2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

Uniscots97

My list so far:-


1) Old Christmas cards
2) 2 old shampoo bottles (used up the contents)
3) Old piece of electronic equipment (sold on ebay but still to post)
4) bag of old envelopes/general paperwork
5) Bottle of lactulose that SS got last year when he came out of hospital. It was cluttering up my kitchen (as he's a nightmare for his stuff being in his room).

Ha Ha flyingmamma, same as the pink ones she gave me last year but blue this time! Must have been a job lot. Bridget Jones big pants better than these!

Does decluttering a car count??????????? Getting a second hand new car tomorrow and discovered today the old car's sub frame has gone! How is that for good timing? Would have been really difficult if we had been left with no transport. DH at Scrap Yard as I type!

You're all doing so well! Feel like I'm still in Christmas mode - had a day off work today, so have spent most of it slobbing on the sofa reading. I sold 11 items on ebay yesterday though (still waiting for 5 people to pay though) and have managed to get rid of a few other bits this afternoon. So only 80 to go to hit January's target!

Ooh, and thanks to whoever posted the link to the shoe purge tips. It's not something I'm brave enough to actually do at the moment, but it's given me something to think about

6) A (now empty) Christmas tin of chocolate wafers.


I would normally keep tins like this but I'm not going to unless I have an actual use!

A very productive day!

I've done more decluttering in the last few days that I have in the last few years I think! Last night at midnight I started on the wardrobe!!!!! This morning I took 4 bags of clothes to the charity shop and put one bag in the bin. That wardrobe has stressed me out so much, it's like a bonfire. You don't dare take anything off the shelf for fear of everything falling on you. Well no longer. The house is starting to feel so much calmer, it's starting to feel like my home again. Sock drawer tonight x

Hi. Really need to join in this year. (Previously joined last year, or was it actually the year before that!) Anyway 2014 has to be the year to finally get rid of all the stuff that I have been hanging on to just in case I find a need for it one day.


After reading this thread for the last couple of years I have realised if I had of spent that time decluttering I would probably be finished by now!!


Today we completed on the sale of my parents' house after losing them both in the last 18 months. After spending hours with my 2 sisters going through all the stuff that was hidden away in cupboards I don't want anybody to have to do that for me one day so here goes!


Off to sort out the boiler cupboard in the kitchen as this has become the latest place to just open the door and shove stuff in!


I may be sometime.....

Today, Christmas cards out into the recycling, box from baby's cot recycled, large box of baby clothes and moses basket into the loft (technically not decluttering I know, but stored for whoever in my circle gets pregnant next).
