    Decluttering starts again after a few days spent gardening (decluttering outdoors) I'm working on our bedroom today. DH is working so I'm doing my cupboards/drawers/wardrobe.

    I've already got a pile of tops,bras,socks and tights to go to the charity shop/rags.

    I'll update later, to keep me motivated!

    Just about finished the bedroom. It just needs a really good clean now, and DH to sort his stuff out.

    A bag for the charity shop
    Recycling - mainly paper and a couple of plastic bottles.
    General rubbish

    Think that will be it for today, I'm exhausted.

    I'm planning on getting rid of a table to a charity shop this week.:) My house is actually starting to look more empty. It's much easier to clean and vacuum when you don't have many items of furniture to move around.

    I did have a bit of a "Oh no, where is so and so? I must have decluttered it" moment at the weekend.:D I needed to find a hairband or something to tie up a bag of dry cat food but I did find a hairband I must have kept as an emergency.:cool:
