Decluttered: one small pile of old birthday cards, a small used up handcream, some ood make up and some 'ecosoil' which had shrivelled up and couldn't be rescued. I've also got an old vase to wash up and take to a charity shop.


I'm running out of boxes & bag to pack all my stuff into, should've made a better job of the decluttering earlier in the year!

Hi Pollys Are the out of date foods still edible?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

Out of date and opened since I don't know when. Not worth the risk.

I would have done a sniff test first

Finally finished going through my clothes drawers and can add the following yo the list:

1 x pair of jeans
1 x blouse
1 x dress
2 x skirts
2 x trousers

I have also started on the bedroom bookcase and added an exercise DVD to the charity box list.

It's amazing how much stuff we actually collect in our homes. My drawers still seem full despite what I have placed in the charity box :eek: I still need to try blouses on as they are all different sizes due to weight loss and I'm sure there will be those that just look too big to get away with but I will leave that task until next week I think.

Also threw out three bras this week - couldnt even hang them on the washing line they were so ragged!!

Keep finding little bits to dispose of.

Have finally decluttered a pair of curtains into a table cloth, 4 napkins and two dinning chair seat pad covers.
Also used a third of an old duvet for seat pads.

We're getting there - slowly....

All doing well ....... we have slowed down with the kids holidays but have managed to clear the kitchen cupboards and drawers, I still delight in opening the cupboard and seeing lovely clean white shelves instead of jam packed rubbish. Also started the toy storage shelves yesterday and recycled a huge pile of drawings and sticker books which had been completed. I want to do the girls bedroom cupboard next but it is a huge job so need to build myself up for it ;0)

That's a good idea for the old duvet

I've cut an old pillow in half and sewn the edges to give extra padding for the dog's beds. He's got one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom and they're now nicely padded

Have managed a bit more decluttering of the bedroom bookcase this afternoon and another 24 books are in the charity box. Lots of papers have been shredded and there are now a couple of empty folders. Have another two shelves and then that's sorted as well

DH just off to the tip/recycling bank/charity shop with another boot full of stuff. Too much stuff to list individually.

Happy decluttering.
