2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

PenguinOfDeath

1 bag to the CS today, also put bag of winter clothes and an old duvet (to use as insulation) up in the attic.


Managed to use up a small shower gel fomr an Xmas set, I didn't like the smell so was just going to chuck it but then :idea: I used it for shaving for the past couple of weeks, saving my normal shower gel for the usual business.


The Xmas present pile is mounting up thanks to the sales so I need to sort out the boxes under the spare bed so I don't end up de-cluttering pressies by mistake :laugh:

Probably a stupid question but how do you use the duvet as insulation?

Last time I was on this thread was just over 2 years ago when we were moving house. We've had a few tip/CS runs in that time, but things are creeping towards clutter again, so I think I need to go for 100 items this month. Wish me luck (again, lol)!

BTW, what's our August motto??

There are some gaps between the joists (?!) in the flour of the attic where it isn't boarded, I've managed to roll it and put it in between two, probably won't make a jot of difference but it was damaged anyway so can't do any harm

Hi BettiePage, I've not been on here for a while either and I don't think anyone has had a monthly motto for ages. So I hereby declare that the motto for August is "August Abolition".... and I am going to start have a target of 100 for starters. Like you the clutter is gradually creeping back in

Hello

Spent the day decluttering the garage and defrosting the freezer. The garage looks so much better. DH took a car full of stuff to the recycling bank/ tip.

We put some things to other uses a coat hook we found is now used for garden tools and two zinc boxes are having holes drilled in them to use as planters.

A very productive day.

No monthly motto?! :eek:

Hopefully this will kickstart having a motto. How can we cope otherwise?! :rotfl:
