Wardrobe sorted and big bag of 'to get rid of' stuff filled up. I'm not going to declare it as decluttered though until it actually leaves the house :rotfl: hoping to get it on some selling pages this week plus some for cs, prob for rags.

Hi all,
I had a fab august, getting 100 things out of the house, and have just got another 100 things out of the house during September. Am so chuffed and, although things are coming in all of the time too, overall it has really made a difference. I'm not sure when I'll stop, but I'm going to try for another 100 in October. Maybe I'll just keep going until there's nothing excess in the house or Christmas. Whichever comes first lol...

Thanks for posting on here everyone. It keeps me motivated when I read about your efforts.

Next year I WILL be able to clean and tidy the house without having to spend hours moving stuff first! :-)

I'm having a major clear out of ALL of my cupboards, bookshelves, wardrobe and drawers.

So far I've disposed of 3 bin bags to the charity shop and gone from a full under-bed space to 2 small boxes of DVDs and paperwork.

My bedroom has started to smell of mould so I'm trying to do a deep clean and having a clear out as I go, it's surprising how much stuff you collect.

happy october all. lets try and clear some clutter ready for all those christmas deccys and things that will be coming into the house over that period. im going to try and get 100 things out in october, there ive said it now so no going back. it only works out at 3 or 4 things a day so should be doable.

1. cardboard boxes for garden lights weve had over a year- put in recycling
2. pack of machine dye being taken round mils to dye a dress she accidentally bleached.
3. bag of dead batteries - taken to recycling bin.

thats a start.
