    Debt-free and Proud!
    I lurk on this board and get inspired by you ladies to do a declutter every so often - so since the new year I have chucked:

    massive pile of magazines recycled
    20 wine bottles from xmas recycled
    box of jam jars recycled (had been residing in loft for 3 years)
    clear out of underwear drawers, items binned
    clear out of toiletries - vowed to use up everything last year - didn't use up the multitudes of body scrubs so binned em (thankfully didn't get more at xmas)
    threw out moisturiser I hated feel of - getting ruthless!
    new handbag that im not keen on that I got for xmas is heading to charity shop

    Should really be decluttering now, but skiving on MSE ;)

    Following my success at the towels and bedding I've set myself a to-do list. The inside of the house is clutter free. My areas of focus in the next few weeks to be clutter free need to be:

    The attic
    The Garage
    The garden shed

    After that's all done I won't know what to do with myself LOL.

    The half a bin bag of clothes is now a full bin bag, these will be going to charity. The box is now full of various glass items and some Christmas gifts from last year which are unused, these will also go to the charity shop.

    Lots of recycling put in the various bins ready for collection on Monday.

  • Wasn't planning on decluttering today, but while in the living room, I noticed:-

    29; 30 : two DVDs (not worth anything) - CS bag
    31 : book - CS bag

    At this rate it's not going to take me long to reach 100!!
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    I'll sort it now. This thread will expire soon.


    My smilies aren't working at the moment, but if they were I'd send you all lots of embarrassed ones for being such an idiot.


    I really am so sorry for the confusion and thank you to those who took the time to let me know.
