    Whoo hoo - made it to 1000. I've only been doing this since June so I'm not too behind target for the full 2016 by end of the year. :T

    ermmm - I've just calculated that thats roughly 66 items a week until the end of the year :eek:

    Attempting to keep up the momentum required for me to hit target:

    1001. Broken brooch - bin
    1002. dead hairbrush - bin
    1003. dead insoles - bin
    1004. pen refill to friend
    1005 - 1007 - 3 X tops with tears - textile recycling
    1008 - teeth whitening kit - bin
    1009 - pedicure stuff - bin
    1010 & 11 - 2 x dead micro-bead pillows - bin

    Isn't it funny what things are hard to part with? Those micro-bead pillows were in really bad condition but I found it hard to get rid of them as they smelled of Summer (I used them when lying around in the garden) ...

  • 030/031 - Two holey pairs of pants BINNED.

    Most of my de-cluttering in the last few days has been pairs of items. Hopefully this means I will reach my target in half the time! :rotfl:

    I have 83 items to get rid of to reach my target of 114, and 102 days to do it in! Over a quarter of the way to my target thou!
