    164 on Friday night, bag of teatowels washed & back to the theatre.

    So 164 items out of the house but 168 squares crocheted together using 18 balls of yarn so although they haven't actually left the house I have a usable blanket now rather than a pile of squares and balls on wool on a shelf so I think that's pretty good.

    I'm raring to go with December. November needed me £101 selling 'clutter' on Gumtree and a further £8.74 on Etsy.

    So I'm hoping for 300 items actually out of the house in December and at least £100, preferably £150 from selling stuff.

    Good luck everyone.

    Why did I put broken Christmas lights in the loft??? needless to say they are now in the bin with broken candy cane lights so I now need to buy new ones to replace them.

    After a successful and slightly frantic 300 item declutter in November, I've decided to go for a festive 40 item fling for December. So far we have decluttered:

    3 books (my daughter got rid of these off her own bat, she's been converted!)
    Tricycle - sold on ebay
    Clock radio - ebay
    2 razors
    Skin scrubber

    3 more items have bids on ebay, so those will be going too.

    1 - bottle of nail varnish remover that was empty in the bathroom recycled.

    Must try harder!
