2015 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Iwanttosave

Hello. Doing my best to start on the de-clutter! I have enough stuff to fill a huge skip I think.....
Anyway, time to clear it out and sort it out. Stuff to sell on and stuff for charity shops, and stuff for the bin. Already filled my bin with rubbish. Makes you wonder where it all comes from. Hope you do not mind me joining your thread. You would not believe how much I have to do, and this may give me more motivation.

Afternoon All.
I'm gradually filling my next bin bag for the charity shop, few outgrown bits from DS and DD, few of my clothes that I'll not wear again and some costume jewellery I no longer like or which annoys me when I wear it. I have also filled a carrier bag of rubbish for bin or recycling, old pants, empty bottles, broken make up bits, that sort of thing.
So, my make up basket and hair product/brushes basket (I like baskets, preferably with lids to keep dust out) are both immaculately tidy and contain only stuff I need). Going to do stuff in bottom of my wardrobe in a minute. I suspect I have some party shoes which I once loved, but no longer like which can go. Also quite a lot of dust. So, it's all being pulled out, cleaned and only stuff I still like is going back.
Welcome to newcomers to the thread, wishing you much happy decluttering. And for those of you feeling overwhelmed, keep going, just one little job at a time and stand back and admire what you have achieved, while doing your best to ignore what's still to go. It will only get easier with each bag of stuff that goes and each cupboard or drawer or pile of stuff you sort.

88. Little brush that came with a lady electric razor binned as I've never used it.

89. Packaging from the flea drops for my cats and dogs into recycling.

90. Cat food sachets put away into boxes on shelf so they are hidden and the box put into recycling.

Got a few things to list. Not going to number as can get a bit OCD about it all :

Old necklace belonging to DD from years ago - CS

Old gloves/misc cloths we found which had got disgustingly dirty and stunk to high heaven behind the washing machine - not even good enough to recycle - bin

Cardboard - recycling


I've been ill for half the week but aiming to do some more gentle decluttering next week.

I have binned
3 old wash bags,
1 old tin that had gone rusty

None of the above were suitable for charity shop.

Thanks for the welcome. I am finding it daughting, to the point of not wanting to carry on. Slowly I will get there, I have promised myself to.

Just keep doing what you can as you can - there's no rush.

:T Well done to all for the decluttering you have done.

I have managed to do this:
* Shredded all credit card statements for a credit card that has now been closed.
* 3 forms have been posted
* 2 small shower gels have been used up
* 2 items have gone to the charity shop

Best of all OH has finally tidied up his office. I can see the floor! I have hoovered the room today while I can.
