Hi everyone, I'd really like to join in this thread as I need to de-clutter. Mainly I have too many clothes, books, makeup and general junk like paper that needs shredding.

I'm aiming of getting rid of at least 100 items between now and the end of the year so here's the progress so far

1 - 8. Books sold on Amazon
9. Old pair of Vans with holes in the soles (I've had them at least 8 years!)
10. Old pair of Rocket Dog shoes with holes in the soles

Only 90 more things to go...

No major decluttering here, just bits and pieces whilst packing and rearranging. But I am learning to get rid of stuff as I see it. I nearly put a blunt pair of scissors mum was complaining about back in the craft room, then I realised what I was doing and binned them. I am trying to put whatever I see when I see it in the bin/CS bag straight away, instead of leaving for the weekend when I am 'decluttering'.

Need to do a de-clutter through our kitchen cupboards as we just have so many pots and pans and I am sure we just do not need them all. I have been quite good and after a major de-clutter earlier in the year I keep on top of thing's better.

I've lurked on and off over the years but I'm finally on a roll with the decluttering. OH is on board and parting with his stuff too. We've finally learned to get rid of books and DVDs! Reading this thread is inspirational and I've also been watching Anthea Turner's "Perfect Housewife" on DVD as I'm decluttering. There's always someone worse off than you! 😊
