Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

Finally started clearing out my under stairs cupboard and a box of shoes has gone, a bag of old coal bags and some broken storage boxes. A large bag of sticks is out to go to my nans for her coal fire as we no longer have one so it may as well be used! I've got another box of toiletries that haven't been used or won't be used ready for another recycle offering, will wait until its full and then offer it out :-) Xx

Decluttered 3 bags of frozen plums (picked last month from the countryside) into plum jam.:)

3 small glass storage jars into CS bag.

Sorted through my sheets and pillowcases. I have 3 cream flat sheets but no cream fitted sheet, just a couple of blue ones (oldish as well). Out go the old odd sheets and pillowcases. Ordered 2 cream fitted sheets so I now I will have 3 complete sets of bedding the same colour and a lot more room in the wardrobe bedding drawer.

Airing cupboard de-cobwebbed and lots put in CS bag including tablecloth and napkins (had them for years and never used them) and cot blankets. Threw away a bath mat and loo mat.

Not a lot of major decluttering done for me. More seems to be coming in than going out. But I'm on holiday this week, so will see what happens.

Got rid of 2 jumpers which I wore at my previous job (which I left about a year ago)
One pile of paper - ready to get shredded

Sticks have gone to Nan's woop! will be de-cluttering some more bits that i have put onto free cycle later this week, already got people asking and they have only been on 15 mins!, only a few little bits but its better than nothing!

Major de-clutter session going to happen on Saturday as i have nothing else planned. Going to attack the small bedroom again, cleared out one box at the weekend but there's plenty more to go!! I have a large bean bag in there that needs to go but i was given it by a friend and want to make sure she doesn't mind me giving it on again before i offer it on free cycle!!

fun fun fun!!

Happy De-cluttering people!!

Out over the last few days:

Some uniform, craft bits, recent orders and few other bits in the cupboards where we do Guides/to girls.

Wallpaper stripper back to my parents (along with some underwear my dad left at our house back in February!)

2 bags of textile recycling, bag of foil, big box of cartons and pile of big cardboard to bins in supermarket carpark (making most of day off) and paper bin was pretty full when it was collected yesterday so I obviously did achieve something in my sort out.

2 more tops back to B@den that I bought in summer but haven't worn for refund, also all 7 things I bought last week to try on, wasn't going to keep them all but hoped at least 1 would fit! Then faulty dress with holes that's already been refunded. That's now 12 items out of the house & refunded, 4 faulty, 3 same as one faulty one so worried they might go same way & 5 unworn, then 7 things that came in & went very quickly again - good for my bank balance but not so good for my wardrobe!

I made a pile of quilt blocks into a quilt top last night - not really decluttering but making them into something more useful is good.


Had some ins though:
Bought 3 magazines for OH, 1 for me,
Toiletries (but they'll all get used and got good deals)
2 new dresses, one for a wedding.
Some books from my parents to read, some to go back, some to pass onto charities
A box of bits from my parents for a charity event I've got coming up - that shouldn't have to stay long though.

So a mixed bag there really. Must get the 'clothes to sell' pile photographed and listed over the next couple of days.

knitted another baby cardi and gave away today so thats a little bit more wool off the stash.
made a Dorothy bag for someone so that a bit of fabric off the stash.
got a carrier bag of stuff to take down the clothes bank and some bottles for the bottle bank.
used up a couple of toiletries so have recycled the bottles

not a lot really but better out than in my house

Not much decluttering will be done today. Hospital appointment:eek::eek:. I'm a little worried about it so not that motivated to do much before it.

Yesterday however I decluttered my chest of drawers in the bedroom and put several items of clothes in the CS bag.

I've been focusing on one room at the moment. It's depressing to see the rest of the house get messy while we do this but determined to fully clear one room at a time.

I'm going to set a timer for 15 minutes to do an intense declutter. Feel free to join in
