  • So,today is the end of a week that I took off especially to declutter my loft.I am very pleased with how much space I have made.I gave away two items (handbags) to 2 friends.Everything else was either donated to charity,or taken to the tip.
    I still have alot of work to do-still got boxes and boxes to sort through.Lots of sentimental stuff to sort through,still need to sort and declutter Christmas decorations,kid's artwork,photos,keepsakes,more toys,etc.
    I was out with friends for most of the afternoon,but did get about 1.5 hours in the loft tonight.I was trying to tidy it up a bit after the wek.But a couple of items did leave:
    524-525:2 handbags,never used (unwanted gifts :o),given to friends
    526-528:3 boxes which had contained games.The boxes will never be used again,so no point keeping
