Braved DS2's bedroom and collected 3 bags of rubbish off the floor and cabinets - empty water bottles,soft drinks cans and other assorted junk.Sorting through it now to see what can be recycled,binned or rehomed.

Well done, Elasticmoney:T

You work so hard decluttering for your whole family. It looks as if DS2 had mountains of stuff to throw out:eek:. Is he old enough yet to be able to help a bit by tidying up after himself?

Just been through another file of old papers and ran a load through the shredder.
DD2 took 6 Disney Cds with her.
A feather boa was added to the bag for the arts props box and has been taken to school

One pair of Aldi walking shoes - replaced with a pair of Nike Air trainers £5.99 from Oxfam

One bottle of conditioner - Food Bank for Saturday morning

One bottle of shampoo - Ditto

One bottle of 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner - Ditto

Two bottles of shower gel - Ditto

Two bottles of mens deodorant/antiperspirant - Ditto

The rubbish and recycling went out yesterday with extra bags of rubbish from a general clean up of the back yard.

There's tons still to do out there, but bad weather and a 'small glitch' means someone from the council has to come out and inspect the problems tomorrow.

A very busy decluttering day.I am not happy with the amount of "little messes" I have made around the house,but am still very pleased with the state of the bedrooms (completed the third and final bedroom today :j:j:j).

In 12yo daughter's room I had stored a couple of boxes/bags of toys to be sorted: it was all going,but it was all toys I wanted to check the condition of/all pieces present before donating,or photograph before selling.Some boxes I opened and they only contained scraps of,eg,drawing set,so it was binned.

I will list stuff for charity when it finally goes to the shop (made it as far as the boot of the car so far ),but binned or recycled rubbish out of the house today:
825:old,flimsy domino run cardboard frames recycled(had been in the loft for yearsssssssssssss)
826:associated domino run plastic bits binned
827: kid's cheap braceletbinned
828: foam mosaic kit leftovers/packaging binned/recycled
829: Tubie puzzle,broken,binned
830: empty box
831:small doll's change mat
832: kid's broken necklace
833: Dora the Explorer colouring book
834:small wooden toy
835:expand-in-water-dinosaur.

Also in DD's room was a bedside cabinet intended for son's room,but first I wanted to empty the drawers of my stuff.Well,that is a day's work on it's own :eek:.Just picking around in it for 10 miutes today I got rid of
836:a bottle of perfume that must be 12 years old!Binned
837: a bottle of arnica tablets that I know was bought 13 years ago,and had an expiry date of Nov 2004 :eek:.
I also found 6 £1 coins,so put them in my sealed pot :j
838:the tiny dominos that came with above-mentioned domino run, I gave to DD's teacher to use in classroom (they were all lovely bright colours-will probably be used for counting/sorting etc)

839: yesterday I took a bag of make-and-do stuff to the school

I am thrilled to finally have finished the last bedroom: bags of stuff put in either the car boot to go to charity,or in built-in cupboard in box room (3rd bedroom).Son's bedside table moved to his room,DD's room vacuumed.

All bedrooms look beautiful.
But I have let the rest of the house slide this week.
Too many little messes lying around .

Well done everyone some brilliant decluttering being done by all.

Today a big carrier bag of pre usd Jiffy bags should be leaving the house to someone from freecycle.
not Sure what else I have planned but would like a bit more to go.
