Back again! assault on bathroom was successful. Fully cleaned - walls, tiles, woodwork, floor, sink, bath & loo. Cabinet & shelves sorted - have plenty of soap, shampoo & bath/shower gels.
Will need loo roll, deodorant & toothpaste but not until next week at the earliest.
147 Broken electric toothbrush binned
148 Metal corner unit going to recycling centre
The only thing left to do in the bathroom is a job for DH - finishing up the bath panel refitting.

Oh! Not really decluttering, but I also sorted out some toys to give to my son's grandparents to keep there (at their request), so more space in my houseand put away all his outgrown baby toys to go in the loft along with some clothes and bibs - so a more clutter-free living space, at least! (If a more cluttered loft
)

I plan this weekend, to tackle food cupboards, bathroom cupboard - large walk in affair that just attracts clutter - and office/study. Think I may have given myself too much to do and that RL might conspire and get in the way.........but anyway here goes......:DBe the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

Hi,
Hoping to join in with a very realistic goal! I'd like to set myself the challenge of getting rid of 1 thing per week! But it's the awkward lying around FOREVER items I want to work on so that will still be an achievement for me. This is also the first MSE thread I've joined so hope I've done it right and that others will be king.
First on my list is an old replaced smoke detector which needs to go in a WEEE bin?! Been lying on the kitchen counter for nearly a year.0
