    Loads of stuff gone to the tip today. I feel quite uplifted.:A

    I have to go and declutter the weeds in the garden later. We got rid of our shed so the weeds seem more noticeable now.:rotfl:

    I don't even want to start to think what's in our sheds (there are two of them) :eek:

    I only have five more drawers to do which are mainly skirts, dresses, trousers and jeans. I can get those done tomorrow now :)

    Hello
    It's the school holidays and we are just back from our family holiday, so it's time to declutter. We started with the back garden. We have done lots of cutting back. Hedges and lawns done. We managed to get the teenagers out of bed to help. DH took everything straight to the recycling/tip. Also got rid of a compost bin as we condensed two bins into one. Old doormat, mirror and some cardboard from the garage also gone.

    Managed to get the holiday washing dried, so now need to declutter the ironing pile. We are hoping to make a start on the shed and garage tomorrow, hopefully the weather will be good.

    Have a lovely evening.

    We didn't get the garage or shed done as DH wanted to start on the front garden. We did loads more cutting down, DH cut the hedges and we prepared part of the garden ready to put seed down to extend the lawn. Tomorrow's job is to scatter the seed, weather permitting.

    We filled two garden sacks, two black bags and a dustbin, all taken to tip.

    Tonight I made a start on the ironing pile (still loads to do) and DH decluttered the fridge. Still lots to do outside and we will work there whilst the weather is fine. It's given light showers for us tomorrow.

    I've put a bin bag at the top of the stairs to try and encourage the teenagers to have a bit of a clear out - I've just checked and there's a few bits of rubbish in it.

    Time for a cup of tea and an early night , back too it tomorrow.

    Happy decluttering.

    Just a quick post to keep me motivated.

    Some kitchen cupboards decluttered of out of date food and medicines and general rubbish. I'm making a shopping list as I go.

    Stationery drawers sorted, lots of rubbish now gone.

    DH has made a start on the shed we reckon about a black bag of stuff to go. We have just stopped for lunch and a cup of tea, much needed.

    Be back soon.

    Hi Pollys Are the out of date foods still edible? It would be a shame to waste if you could still use them :o

    Gosh lots of decluttering going on :)

    I can add 3 paperback books, a pack of hair bobbles and clips, a headband, stickers, notebook and wallet, glow in the dark plastic skeleton, a random badge, ten pairs of socks, a bra and a pair of trousers to the decluttered list :)

    Edited to add: 7 of the 9 sections of the kitchen have now been decluttered. Just the shelves and the cabinet to declutter now :)
