Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

Becky_2

I enjoy reading too about your decluttering efforts, it motivates me to do mine.

On Sunday I managed to:
* Finish off my sewing work, 5 buttons are now firmly attached to the clothes, this took at least 90 minutes - great achievement for me to be able to tick off this task.
* 1 card written and posted yesterday.
* Recycled some old take away leaflets.

Gosh - doesn't decluttering make an awful lot of mess?

Piles of this, piles of that, black bin bags of t'other! Can't find any more friends to give stuff too anymore as I seem to be shifting tat from my house to theirs. :rotfl:

It's kitchen drawer time in this household. No wonder I can never find a pen, they are all scattered between the six drawers in the kitchen and not in the ones in the computer desk (where they should be). As for safety pins (why do I have these anymore??) and elastic bands - I'm sure they are breeding in the night.

There's more going out than coming in so that's good.

Great to read of what others are doing. Another trip to the tip tomorrow coming up.

decluttered 5 bags of garden waste, front hedge clipped and garden weeded.

got a lovely giftaid letter off the local mind charity ive been taking all my [STRIKE]useless tat[/STRIKE] valuable donations to. theyve raised £99.20 selling my stuff since they last wrote.
its inspired me to go and forage for some more for them.

decluttering 5 CDs 3 books, a couple of empty washing powder boxes (bro sells car parts so they are ideal for postage), a few baby items and toys tomorrow as going to visit my mum.

weather lovely so remember to use sunscreen if you are out and about its all well and good decluttering your white bits but they dont want burning:)

I'm helping my friend with her decluttering, by selling some of her things on eBay. We split the proceeds, so we both benefit, but believe me, she has a lot of stuff. However, it is very nice stuff and sells easily.

She gave me a pile of stuff the other week, and I'm trying to ebay it as quickly as possible, as it's cluttering my house at the moment!

Apart from my friends things, I've decluttered the following things of mine in the last couple of weeks


299 Men’s suit – clothing bank
300 4 LP’s from the 1980’s – eBay
301 Palazzo pants – eBay
302 1940’s pressed glass tray – eBay
303 old postcard – eBay
304 Radley handbag – eBay
305 Cord jeans – eBay
306 3 jigsaws
307 1980’s book – eBay
308 suitcase – eBay

I've been decluttering like a monster. I got rid of about three pieces of furniture and about 30 bags of stuff to a local charity shop.:T

I think my house looks better with less stuff around although having the house more bare is making me notice that it desperately needs redecorating!:p

:T Well done for all the decluttering you are doing.

I am on holiday at the moment but today I have deleted over 100 old emails from 2008 to 2013. Great feeling to declutter the inbox. I have also sent off 3 emails to friends that I haven't contacted for ages.

While on holiday I have also used up 1 eye cream.

Going home later this week to continue my decluttering at home.
