I will jump back in with this as I still have stuff to sell and donate, but I'm combining decluttering with an ever increasing Uni workload. Planning on doing a car boot sale in April, so spare room has various boxes of stuff I've collected together for that. So, since January the following have left:
1. Car (sold for spares or repair - counts as clutter as was having to borrow a neighbour's car park space until sold)
2. Spare wheel - went with sold car (was in garden as it had two spare wheels)
3. Original cassette radio - went with sold car (was in loft as had a CD player in there instead)
4. Paperwork for sold car
5. Keyring I forgot to take off key for sold car
6. Dress sold and posted
7. Magazine sold and posted
8. Book sold and posted
9. Moisturiser to sister
10. Cardboard to recycling point
11. Carrier bag full of papers with personal details on, to parents who will burn it on their fire for me
12. Broken china toothbrush holder, wrapped in newspaper and binned
13. Tetrapak cartons to the local recycling point as I've switched to non dairy milk and tetrapaks aren't collected via kerbside recycling
14. Magazine recycled
15. Old Christmas and birthday cards recycled
16. Old receipts/papers/leaflets recycled0
