Decluttering 2013, the saga continues ...

cte1111

Emptied out the bottom of my wardrobe, found all sorts of useful things, including a top I thought I'd lost. Decluttered:

5 pairs of shoes
Laundry bag
Bath mat
Insoles

Also chucked out an also empty bottle of rabbit hutch disinfectant (no longer have rabbit or hutch).

wooohoo just reached 300. My home is now completely de cluttered after doing the October and November challenges. Just got a few things to put away now and then all finished.

My mind feels less cluttered now too so its true if you live in clutter your mind is cluttered. Much happier now. Thanks for the challenges and good luck all those still at it. It sure is worth it in the end.

Morning all!

Well done on the effort you've all been putting in to declutter! It'll certainly pay off - especially in the run up to Christmas when the house is full of gifts and extra bits n bobs.

I've not done all that much sadly as I've been a bit poorly with a stupid cold but I have managed to declutter the following:

Cake pop maker, sticks and bags - eBay
3 plastic wine glasses - rubbish
Old Tupperware box with no lid - rubbish
Old lip glosses sorted & binned x5
Craft stash sorted and a lot binned. The good stuff will be going on eBay soon.

Hoping to do some more this week. Keep up the decluttering addiction!!

Not done a great deal of decluttering this last few days altho I've not got that much to do now, I'm really enjoying a clean decluttered home.

I bought some new cups yesterday so offloaded 7 of our old ones to my friend
2 hampers I made up have been donated to the school for the xmas fair.
1 christmas cup...That ds broke whilst playing football in the house (not an impressed mummy!) binned!
2 cat collars.... donated to friend.
1 smelly gift set... donated to school fair

Hello all!

You ve been busy :j

My work has too. Such a pain.

I'm going to go for de cluttering 300 things in December. Concentrating on downstairs primarily.

I think I also need to put in place some storage solutions too.

Thanks to the challenges there is less stuff. Just need less! And storage.

I re start Sunday! :j

Wow - you've all done so much & it sounds like a lot of people are really seeing the fruits of their decluttering.


I've not made much progress because of work, DS' birthday & parents eve only one item to add


Out
163. PE bag CS

In
- Karen Millen Skirt £1 from CS - it would have been wrong not to buy it!
- sparkly bag bought for a 70s disco I'm going to - CS
- purple fat face top - CS

So my total has actually gone down since last time.


There's no way I'm going to hit my 300 target this month but I'm going to make a last ditch attempt to get up to 200 by the end of the day tomorrow.

How can it be 29th November already?!

Only a few more bits out for me:
149-150 2 coffee tables, just cheap Ikea ones that we have no need for in this house, sold via Gumtree
151 -153 1 small book case & 2 height extenders, sold to OH's work after I listed on Gumtree & they mentioned they were going to buy some.
154 - 1 guiding publication given to another leader who is going to store them (just need to do the rest now)
155 - 156 2 packs of little fabric squares sold on Etsy
157 Memory card full of photos to a friend
158 Scarf regifted as present to another friend
159-160 cards to go with 2 things above
161-163 packaging for the above.

So over half way there - selling 6 of the 7 items of furniture was a big step forward in terms of freeing space in the loft and with other gumtree sales I've not done too shabbily money wise too.

Tomorrow I'm having a stay at home in my pjs day I'm finally going to get my craft room properly tidy and do some sewing so I probably won't have a lot to add unless it's paper/rubbish into a recycling box/bin.

Still 163 things is better than nothing and haven't added too much to the house this month either.
