    Would love to have you. :j You can sell, donate, bin or any other means of elimination- doesn't matter how just so long as items are gone. Looking forward to hearing about the ways you come up with and how you get on.

    On the basis that I can't see my floor and my bookcase is sagging I think I'd best sign up for this challenge!

    Lol sounds like my house. Welcome :j

    I have done a little decluttering today, tried to get rid of a bit of rubbish around the house. I think January for me will mostly be throwing things out that have no use as this is the quickest thing at a stressful time for me.



    This is definitely a good reason to start the challenge!

    Sounds like a great plan and a good start. :j

    Yes please :) I need to do some serious decluttering or we're likely to make it onto the next series of 'hoarders'. Can I go in for one item a day please. I will try and do more but I'm most comfortable with just one a day.

    Thank you :)

    Welcome :j Any number to suit you is absolutely fine :j:j:j

  • I haven’t counted how much I’ve decluttered but today I’ve got rid of lots of sticker sheets with only one or 2 stickers on in my planner box, gifted a game to my niece that she loves to play and is much more suited to a 2 year old than a 31 year old - even though it was a penguin game! And used up the end of a roll of birthday wrapping paper from earlier in the year, rather than buy more.

    I’m going to count that as 3 things!

    Sounds like a fab start. Intrigued as to what the game was- I have a 5 year old who likes penguins and wondered if it was something I could get for her.

    I can’t remember the name but you have a load of hexagonal ice cubes in a frame and a penguin to balance on top. You take turns to spin the spinner and use a little plastic hammer to knock out an ice cube in the same colour as the spinner and the loser is the one who makes the penguin fall. My niece loved it on. Christmas Day. Everyone had to play a round with her!
