I'm getting confused with the decluttering threads.... I see 2 have been locked so are we continuing to use this one or will there be another one for 2014?

i pmed pink as well and told her the locked thread was just going round in a circle as the link shed done to charlie's mums thread took us to the beginning of the locked one. hopefully she'll sort it soon.

so far ive decluttered a heat pack from the first aid box onto my lower back as its hurting like heck.

Thanks Rosieben, the merged thread seems to be locked, unless I'm looking at the wrong thread x

yes sorry, didn't make it very clear, the merged thread has been locked too; no doubt Pink will be on the case when she has chance

ooops - poor Pink! She's gonna be inundated with pm's - cos I've sent her one as well :rotfl:.

I'm going to have a go at listing my 'chuckouts' -

1. 1 kids video – got it on DVD so it can go to CS
2. 1 Android phone case (got rid of phone last year) – dumped into rubbish
3. 1 Ikea shopping list – from last summer – recycling
4. Junk mail – sorted into what could be recycled and what couldn't
5. 1 'O2 Ice phone earpiece' (2006) – dumped into rubbish


Have also 'decluttered' living room furniture - all now back into pre-Christmas positions so dining table is more accessible for eating off. Still looking very neat and tidy :j.

I sent her one, too

As I'm here, and the other threads are locked, yesterday afternoon DS1 and I cleared up in his room :-

3-12 various items, including a keyring collection, in CS bag
13 pile of various papers to recycling
14-27 books, in CS bag
28 old Xbox game, worthless, in CS bag

Well at least it happened at the beginning of the year and be sorted . ( new tread merged and blocked I mean).

Last year I was posting on a Christmas craft thread that was merged a few months in with a thread the mod started herself. It was bedlam. Nothing made sense. All the post numbers of ideas I and others had saved no longer meant anything. I think a lot if us gave up posting.

Have you thought about taking the Xbox games into Game. Even if they are only worth 50p each he would have £14 towards a new game.

(That's if Game still buy used games)

I have taken the other son's game (the same one) into CEX and they won't buy it, either. It was only one Xbox game - it was number 28 on the list of items I am decluttering in January (hopefully 100)!

Most Xbox games in this house are sold or passed on to younger cousins.

Sorry I didn't realise you had a numbered list. I only joined the new thread yesterday. Am posting in here because it is locked.

I've also been posting on one of the other threads lurking somewhere!

but seeing as though this one seems to be active for now, I'll ramble on here instead!

Of my 100 items to de-clutter in January, I've managed 7 things so far:

1-3: old out of date hot sauces from back of kitchen cupboard!
4: Crafting felt bundle - sold on eBay (although not yet paid for!)
5: L'occitane foot cream - finally used up! That stuff lasted ages!
6-7: 2 empty whiskey bottles that have been loitering in the drinks globe - recycled

I'll be on an eBaying mission over the next couple of days so fingers crossed for some sales there

Good luck to you all for a clutter free 2014 and let's hope this thread gets sorted soon! :rotfl:
