day off today and I have:

• Emptied the rubbish from my car (one carrier bag full!):eek:
• Poo picked the back garden & picked up the windfall branches off the lawn
• Sorted through two charity shop bags full of hand-me-down clothes from mum's neighbours and have a nice big charity shop bag of clothes to hand on to a friend as quite a lot of it was too small for DS#1 (9).
• Decluttered two films off the Humax (and two bags of roast chicken crisps from box in kitchen.:whistle:)
• Decluttered mince from freezer and last of xmas cheeses into lasagne for tea :j
• Finally moved HWTHMBO's rucksack from his chairdrobe to the cupboard where the rest of the camping stuff lives.
• unpicked DS#2's beaver badges from his jumper and took the jumper up to cubs.
• found extra t-shirt we 'inherited' from cub camp in JULY:eek: and took it back to cubs tonight.
• decluttered cheque from cheque book for cub's subs.

got about 30 minutes before DS#2 comes back from cubs, gonna have a quick squint at some TV.

11) finished lots of bottles (dregs) of various cleaners, bottles now in the recycling bin.
12) Old candle jar and two lids (why two? not sure!)


Tomorrow's task is shredding a lot of paperwork I've cleared out.

Tidied up under the sink:

- 2 items binned
- 2 tea cosies, an apron, an ovenglove and a bag to recycling

For some reason I have over 200 metres of cling film, three different part used rolls of bin liners and four bottles of Stardrops

You can never have too much Stardrops!

I've been lurking for a while and your lists have inspired me. So much going on for me has left no time for decluttering and it's time to get a grip. I like the "one item a day" idea so I thought I'd start there... (drum roll)..
Have put 3 cardboard wine boxes in the recycling bin. Theyd been sat on my worktop taking up space for months because the 'foldiness' appeals to me, but ive suddenly had a LBM and realised I rarely buy wine and when I do its only one bottle.
Out by the bins in the dark at 4am it felt like a new start

Welcome to the declutterbugs, stellata/Magnolia - it may be one small step for a woman BUT it's a giant leap into the world of decluttering :T.

I've got my 'morning shift' at the Charity Shop today and I WILL be chanting my new mantra throughout my time there - 'I DO NOT want it; I DO NOT need it; I'm NOT taking it home with me!'

I'm off for a quick rummage to see if there's anything I can take in with me ............ I'm sure there MUST be .

Can I join please?

I am frightened that I am turning into my father! He is terrible at putting things off an piling things up in the house/work/garage that he doesn't need, and also putting jobs off! I am becoming exactly the same! The problem is mainly concentrated in the spare room at home, which is currently a complete tip. It is the place where things go to make the rest of the house look tidy!

I am going to go home for lunch today and make a bit of a start on it. I know that half an hour even would make a decent hole in it, but my problem is getting the motivation to start!

Will be back on to update on my progress!

Three bags of clothes put out for Breast Cancer yesterday, and I must have missed them, so off to charity shop today


Over 60 items gone on ebay this month, but I did to an auction and bought more, but I am sorting and binning / charity shopping as I go along as I tend to take stuff out, sell and put the rest to one side for sorting later.


Heard something related to post. OHIO - Only Handle It Once, so now sort post as soon as I get it.


It's a long slog, but I am definitely starting to look at things in different way
