Finally did some decluttering today after having done no decluttering for several weeks. The best thing is that OH has started to be more involved with this challenge.

* OH sorted out his toiletries and recycled quite a few empty bottles

Today is a big day - the loft has been fully de-cluttered.
This means that the de-cluttering is almost done. I've been de-cluttering on and off for six years, so it takes a while. I could have done it quicker, but I sold a lot of things, so that does take time.
We still have a couple of things in the shed to get rid of, and there's a few small items I'd like to eBay, but apart from that, we are done:beer:
Of course, we'll never be fully finished, because there'll always be things that need to leave the house, so I will carry on, as and when needed.
I will continue to list things that we declutter, but there won't be heaps more now - I had hoped to get to 500 items, but that is unlikely to happen, so I've removed the 'target' element from my signature and will just keep the running total

When "bags for life" first arrived, I thought one point was that, when they got too bad to use, you could return them to the shop they came from and get a new one free of charge. Is that still the case?0 -
Not getting a lot out at the moment.
695.Borrowed shower stool returned to owner (as my back is getting better)

697. Reorganised my last kitchen cupboard - binned some OOD food stuff but I can see a big difference in my kitchen storage now.
