2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

aimeemum

2 big boxes of rubbish gone to the green bin. Boxes will be taken to the tip tomorrow along with a bag of CS stuff to be dropped off and an old aquarium pump which will also go to the tip.

Now I've got to go and try to find the floor under the mess I've made 'sorting'

Oh and I've sold my boys old light projector/music box to a girl I know who's expecting. £3 to my savings pot!! :-)

Well I think my interview went ok. Keep your fingers crossed please!!!!




24) bronzer (unused, given to a friend)
25) holiday toiletries (I had loads, given to the same friend for her hospital bag)
26) a carrier bagful of foods that I right at the back of the cupboard that was extremely out of date! (you really don't want to know how out of date!!! This was stuff I bought and put on the top shelf at the back)
27) 2 carrier bagfuls of rubbish
28) 2 old magazines

We've been very busy since my last post so haven't done too much at all.

3 x bottles from bathroom used up and recycled
3 x visits to post office to post a total of approx 20 blu-rays sold
1 x large bag of recycling to school for 'junk re-modelling'
Manky old lip gloss found and binned!
Hidden stack of junk mail etc recycled
Little bits of stuff binned/recycled as found but nothing much, not even a carrier bags worth!

My mission this weekend is to sort through the stuff for selling and be ruthless. Going to get some put on the FB local selling pages, some into CS bag and some to cash4clothes bag. Anything that doesn't sell by the time the kids go back to school after half term is going to CS or C4C bags as I'm fed up of having bags/boxes hanging around in the conservatory/garage!

Arghhhhh what did we do?!

We moved hubby's desk upstairs, moved the wardrobe across the room (hence it's been emptied!) and have uncovered so much rubbish, clutter and unecessary stuff. It's a de-clutterers dream but my god, my poor house!

Have to at least get the bedroom right by bedtime.....otherwise we'll have no-where to sleep! :eek:

Space by the freezer finally sorted. Now my Hoover, washing powder etc have a home. Only problem is I have now realised I have enough room for a larder fridge, so that was an expensive declutter

Managed a couple of ebay sales this week so they are all packed and ready to go. Some more haven't sold, I'm doing 2 re-lists and if not sold by then they'll be off to the CS. I did buy a preloved cabinet on there though but it is to hide OHs clutter, I mean hobby stuff!

Other things decluttered this week:

Finished deo stick
Pair of holey socks
Shed load of old receipts
4 old magazines
2 padded envelopes, a box and some bubble wrap for sending out above ebay transactions

Still waiting to hear about my interview, please keep your fingers crossed!


OH said to me yesterday he needed deodorant/shave gel/shower gel/hair gel and I said to him what happened to all the stuff I got you at Christmas? It turns out he hadn't emptied a few gift bags and had loads of toiletries!


So added to the list is:


29) a couple of old (ripped gift bags)
30) another bag of general junk
31) a jar of hair masque that had gone off
32) packaging from OH's Christmas toiletries
