On a roll...
1 air freshener - bin
1 finished deodorant - bin, finally whittling the small toiletry stockpile down!
Going to go through some vest tops, work out what fits keep those and the test will go to CS
Also went though my 'second' email address and unsubscribed from 8 regular emails I get, none of which I ever glance at and they claim to save me money but ultimately would just cost me more!0 -

The ruthless declutter project began today. A decade (at least)!! Of craft, cat and food health mags have been sorted and are in the garage ready for the recycling bin at the supermarket. All my craft stuff has been sorted through (well most of it!) and is being rehomed. Three bags of unwanted clothes. A handful of bags I don't use. So much still to be done but its a start0

I'm getting rid of a useless extractor fan in my kitchen. It's been there so long I had stopped seeing it there if that makes sense.
I have a bag of stuff for the CS so will probably drop that off soon.
I am getting rid of my oven so might see if the British Heart Foundation CS want that...HOUSE MOVE FUND £16,000/ £19,000

2 books
Into the chucking out pile:
1 old pair of slippers
1 dead backpack
1 2013 calendar
1 game controller for an unidentified console
I also downloaded a new album I've been after instead of buying the CD then uploading that to my car system and adding to the clutter0 -
Had another go:
316. teaspoons (had loads) - cs
317. candle lid - bin
318. jacket - cs

Am pressing on with getting 100 items out of my house before the end of Sept. 14 old tools and a bag of garden rubbish to the tip yesterday. I know that's technically the garden but it all helps so I'm counting it lol.Tess x
