Sorry to hear of your mum's passing, May she rest in peace Rossi x

I'm off been going through cupboards, already thrown bin bag of rubbish and half full second bag!

Onwards and upwards

Hi everyone

Well today was the day we were cleaning eldest boy's bedroom and there was only one bag of rubbish and not much to get rid of. He's quite a tidy child really and doesn't hoard stuff thankfully

Also traded some more old DVD's and videos in and made another £53.53p for our "new games console fund"... bringing the total to £146.53 We have just under £40 to go to reach our goal and have also gotten rid of a lot of unused games/dvd's in the process. Win Win!

Logging 2 declutters for today for the above

Sorry to hear that your mum has passed away Rossi - sending hugs and condolences. I've got my Grandma's funeral tomorrow, so understand the emotional rollercoaster xxx

I think I might be on a bit of a roll - may need to adjust my target at some point!


12-15: 4 x old kids' DVDs - CS
16: old sweets tin I'd been using as a cake tin. Definitely past its best - recycling.


I've got 5 items on Ebay ending today. 4 have been bid on, so I'll be listing those tomorrow when I post them. That'll be 5 items sold and about £60 going into my decorating fund after deduction of fees! :j


DizzyImp - I know what you mean about the risk of "reallocating" gifts to the original giver. Fortunately this one is going to someone who couldn't possibly have given it to me, so I can relax


I'm really enjoying the bit by bit decluttering. I've just spent twenty minutes matching video games to their boxes and manuals (not mine, I hasten to add!). It's made more space in the spare room and I've found a couple more to list on Ebay. Slow and steady appears to be winning the race. I'm going to visit m'chap at the weekend to start decluttering his flat before he moves up here. That's going to be a task and a half! :eek:I predict many trips to the tip and CS

So sorry for your loss Rossi4658.

Decluttered book shelves yesterday. One bag of books that my LG has grown out of to my friends baby. A bag to the Local Air Ambulance charity, and a Bin Bag full of old paperwork and magazines into recycling.

Got rid of one of the dogs beds today and made £20 so very good news!

Cleared out bathroom cabinets due to a leak and found loads of unused or discarded toiletries
I did not know (until I thought what a waste to throw away ) that women's refuges in the UK need toiletries and essentials to be donated.
They accept partially used make up and toiletries except for mascara

A bit ashamed about stuff I might have thrown away in the past so I am making up a parcel.

IMO there is no need to be ashamed! But good for you :T I experienced DV, but was lucky enough not to need to use a refuge. But I know so many people who have done, and I know that little things like that make all the difference at such a difficult time.

I managed to do a quick clean of the cupboard under the sink and tossed a few items into the bin. I have 4 things to take to the CS tomorrow. Every little helps!
