  • Hi,
    Today I decluttered my craft stuff and got it to only take up one shelf, and I was left with loads of empty and useful plastic containers. I think I might use them to divide up drawers next week, because thats it for indoor de-cluttering this week - its the weekend! So, tomorrow it will be a quick visit to the library and the bank, a good hike with the dog [in the cold], and I must clean out and tidy my car and sort out the chicken house. Then I have work on sunday - brrr.
    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hiya

    Been full on here this week so my decluttering has been sporadic but still managed my 10 per day even if i did 3 lots on one day lol

    Day 11. 10 misc items from top sideboard drawer
    Day 12. 10 items of gibble messy drawer in kitchen
    Day 13. As above
    Day 14. As above

    Doing 15 and 16 today, loaded with an awful cold so not feeling it, but as kitchen messy drawer is noticeably clearer ill potter on with that. Did 2 tip runs this week with extra bin bags and junk out of the shed so im pleased with the progress.

    Keep it Up gals xx
