Ooooh,lovely to see this thread is still going :j:j.

I have just looked back on this thread,and see I haven't posted since 3rd April :eek:.I did lose my mojo for about 4-6 weeks,then about 3 weeks ago I found a decluttering/sorting challenge on Facebook,so have been doing that.
Last weekend,I spent 9 hours and 45 minutes decluttering my 10 and 8yo daughters' bedroom :eek::eek::eek:.It felt so good to get done.Really pleased with that effort.
There is a corner of my front room full of stuff to be sorted for donation.I started that tonight,and hope to donate to charity shop tomorrow,then I will list it all here.
Continuing on my list from April,only a few items have left the building:
From decluttering kitchen-
761:returned a plate to a friend that had taken up residence in my kitchen since November(!)
762-3:2 jars returned to another friend

Binned:
764:jar of wallpaper paste
765:old bread flour
766:old yeast
767-768:old bags of pearl barley
769:old bag of green split peas

I'm off to the city today to sell those few things I mentioned in my previous post.

A laptop, an external hard drive, an old mobile phone, and now my bf has given me permission to sell our PS3 console and the 3 games we have for it, as long as I give him the money made from selling it(he did buy it after all)

£40 for the laptop, £10 for the old mobile phone, £1 for the 3 games. They wouldn't buy the console or the hard drive though.

Going to try and sell the console another way.

Not bad for a days work IMHO

I have just finished off the Norwegian chocolate my boyfriends mum brought back for us when she went over there a couple weeks ago - very tasty!

I will take the 2 charity shop bags when I go to work on Monday as I'm getting an earlier bus as I need to get my nan a birthday card, I need to pop into the phone shop to try and cancel a contract and do a couple other bits and bobs.

About to have dinner and then we are going to eat the last 2 cornetto's in the freezer

Like some of you here, we're not entirely sure when(sooner rather than later hopefully) but we are looking to move house also.

There are 6 of us here - my parents, me and my boyfriend and my brother and his girlfriend. It's all a bit cramped really, so ideally we would like to spread out and all get places of our own.

Any potential moving will only be possible due to whatever my granddad has left for us in his will. Well, for all we know he might not have left us anything! As I said in a previous post my dad has a meeting with the executors on the 28th so all will be revealed then...

Moving on - I know my boyfriend and I will get a place of our own eventually(as soon as he finds work) so I have started buying things for a place of our own. I'm only getting the smaller things for now.

I have 2 complete sets of bedding in 2 different but neutral colours. I have earmarked a brand new sealed pack of 4 small mugs my mum received for Christmas but she'll never use so I may as well have them.

Most if not all of the furniture I currently have in my room is either fairly new or still in very good condition so most of it will be coming with me. I will replace the mattress and the pillows and duvet though.

My parents are buying a new suite for the living room so I will have the one they have currently as I bought that for them last year.

Any appliances and any other furniture/wares I need I will buy on my littlewoods account.
