    Is anyone else getting a little glow of pride when they look around at the decluttered spaces.

    I'm ridiculously pleased that all my stationery is all in one place.

    Sad, I know. :o
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Afternoon everyone :hello:
    Charity collection came around this morning and lifted 1 bin bag of donations and 2 smaller bags :T Delighted. I'm now planning on going out to the back yard, plus downstairs bathroom and kitchen and having a clear out today.

    I have 2 more bags to go to the Charity Shop. But I've to wait for my friend to come and collect it, as it's for her own charity shop. And I only send certain things to there. More Expensive clothing etc.

    Hello to a fellow member of SABLE, I have enough wool, cross stitches and books accumulated to keep me in "me time" far beyond my life expectancy. If I'm to use up all my crafting goodies before I go I think St Peter will be knocking on for me in about 87 years time. :rotfl:

    Me and DH have just spent 2 hours in the spare room he had a large stash of old work related folders and manuals and a big pile of several years worth of fitness mags. We now have 19 recycling bags on the front ready to go and a black bag of old empty files that are going back to work! That is a major bit of decluttering.
    I think if we'd have stacked the paperwork up it would easily have been a 4ft high pile, it weighed a ton.
