Lovely to hear everyone else's progress, it's great when other people notice the difference.

Quick early morning declutter:

2 bottles of wine (gone to school tombola)
Plastic tray
2 shoe polish
Shoe brush
Cloth
Napkin ring
Pan scrubber
Pack of wool

Yorkielass

146-148 3 paper light shades sold on Gumtree & collected last night.

Have a relatively quiet weekend ahead so going to use it to really try and get some more stuff out of the house.

This is a brilliant thread - why have I never stopped by before!?!

I'm going to join in if that's okay with you lovely guys n gals - I know I'm very late for the Nov challenge but I'm sure you'll all be continuing to declutter into Dec and well into 2014!!

My first bit of decluttering for the day has been:

10 magazines - gone to a new home to be re-read
2 empty boxes - recycling
1 eye cream and 1 cleanser finally used from beauty stash!

Onwards and upwards!

Welcome Gloomgurlie

Cannot seem to get motivated today, was going to make a start on the dining room and under the stairs, but its just not happening, instead I've sorted 4 vases full of junk, 4 folders of paperwork out of the dresser drawers.

Out
1 carrier bag of paperwork waiting to be shredded
1 benidorm dvd, given to a friend
1 photo frame
1 christmas recipe book, charity shop pile
1 old nintendo 64 game pad, charity shop pile
1 star wars origami book, charityshop pile
1 carrier bag of rubbish, binned

Think that will do for today, just not feeling it today x

That's a good effort Jacksmummy, sounds like you've got lots done.

Sorted through the children's book shelves, decluttered:

Bag of books for school fair
Bag of books for charity
Partly done colouring books in recycling
Magazines in recycling
Leaflets
Coat hooks
Hoodie

Also posted:
2 fat quarters of fabric
Patchwork block (in birthday club with fellow patchworkers)

I've got 2 more patchwork blocks to do, cut out some of the pieces and addressed the envelopes so partway there on these. Been meaning to do these for ages, so it's a few less things to feel guilty for not finishing (will finish them tomorrow and post on Monday hopefully).

I've not been very good on the decluttering front today. In fact I've managed to gain items! One of these being some wine glasses - oh well! The rate we go through wine glasses with two dogs & very waggly tails, those glasses won't be round for too long!!!
