2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

Hi fellow declutterers

Knit Witch & Ginmonster thank you - encouragement is always appreciated. I love reading other posters lists & there are other threads where people appear to have decluttered & their cleaning regime is sooo much easier. That is what I aspire to :rotfl: My only sadness is that I will get to the point where I have nothing much to donate to the cs but not there yet

retiredinfrance - I quite like ironing but do dislike ironing fussy clothes - no matter how careful you are it always looks like you have not ironed properly

DH is fully on board but forgets to let me know what he has binned, recycled etc :rotfl:

B52 DH - Large bag of office rubbish binned
B53 Set of Authentication Certificates for Model Cars previously donated to cs - taken to cs
B54 - B55 Personal correspondence SHREDDED
B56 - B59 DH - Old light fitting, light switch, socket cover & fire alarm to Tip
B60 Shoe box filled with Easter Eggs - wrapped & posted to DSis

Keep up the good work everyone.

Well done to everyone. This decluttering malarkey is certainly quite addictive once you get going off the starting block.

I bought 5 Denby "Daybreak" plates, 5 side plates, 3 larger side plates and 5 desert bowls from a carboot sale last summer. I paid £8 which was a bargain. I liked the set so much I decided this year when able to go carbooting I would be on the look out to add to the collection I now have. Well this week I couldn't believe my luck when I saw a huge bundle for sale on e*ay by a hospice charity. This lot had a gravy boat, salt & pepper pots, casserole dish, flan dish, fruit bowl and much more. I bid and was the lucky one to bid the highest. I paid on Weds evening and it arrived on Fri morning. It was like opening Pandora's box, well 2 boxes actually. So not only have I completed the set I have spares too now. So guess who did a massive declutter of their kitchen yesterday, yes ME . So here goes!

4 small bowls CS
2 large bowls CS
2 small olive thingy bowls CS
1 pottery dish CS
1 olive dish CS
1 glass flan dish CS
2 other dishes CS
1 sugar bowl with lid CS
1 other pot CS
1 vase CS
2 new ice cube trays CS
I serving dish CS
2 rubber oven shelf heat protectors CS
1 pack of 6 hen coasters CS
1 tatty wicker tray STOVE
1 swan ornament gifted to me they thought it was a duck CS
1 broken android charging cable BIN
1 small vase CS
1 used up reed diffuser REC
1 roller ball perfume UU
1 metal CD tray thingy Metal recycling

That all from me for now but I am still decluttering so there will be more.

Well I took the silk blouse in today, very carefully, as I ironed it specially and one of the girls said she was so pleased I had brought in some books as stocks were running low. so, as soon as I got back I filled my bag up again.. I felt really really good .

138-158 pile of books stacked for CS to deliver next Sat.

Keep at it , everyone.... sometimes we speed up and sometimes life takes over.

back in my dressing table......
159 one empty cardboard box to recycling bag
160 another empty mascara to bin
161 -162 two small empty sample pots
163 holey flannel to recycling
164-168 more books for CS
169 pile of old envelopes to recycling
170 belt for CS
I'm on a mission with the books and have a pile ready for DH's opinion. I must also get under the sink again I think there are too many glass jars in there!

Frogletina

144-145 phonebooks
146-147 cards
148-149 newspapers
150-157 magazines
158-250 leaflets/papers
251 gloves

I have 9 boxes of maps, guidebooks and leaflets but I am finding it difficult to get rid of many of these. So, I will revisit from time to time. Meanwhile they are neatly filed and easy to access. Someone I know is interested in maps so I may pass on ones that I am unlikely to use again.

Well done Frogletina. You have given me another idea of places to declutter.
