2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

42) 2015 (!) Diary - binned

I had used this a lot. At the time I had one paid job and at least four voluntary jobs so it was essential. I did find a name in the back of it that might come in useful but rather than keeping the diary or ripping the page out 'just' in case' I took a photo of the page on my phone.

I have a bag of clothes and a box of odds and ends ready to go to the charity shop, hopefully today.

noelphobic, i'v just noticed on the bottom of your post about the weight loss, there is a very supportive old style weight loss thread if your interested?

4 dress patterns and a Jumper for Cs started to sort out hobby corner yesterday have binned some rubbish and put a table top easel out for CS. I will continue with this today. Took the CDs and clothes to a CS on way to train station yesterday but really need to get a move on today.

My weight loss has pretty much stalled this year and I'm currently struggling to keep it off. Will look for the thread though.

Losing weight has added to my clutter problem. Although I've got rid of lots of clothes I've possibly bought even more!

68-78) out of date/no longer needed credit card, library tickets, business cards etc

In bin - not freeing up much space but less 'stuff' to sift through when I'm looking for something. The library card was replaced months ago as I couldn't find it and I'd been using my old Co-op card as I'd lost the new one.

I'm also trying to declutter my emails by unsubscribing to some lists.

79) mat

Put in bin. This was supposed to live just inside the kitchen door that leads into the garden. For some reason I had put it outside ages ago and it was ruined. I bought a new one a while ago so will put that down when I've cleaned the floor.
