    Next week have family down for Mother'S Day. Have wrapped mum's present that I got in the sale. Also wrapped brother's girlfriend present (bought in the sale) and sister's husbands birthday present ( that I bought reduced on Black Friday). Also wrote five cards ( all handmade from recycled cards, paper etc). The birthdays are not for a few weeks but I want to save on postage. Also got ready niece and nephew's Easter eggs (bogof) Of which I have selotaped £2 to each. (I always buy them a smaller egg and give them £2 each rather than a bigger egg).

    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 recycled
