Hi skint-chick. Could you take photos of the brochures & leaflets, put them on your computer and then de clutter them? That way they'll jog your memory even if can't read them. As for the mementoes maybe a little wall shelf so at least they're up out of the way?

Been gardening here all day. Tiring work but at least I've decluttered some calories
A bath after gardening feels sooooo good.

There is still so much stuff I feel like I've hardly made any progress I have so many leaflets and brochures and mementoes from trips/visits that I don't know what to do with, I didn't want to just shove them in a box and forget about them for years.

Could you do like a shadow box/memory box?
I've seen a few for tickets and toys and all sorts on pinterest

Morning

I have been in hiding as my newborn (quite rightly) tempted me off the decluttering path and I have been too busy to fight the clutter however I am back and making big changes!

So far I have cleared out my wardrobe as has my DH so we have 2 bin bags of rubbish and 3 for the charity shop. I have been keeping on top of the baby clothes and so far have given 3 bin bags to charity

Focussing on the bedroom at the moment as we are hoping to decorate however we can't see for the clutter :rotfl:

1. Thrown away some really carpy old pots and pans that I never use. I want to buy new quality ones when I get around to it.

2. Bag of stuff collected to go to CS.

3. Used up the end of a foundation bottle.

4. Threw away some plastic boxes where the lids didn't fit properly:mad: they went into the recycling bin.

5. Using up all the fridge veg to make a noodle stir fry for lunch before new groceries arrive today.

Hiya all,

we had a big clear out last week and i took it all to the carboot on Sunday. Out of a transit van full i came back with a bag of clothes and one box i was very pleased. the bag of clothes got taken to the tip for charity - The Air Ambulance my hubby does some Car Rallying with his motor club and they would be the ones that would take him to hospital if any thing happened so i am happy to help them out!

couple more bits dropped off at the tip whilst i was there

I also managed to persuade my son to sort through the big pile of cables and wires he had, so am feeling very pleased about that!

Me too, it only took me 6 months to come out of hibernation!!! Thanks to Quasar for setting me back on the right path :A

Could you take a look at this thread please - mods bound to shift it to its rightful home sooner rather than later, but when you gotta declutter, you gotta seize the day! I want it fast, and I want it cheap.

If this product on KGB deals is a false economy, please tell me! All advice gratefully received.
