2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

Fiasco55

Not making much progress on the decluttering stakes just now.

61. Even more junk mail into the recycling bag.
62. Tackled the pile of shredding.
63. Birthday bag delivered.
64. Brought a bag of toiletries from mine to my bf to refresh what I have there.
65. Used up some toiletries, face wipes and cotton buds.

Really hoping to hit 100 before the end of the year.

Decluttering is going well this week I have finally started to deal with 3 folders that I have wanted to deal with since last Christmas. The aim is to only have 1 folder left and that the rest will be shredded. Half of the paperwork is now lying in a pile waiting to be shredded.

Also, a couple of toiletry sachets have now been used up.

Good luck to all with your decluttering

Dropped a at off at the CS roughly containing
4 books (two of which I've not read since my teens WHY did I sill have them?!)
2 old tops
2 lampshades
1 soft toy
1 pair of boots not worn in years

Also:
1 deo spray used up
1 aftershave used up
Box of sweets taken for work peeps to devour

Big pile of docs need to be sorted into folders this weekend, probably half the existing contents of the folders also need shredding but I'm wary 'just in case'

Lots of Xmas presents to be wrapped and put under tree soon so some under bed boxes can be cleared, might have a go at the others too to make some room for the inevitable influx later this month

I have now gone through 3 folders and after having gone through the content it now fits into 1 folder. All paperwork that I no longer need has now been shredded and taken to Mr T's paper recycling (our local council don't take shredded paper).

The 2 empty folders have gone in the bin since they were falling apart.

Today I have also sorted out my various sealed single tea bags that I have managed to accumalate. I am going to make an effort to use them up. 2 have been used up today. Some unloved teabags will be taken to work to be used up by work colleagues.

Well I have begun the mammoth pre-christmas declutter

Oodles of rubbish ready for the dump and endless bags of things waiting to go to the charity shop. It is always so theraputic and I think I prefer this declutter to the spring declutter and clean

Rummer - I also do a pre Christmas de-clutter each year and I have started today for2014!


Lounge and hall "stuff" de-cluttered to the dining room ready to sort it all out. Lounge and hall now cleaned and ready to put up the trees tomorrow afternoon.


Mega wash session going on atm as been to DS this weekend so have loads to do.
Just de-cluttering a drink then I'm off to attack the upstairs!


Luckily it is not too bad - but there will be stuff in the cupboards to sort but will do those one at a time!


Happy de-cluttering everyone. x
