    Well didn't make my target for the month but did declutter 177 items. Most importantly I really reduced the amount of stuff I've been buying. As frustrating as it was deducting items coming in to the house from my target it really made me think about what I was buying.


    Thanks all for the motivation.
    Welcome Commited.
    Sorry to hear you've been ill Rosieben


    I'm up for a 310 items challenge in December.
    Shifting my energy for 2020 :heart::heart::heart:
  • As I started late in November I'm up for another challenge in December - get out that clutter before more enters the home after 25th!

    I don't mind what we go for - ill attempt to take part in anything!

    So far today I've sold 3 things on eBay:

    Icecream Maker
    Card Making Pack
    Compare the Market Meerkat

    Plus 3 boxes re-used for packaging and a load of bubble wrap...

    I'm counting that as 7 items!!!!!! :T
    2015 - I am determined to lose at least 3 stone in weight and I must pay off at least one of my credit cards...If I keep telling myself, I might start believing it!!! :D
    Save £2 a day for Xmas 2015 Challenge: £56/£730
    :dance: HAPPY NEW YEAR - HERE'S TO A GREAT 2015 FOR US ALL! :dance:
  • So I have made a start. :j

    I have cleared all the dead plant life from the windowsills in the front room. It was the remains of my chilli and tomato plants. It may not sound like much but they've been there for months! :eek:

    I have also created 3 items on eBay to sell - just need to add photos when I get home (I'm in work), and I have three more items that I want to sell, but need to be at home with all the information to list them.

    Starting small - but I am starting. :D

    I hope everyone is have a nice Sunday.

    Evening all, I haven't been on here for ages but am continually decluttering, out today was a nest of tables I sold and I have been in the loft to sort out all the stuff up there, I've been putting things up there all year for a car boot but never did one so the stuff I can sell on Ebay will be getting listed and the rest going to the CS.
    I decluttered the kitchen about a month ago so theres a box of kitchen stuff in the loft that'll go the CS, there a MIND bag due to be collected on Thursday so it could be their lucky day
