2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

Sally_A

Have offloaded a load more clothes, and a supply of Douwe Egbert coffee jars - they are lovely and useful jars, but I can live without - off they go!!!

Did I mention that about three quarters of the way through the paperwork my shredder died?

Going to have to buy a new one - like or like swap but a necessary one for us. Bummer.

think I need to get a move on and try and get more than one item a day!

I'm going to go through the shed tomorrow, I had a little peek today and I think I can rid of a lot of stuff.

I agree, it's probably warm enough to but I want to wait until the ground is dry before doing so. When I've cleared some space there will be an opportunity to fill it with mor cr*p.

I got back from work early this afternoon and cleared my back garden of leaves - stacks of them had been helpfully blown into neat piles in 2 of the corners. Does that count as a declutter? The garden certainly looks a lot neater and they won't be mulching over my lawn now

No decluttering for me yesterday as it was my day to visit Mum in the care home. However, bought two half price room diffuser thingies to put away for next Christmas:eek: I have a box ready to go up in the loft marked 'Christmas 2014' and I have started a speadsheet showing my 2014 Christmas purchases.

I do ask myself why I bought a bag of 50 daffodil bulbs for £1!!!!!!!!!!

Today will be a housework day so I know there will be some decluttering as I go along.

Another day with no housework for me again today - really need to get on with the decluttering.

Doing another extra shift at the Charity Shop - please send me your 'vibes for refusing bargains' so I don't come home with anything else.

Brought home a flipping remote control dragon yesterday - for dgs3, of course .

We (me, DD16 and DS13) have decided that this will be the year we actually do get decluttered rather than just talking about it. Went into my bedroom last night to find a full bin bag on my bed. DD announced it was rubbish from her room. She may be getting the idea but obviously very slowly... :rotfl:

Does anyone else live in a house where nobody ever actually puts rubbish in the outdoor bins?

Morning ladies!

Some good vibes coming from this thread lately - we're all getting there slowly!

Only two items for me so far today:

Old diary transferred into new diary - old one binned
2013 calendar found lurking on a wall in spare room - binned

That's 20/100 challenge so far! Need to up my game!!!

A slow week for me due to work but can add

11. Old scented candles - manky ones binned, useable ones burnt to disguise cooking smells which seem to permeate the flat

Hopefully will make some head way tomorrow
