Quick sneak on whilst DS asleep. Here's what can remember from last few days:

114-117. 4 items sold on Ama$on and posted
118 - 121. 4 items traded in on ama$on
122. Gave book had read to friend
123-4. party decoration items don't use - charity shop
125. used up two gift vouchers (i have let them expire on more than one occasion before, so this is progress for me!)

Borrowed the toothbrush principle from the library - anyone else read it?

Well done ... never heard of the book but I'm intrigued - what's it about?

by no means a feng shui expert but got the idea from this site. yes i use a scented candle (rather than smudging with sage) i think the idea is to get the flow going but it also just makes it nice

Got permission from OH to chuck out his tea cups, second lot of decluttering today got rid of:

Set of tea cups and saucers
2 old mugs
Apron
Cool bag
Spice jar

Have large assortment of spice jars to tackle, for some reason I don't want to throw them out despite being out of date. Thought I'd start with one that I don't like and see if that will inspire me to sort through the rest tomorrow.

Through looking at my clients houses I have come to understand why my house always looks like Attila the Hun and his army have been over for the weekend. That is not everything has a permenant home IYSWIM. So part of my decluttering involves finding permenant homes for the things that are staying but more importantly making sure that the other 3 people who live here also knows this information. Well I can dream can't I .

Todays report consists of

13. IKEA Murmel bed canopy (unused) - CS bag
14. Two very girly books - donated to school for book bag reading

and the CS bag that was filled has been deposited at said Charity Shop:j.

Decluttering ruthlessly as I will need to put my house contents in storage and do not intend to PAY to store anything I do not need. Working my way through all the freebie sachets I have gathered over the years but yesterday (just out of bath, not wearing glasses!) I opened a sachet of body ***** and tried to rub it in thinking it was lotion - it was WASH!!!!!!!! LOL
