    Back from holiday so not much decluttering in the past 2 weeks. However after binge watching Selling Homes with Amanda Lamb have been inspired to sort things out before selling house.

    18-33 Toiletries
    34-35 Cafetieres
    36-40 Shoes
    41-45 Books.

    Oh I love that show and just binge watched the last 3 episodes last night too. Doing some decorating and looking for inspiration.

    Anyhoo

    545. Box recycled
    546-547. Micro filters donated
    548-560. Bf sent off with a car full of his accumulated junk from my flat. He has slowly been trying to hoard out my place as his in now full. My foot has been put down :p

    562-570. Christmas gifts stored here ( for his family) have been taken to bfs so he can use the space for his hobbies at mine.

    I've woken up in a de-cluttering frame of mind. I've taken a huge bag of stuff to charity shop, have moved things around and have identified the following things to go next time round.

    384 & 5 2 x framed print - CS
    386. Decorative bowl - gift
    387. print - gift
    388. framed print - CS

    So this is me getting rid of some of the "good" stuff. The decorative bowl was a wedding present and it's gorgeous and was expensive but it's huge - much too big for my little house. I think this is one I will take a photo of before it goes though.....
