Hello all, could I join in please?
I've spent the last couple of days taking a couple of hundred books to CS. Finally dawned on me that I will never get round to reading them. Feel so much better now that I actually have lots of space on the bookshelves. However, am not going to be buying anymore books until I've read the ones that I've kept - need to sign up to the DFW challenge.
Best wishes,

Oooh, hello to the new declutterers!
I've been job hunting, and haven't had too much time for decluttering recently, but did manage:-
312. Miscellaneous bits and bobs to electrical recycling bin
I have a small bag of stuff in the boot to take to the charity shop at the weekend, but it doesn't look as though I will be able to reach my target of 365 items in 2014. Still, I'm quite impressed with what I have managed, especially since I declutter continuously! I must look at actually buying less stuff, I think .... !Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

I was given 7 photo frames 13 years ago, 4 of these I never even opened.
The four have gone to my daughter as they were the size she wanted and the other three to a charity shop. Also she took 2 others that I didn't need that I probably bought before the others.
Very happy to have decluttered these as I would never have used them.
I still have a few others that I need to deal with. I prefer my photos in albums now.Not Rachmaninov
