    Hello, may i join please? I am, yet again, needing a thorough declutter. My biggest issue is that i am a crafter. Trying to start a little home business just selling my wares on ebay but space needs to be found for me to work in, currently you cannot see my craft table under the mountain covering it!

    So, from experiencee, i know that groups here are very motivational for me.

    I did do a big declutter of paperwork this year. I have an external hardrive so scan and file everything onto that then shred paper. Its heavenly not having to house so many files and folders. Have obviously kept originals of all certificates etc and so, in event of emergency just need to grab one folder and hard drive! its also much easier if i have to email a document anywhere as its already loaded ready to go.

    Looking forward to reading more posts!

    Welcome Suzeesu2000, happy decluttering.
    Had a local air ambulance charity sack come through the door. Nipped around and found 3 t-shirts outgrown by DS, two pairs of shorts no longer liked (!) by DD, a game I bought ages ago for gift drawer which I can't foresee having a recipient for now and a canvas shopping bag I got free but don't like. I'll see if I can find a few more bits later, then that can go outside tomorrow for collection.
    I'm waiting for Mr Sainsbury's to deliver my shopping, can't have a second cuppa until the milk has arrived!!!

    Mainly the usual types of decluttering since my last post. However, I have made a start reducing the amount of paperwork regarding a course done many years ago.

    612-617) Bags of rubbish to bin (for collection).
    618-621) Bags of recycling to bin (for collection).
    622-627) Weeding sessions (composted).
    628-632) Buckets of weeds (as above).
    633-634) Glass jars from a big bag of containers in the store room (used for a perishable "milk" substitute to the freezer).
    635-653) Food recipes (had).
    654-657) Single food products (had).
    658-735) Computer bookmarks (deleted).
