    A bag of card making items going to a friend who will use them
    Several old, frayed and damaged cat/dog toys binned
    A chipped glass sundae dish in recycling
    More shredding, never-ending
    More leaflets in recycling, they keep coming through the letterbox, thinking of getting a 'No Circulars' sticker for the door but it's in danger of getting a bit crowded with the 'No Cold Callers' and 'Beware of the Dogs' ones!

    Evening all,

    After putting it off all week, I finally sorted out the tinned food cupboard. Everything has been organised and itemized (DH called me a Domestic Goddess earlier :D) and any out of date jars have been emptied and recycled.

    2 jars of curry paste - which are in date, but we won't use - will be given to the local food bank.

    Also, a London A to Z has been rehomed in the craft room, for possible use on homemade cards.
    3 other road maps - CS
    Another, rather tatty A to Z - recycled.

    I've also continued the never ending mountain of shredding.

    So all in all quite a productive day.

    Wishing everyone a good weekend, whether they are celebrating Valentines or not.

    After a couple of busy weekends with no decluttering being done I am finally returning to this challenge.

    * A bag of soda crystals has been used up
    * more tea lights used up
    * A small bottle of perfurme used up
    * A bottle of handwash used up
    * Paperwork has been shredded
    * old newspapers recycled

    The plan for this weekend is to sort out the mail that has been building up over the last few months.

    :T well done to all for your decluttering achievements.

    This afternoon I have dusted. I couldn't believe the amount of dust found among the clutter on the living room table. All that clutter have now either been recycled or put away. The living room looks so much better.

    Also a couple of catalogues have gone in the recycling bin.
