2014 decluttering thread (part 3)

Managing a little bit of decluttering at a time here. Took a spare duvet back to my parents (where it came from!), and took a bag of CS odds and ends away. Why did I keep some of this rubbish?!
I have unfortunately managed to re-clutter some more craft stuff... mum got a new embossing/cutting machine, so I've now got her old one- I keep telling myself it'll help me use up more stuff, but as it's currently sat on the floor using up space at the moment, I'm not so sure!
And there's no excuse for all the x-stitching stuff, except that I've recently rediscovered it, after using up an old set to make a card with. And I've decluttered it all from my Nan's, rather than buying new!
It is at least still moving along. Perhaps one day sometime next year, I'll only have the things I really want and need

Haven't been on here for a long time and had been doing quite badly with my decluttering but these last few days I've been like Billy Whizz. Must be the warmth of the Sun that kick started me.
Got OH to move all the furniture in the bedroom and did a Spring clean and rehomed I don't know how many dust bunnies! Wiped everything down from picture rails to skirting boards and washed curtains and bed linen.
Took everything that wasn't in drawers or wardrobes downstairs and we're going through everything slowly but surely.
Took 5 bags to the charity shop today and I've listed some things on ebay.
Our bedroom actually looks like a hotel bedroom now, clean :rotfl:
I have a huge suitcase bursting at the seams with photographs and the childrens certificates from swimming, dance, school etc and I'm going to cull it. I've done a bit of research on how to tackle it. It was under the bed and NoThInG is going back under there!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well

Since school started again the DDs have passed on:

Set of ink stampers and an ink pad to DD2's friend
Approx 11 books to 3 of DD1's friends
2 x rubbers to DD1's friend for her rubber collection!
2 x large bags of cardboard boxes/plastic packaging/ribbon/bits and bobs the girls sorted out to pass on to the Recepetion class at school for their craft boxes
Pair of small children's knitting needles and a spare Knitting Nancy to knitting club at school

I've sorted out all my craft stuff from nappy cake etc making days. Listed loads of new bits on FB selling pages and sold 2 blankets

OH has sold a load more films on ebay all of which have been posted

On Sat we went into town and the girls have traded in a few DS games at CEX and a local games shop (and not bought any replacements yet )

This morning at 6.30am I cleared out a kitchen drawer - better than nothing! I'll be working in the office late tonight and probably won't leave London until about 10pm so I'm happy with that

Spent the day going through my paperwork file box. I can now finally close it again. Why do we always keep things just in case?

Found a few more things to go to the CS today. Also managed to get rid of 2 carrier bags full of rubbish - just from our bedroom !

I haven't done that much this weekend but have managed to:
* Sort out the receipts in my purse and shredded the receipts
* Spent 15 minutes tidying up in the garden, the garden bin is now full ready for collection next week.
* 6 x DVD's have been given away

Still doing little bits here and there...eventually I'll get there
Off work now for the bank holiday weekend so I plan to get stuck in to sort my drawers out...so to speak!
Hope everyone's doing okay.

I'm back on the decluttering wagon. I've been in my new house 6 weeks now and had a big decluttering before we moved and now decluttering now that we are here. We are now in the process of selling off stuff from old collections and hobbies. Hoping for another free listing weekend, fingers crossed.
