Yep, count me in.... won't be until later this evening though.
So far today:
176-177. 2 fleeces sewn as backing to lounge curtains
178. Bags of coin banked at Nationwide
These have been in a wardrobe since last winter.... at last I have got a round tuit!!! (Just need to do the other end of the lounge's curtains now, but hey, I'm not one to rush things!).
Today has been more of a 'doing' day than a decluttering day; we took the fabric recycling to the local recycling, a bag to a charity shop, and banked loads of bags of coin from collecting tins.
I'll report back later after my mad half hour!!!Keep Calm and Carry On Kondoing

Well done mrsm and Rummer :T :T Brilliant!
Loopy - How about just 5 mins today during a TV ad break? :j
Felt a bit poorly yesterday so abandoned decluttering. But the weather forecast today is rain so ideal decluttering weather.
I plan a mad half hour in each of the really cluttered rooms today :j Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

Have been slack/busy for a few days but have a time slot free tomorrow to tackle some clutter.A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.
Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.
