    No more decluttering for me for the next week or so as I'm off on holiday tomorrow. :)

    Still in Spain - flying back tomorrow.

    Took some items to the local CS:

    324. beach cover up - don't like it
    325. Jigsaw puzzle - If I didn't do it on holiday I'm never going to do it...

    Leaving:

    326. Old beach towel
    327. Old flannel

    Must say, it's only now, 4 months on, that I am starting to notice a difference in the house. There's still a long way to go though. I think I need to get over this need in my head to sell so much. I put some things on auctions which meant they sold within a week, but for less than I would have got if I'd been patient and set a buy it now price, so I now feel guilty about that as we have a few big bills coming up and I'm feeling sick about them. Then again, I suppose if I put them on a set price there is no guarantee they would have sold in time. Gaaah, I annoy myself sometimes!

    Oh, also my husband got rid of some books and DVDs. I can't remember if I was counting his stuff on the list though, so I haven't added them. I also threw away some empty toiletry bottles that were used up, but couldn't remember what they were so they are not included. I am definitely seeing a reduction in my ridiculous toiletry stash since I stopped buying more!

    Sorted out a lot of defunct paperwork and DH had fun burning it on the BBQ this afternoon. He also de-cluttered (melted) my long, matchstick shaped lighter thing. :eek:

    Items 2 - 5.
    Four pieces of clothing that don't fit and have seen better days - into the rubbish.


    OMG, I know I have barely started this purge, but I didn't realise it was going to be so hard to be motivated to go through a whole lot of stuff, when I am trying to fit it around running a business that insists on being 7 days, even though the "plan" originally was no more than a 4 day week.
