180 - gift of spa toiletries I'd been given but not used - reallocated to a friend who was thrilled and will enjoy them
181-189 - 9 padded envelopes used by DS to pack some of his eBay items. I've been keeping that kind of packaging in box files and I've nearly reduced them from 3 boxes down to 2! Very pleased.

It's not much, but I've spent the past 3-4 hours going through every email in my inbox/junk/auto-filed folders and either taking action where I can (I lost count of how many things I've unsubscribed from!), filing it in the appropriate folder or deleting it. I now have 6 emails instead of 500, 2 are relating to a purchase that I'm waiting for a refund for, 1 is a reminder that my library card has now expired (I just need to decide if its worth me renewing it as I've not been to the library for a long time), 1 a voucher code which can only be applied when checking out, 1 is a weekly horoscope email I receive each week, and finally one links to a blog post about going paperless which I really want to read and refer back to. My business involves a lot of paper which I can't cut back on so if I can cut down my home/personal paperwork then things will be a lot less cluttered in my office area!


I'm not even attempting to go through all the other email folders though, that's definitely a job for another day!


Not much is actually leaving the house at the moment as the bins are almost full so I'm saving the space for stuff that needs to go this week

We've had a major book sort out and we reckon we have decluttered around 1,000 books, half of which have gone to an Oxfam bookshop, and the rest will go once we have enough banana boxes!

We did start counting them, but then it all just got a bit confusing, and we lost count. I think it would distort the decluttering total so I've taken off my total the 290 books I had logged in our first trawl through books. So my new total is now 530 - which I'm still very pleased with!

Plus DH still has a list of the things evicted from his home office which I'll add to the list as soon as I can get my hands on it!
