    Three toiletries used up.

    Some (5 or 6 things?) clothes.

    Must do better.
    Every little helps :j That's 9 things decluttered :T

    What are the areas/rooms that frustrate you the most? Go for them! I'm breaking each room down into steps. So for the kitchen it's sort the under sink cupboard, cutlery drawer, spices etc.

    Have been trying to declutter lately and make some additional cash to pay off my debts. This will really keep me focused,

    Had the Pickfords man round yesterday to do the moving house quote! It's getting real.

    Got three more bags of clothes to take to CS (bearing in mind that I did a huge declutter of the bedroom at the start of this year this is appalling) plus a bag of books and handbags.

    Still need to tackle the final kitchen cupboard... and then the living room one which is mostly papers.

    Did the scanning thing and now need to get the papers onto a bonfire sometime soon.

    Heading off the cupboard. Wish me luck.

    Not been well so the decluttering has ground to a halt :( however I have started to get the rest of the family on board and if we all work together things should get done a lot faster. Today I am going to write a list of the areas that I need to focus on (not well enough to actually declutter) and think about ways to sell some of the items and maybe get a bit of extra cash :D
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!
