24. Present for best friend (that's been sitting there waiting to go for months!)

Dresser and bookcases today:
21 books into recycling or CS box
4 videos binned as none of the local CS shops will take them now
2 more items of clothing, a cushion cover and two table napkins into the fabric recycling sack.
3 items of cutlery into CS box, along with 5 decorative jugs and a small ornament
A tin without a lid recycled

Great result this week.

* 2 boxes are coming out of the garage this week to be taken with us on holiday and will be given to relatives - so won't be coming back to ours.
* 2 bags of empty plastic bottles and cans have been put in the recycling bin which will be emptied tomorrow.
* Garden bin being emptied tomorrow
* OH has tidied up his office which so looks so much better now

Today I threw away an old serving spoon and a old, stained kitchen plug.

I was giving some stuff to a family member but they haven't collected it yet so I'm going to have to hurry them up!

Afternoon everyone! Have sorted through the wardrobe today and now have a massive blue Ikea bag full of clothes that will be leaving my flat sooner rather than later. Need to go through it and weed out the things I can realistically sell and the things that can go to charity.

Have also earmarked a pile of books that need to go. Will list those on Amazon tonight and if they haven't sold by the end of the year then they'll go to the charity shop too.

Some things have actually left my house today:

25. Bag with broken straps (no idea why I was holding on to this)
26. Broken coat hangers
27. Pile of magazines in the recycling
28. Misc rubbish that was lying around

Now to crack open the new shredder and start getting rid of the piles of receipts that have been piling up!

7. Kids lunchbox with ripped lining - bin
8 kids lunchbox with largely intact lining- cs
9. Lots of plastic hangers- back to the dry cleaners from whence they came
10. Smell filter things for a compost caddy I no longer possess- bin

Nct nearly new sale in November:) need to get my boxes ready!:D

Yesterday:
- a broken hanger - binned
- a pencil tin - recycled
- an old teatowel - binned


Looking forward to getting my new bookcase from IKEA on Saturday, so I am going through my large books to decide what to keep and what to cull. I spent a lot of yesterday sitting on the attic steps reading craft books ....:o

Yesterday, for the first time in all the time I've been decluttering, I actually felt really happy and proud of myself- I was shredding & binning the years worth of receipts I've been hoarding meticulously for years. Bit of a watershed moment for me really- why was I keeping a receipt for my grocery shopping from October last year?? It wasn't of any use at all, so it's gone, and they'll stay gone :j

Anyone else had that awesome feel good feeling decluttering?

It's amazing how you can keep finding junk in the house. I am going through all the drawers again today.
