    111 112. Odd socks
    113. 114 115 Old t towels, absolutely knackered
    116. Dregs of car shampoo used up
    117. Pack of cloths I'd found in the undersink cupboard used up, were in a sealed packet. Can't be washed so they're used up
    118. 119. Old muslin cloths, note to self don't buy these anymore :o I prefer the Dunelm Mill glove/face cloths

    Cleaned the kitchen today as part of fly lady. I did it while listening to Have I got news for you on I player. Went shopping with a friend and everything I bought was either edible or a cleaning product. No clutter yay!

    Eager - I'll pop to Elaine's site ref the pillowcases :A I've not decluttered these yet

    Make up: as said yesterday I've put a set of make up bits to use up in a cosmetic bag. I felt the lip liner pen beginning to wear out, such joy! I will use it fully up tho. Also dug out a smaller brush to use up the last of a bronzer. The upside is I'm now wearing make up more regularly.

    Every little helps :j

    Last night we started moving books from the living room floor onto the new and the moved around book cases. There are definitely some to go, when I'm back from holiday I'm going to see I can get some money for them somewhere, otherwise I'll cs them, at least they're all on shelves
    We did a similar thing recently Yorkielass. We had DVDs all over the place. We've put them all together so now we can see what's what. Much easier to sort. I'd really like to get rid of one of our shelves. I'll keep chipping away :)

    More clothing, to friend who needs clothing.

    Old random items out of shed.

    One small kitchen cupboard sorted - thew away some aluminium sports bottles and plastic glasses.

    Three hairbrushes.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!
  • I ventured under the kitchen sink and cleared 20 items ,,, an old skipping g rope and an assortment of bolts amongst the junk. It was really only stage one I need to go back and be more ruthless as it still looks untidy... At least it's a start and I now know where the spanners r should I need them! I have never needed a spanner ... In ten yrs...Does this mean I should get rid of them? Or errr decisions?
    No more toys til Xmas 2022 , mfw 2023 challenge , Trying to not waste food , time or money and appreciate the moment more!

    :j Wow, well done everyone :j

    I have not done much as there is building stuff everywhere and there is little point in adding to the chaos. However I am off next week so I am planning on doing a little bit everyday which should hopefully clear quite a bit.

    15 boxes worth of tiles have gone on the wall so that counts in my mind as decluttering as I am no longer tripping over them in the hall ;)
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!

  • Hugs for everyone who needs them xxxx

    Overslept this morning: got up 9.15 - due at dentist at 10!!! Mad rush to get showered (no hot water either), dressed and breakfasted. Luckily I'd sorted out some clothes last night to give to my friend for the homeless shelter so all I had to do was find the black bag for them to go in.

    So today's haul:

    56-75 20 items of clothing I no longer wear
    76-83 8 balls of wool and 2 crochet hooks given to friend
    84-95 12 items from defrosted freezer put out for bin men. I don't normally waste food but these were things that had freezer burn and/or we'd never eat

    Wow, that's taken my total up a bit more: think I'll up my target to 200 now. I have still got loads of clothes to sort out and all my craft stuff, plus the dolls' house stuff. Certainly feel a lot 'lighter' for having got rid of all those clothes.....
    Keep Calm and Carry On Kondoing

    That's great loopychriss :T Every bit of decluttering is bringing you closer to moving home :j

    I may have accidentally binned a bag of clothes set for the dry cleaners. I will have to have a look for them in the morning
