2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

beautiful_ravens

Ive not done much for about 4 or 5 months due to being busy doing art [in the time I freed up by having less housework] but The Things are growing back.
So in the new year, when the xmas dust has settled, Im planning a renewed decluttering effort.

Have 3 bin bags for the charity shop, 1 carrier bag of stained/ripped/ruined clothes & old school trainers for the charity bin (weight value) and 1 bag of books for the book collection bin. All going to be dropped off tomorrow on my way to get the final xmas period food shop. Love a school holiday blitz.

I am trying to straighten the house up a bit for Christmas (it has been a bit out of control with partner decluttering his mancave :eek:,and stuff all over the house for Christmas.).I am hoping to get some stuff to charity (maybe even the tip) tomorrow.

And from the loft:

For this challenge I have decluttered 2774 items from the house,and 1171 from the loft.Total of 3945 :j.I am very pleased with this (though the house does still get messy very quickly :eek:),but I would love to reach a total of 4000 by the end of the year.Not sure if I will.
