    Three cupboards emptied, cleaned and sorted. Made some room in them!

    More books, some cookbooks which were a problem area.

    Some jumpers/cardigans/toiletries to charity shop (took with the books from yesterday)
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

  • One black sack of assorted tat for bin. Just going to clothes recycler to put some bits (two black bags) in.

    I am finding it it really hard work, have got to press on today as have a days holiday from work.

    Another pile of things went via free cycle last night however I am going to start tracking numbers as of today. I'm still under the weather but hubby has been working through his things so they should help until I am better :D

  • morning all
    the whole tin of sweets and bag of plastic tat got decluttered to the trick or treaters last night
    going to have a bit of a sort out over the weekend ive got stuff for the craft fayre at the end of the month. DD2 is moving house at some point soon so has refiled her old room with lots of stuff that shes promised will go when she does. and ive got piles of christmas stuff to organise.
    i think the cull last month helped clear some space so now i can start sorting before i move on to the prechristmas declutter.

    have started another charity shop box.
