2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

gemmajenkins0208

Still haven't got round to taking this bag of plates to the charity shop, nor have we done any tip runs yet :rotfl:

Going to get my nails done in town first thing tomorrow morning so will drop it off then!

I think it's just been so cold and a lot of what I bought in the sales over the weekend had to be either returned or exchanged as it was all on the wrong sized hangers! :mad:

Seems that it's everyone's pay day today whereas mine was last week so hoping for some interest in my items listed on the fb selling sites now

I need the money! :rotfl:

I'm wondering what to do with a box full of assorted drinking glasses that have been hanging around the house for about five years - any ideas?

I've been mad-busy all week & had a quieter day today - so reorganised some stuff in the house - my 16 year old son had been using the dining room table as a desk (even though he has a desk in his room) - it meant that every time we wanted to sit down to eat we had to move all his stuff to another surface (I don't know how I let it go on so long).

So, while he was at school, I moved stuff around in his room, moved all of his computer & other stuff up there & rearranged things in the dining room - It looks so much clearer & organised. Nothing has left the house but it all works so much better

time to get on top of daily cleaning and decluttering as I go along now.

I've been decluttering for over two years since my husband died. My house has only half the stuff in it than it did before. I had stopped decluttering because it was looking a bit bare but you have all got me started again.
I took a bagful of stuff to the charity shop this morning and got rid of the box of glasses too. I wanted to dispose of them around five years ago but my husband wouldn't let me. They hadn't been used in all that time :-)
