We were doing so well but then Real Life paid a visit and we've just stopped, and the mess levels have crept up

Anyway, I'm back, determined to get going again. Just two things kondo' this week, I'm sure there are bits of paper with lists of more things that have gone, lying around - I'll write those up when I find them, before I recycle them!

Hi - I would love to join in - would that be OK? I realise I am incredibly late but I've suddenly got an overwhelming urge to de-clutter. I read a book called "The More of Less" when I was on holiday and it's completely inspired me to reduce the number of items I own. I've been back a week and I've got rid of 134 items so far. These are mostly clothes& accessories but also a couple of pieces of furniture & some bric-a-brac, books etc. I've worked out that 7/12 of 2016 = 1176 so I would like to have that as my target. (although part of me is thinking - wouldn't it be amazing if I could hit the 2016 by the end of the year!!).

Thanks for telling me about this thread GemGem

That's ok. Welcome to the site. When I have time I have big clear out sessions, but I prefer to tackle little bits at one time. Sometimes I only do 5-10 minutes. But every little bit helps.

Found out today that my books have been accepted. £15.15 on its way to me. I got my bar code zapper out and discovered that a cookery book that I bought for £5 will be bought for £12.25! I have never had that before. So that book will be leaving my bookshelf ( I have taken a photograph of the recipes that I have used).
