Morning declutterers! Had a busy weekend jollying around York races with friends and got soaked several times but back to the decluttering.
Friday - filled two bags of rubbish to the bin along with some old shelving for the tip run today
Today - tip run with shelving and old cans of paint to be disposed of properly
Plan to work indoors today due to weather

I watched the C4 programme and agree the naked bit was a bit silly and hid the bigger message that we can all live with much less quite happily.

Have a good day everyone
Am going to start numbering the outs too

2. Kitchen drawer cleared and ancient packets of seeds, bulbs and old plugs to bin.
3. Car cleared of various cups and bottles, papers and tickets out.
