  • Had a couple of lazy days decluttering-wise, after my mammoth haul at the weekend! A friend came round Tuesday and took another load of stuff (already listed though), but at least it's out of the house.

    302. Fabric used up by making 5 morsbags (https://www.morsbags.com)
    303. Dead parsley plant thrown in garden bin
    304. Large cardboard box with various packagings that had been forgotten in the garage
    305. A jelly roll used up making a quilt top (strips of 2 1/2" wide fabric)

    That's about it: I've had a couple of 'bad' days depression-wise so haven't felt much like decluttering - but at least my total has gone up by 4!!

    Only four more days in this house! After living here for 24 years it feels a bit odd but I am so looking forward to the new place back in Scotland.

    Only things left to declutter are the desk (British Heart Foundation), an old futon (to the tip) and my lovely gas cooker (freegled).

    I keep going through the drawers and cupboards to see if there are any other things to chuck...:rotfl:

    In the words of the rock god Plant

    Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
    Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
    But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way

  • Hi, I haven't posted on this bit before but have enjoyed reading through the posts. I don't think I'm a hoarder as I love a clear emptyish room since the kids have got older and their toys aren't cluttering up the house. But my problem is that I hang onto lots of things thinking I will make money from them on ebay. But, I never actually get around to putting them on.

    Last week I listed 6 items of clothing, all decent apart from an old sports bra, well what do you think sold?? yes, the bra for 50p!! I'm not sure things are selling like they used to? So I had another sort through yesterday and bagged up a full bin bag of stuff for charity and am left with 3 big bags for ebay of stuff that 'might' sell.

    Part of me wants to just give it all to charity to get rid of it but then I wonder if I'm just being lazy as I HATE using ebay.

    I also need a good sort out of cupboards but just keep putting it off so hopefully coming on here will inspire me :)
