    Two old sports bras decluttered - now too big :D lessbounce.com gives you £3 off a new bra if you send the old one in so I'm gonna give that a try :) being honest I need a good clear out of sports gear but just can't bear to throw stuff away!

    No decluttering for me today as I'm at work and out tonight. In fact probably won't get chance to do any more until the weekend.:(

    But I've had a payment into my bank account for the scrap gold I decluttered on Friday. After the postage cost (special delivery) I've made £78.35! Result! :j

  • Started decluttering in my walk in cupboard, 6 bags for charity shop (lots of books) and a few things for ebay.

    Still got lots to do but its a start, progress is slow with work and the whole family has this horrific cold going around.
  • Afternoon, everyone!

    * Wii game sold on Amazon - posted.
    * Pair of shoes returned to store (didn't fit).
    * Son 'decluttered' off to college!
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

    Afternoon everyone,

    I have finally thrown out both the "garden shoes" that I kept by the back door for nipping out into the garden and the "emergency shoes" that I kept under my desk at work.

    YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!

    Happy decluttering everyone.:)

    Hi all,

    Can I join in this? My house is overflowing at the moment - to the point where I'm not even sure where to start! I live a fairly small flat with little to no storage space - unfortunately before this I lived in a house and the downsize has left us with surplus stuff everywhere, to the extent that I still have boxes not unpacked and we've lived here over 2 years now!! The spare room is a dumping ground - OH's friend does stop over sometimes and my parents visit occasionally so I have managed to confine it to one side of the room and an overflowing cupboard, but it's space that I could otherwise have for something useful. Something needs to be done and am determined am not going to put it off anymore.

    I guess start small and maybe focus on one room at a time?

    You lot are bloody amazing! I've just sat and read about 10 pages in amazement! You all need to come round to mine for a decluttering party! My flat is a tip at the moment. I'm another one with the horrible cold, but instead of feeling sorry for myself today, I decided to sort out some clothes. 8 items to the recycling bag, and then I have about 20 things to list on ebay at some point soon. Shamefully, about half of them still have the labels on!
