16/52 - a tidy out of a section of my kitchen resulted in a bit less than I'd hoped to get out but looks a LOT better! A few small broken bits binned and a few paper bits recycled but mostly a tidy and items returned to their rightful places (plus a half empty box of chocs donated to work and a banana loaf made with 2 over ripe bananas and ood toffee).

We are also taking bags out and litter-picking while dog-walking - 22 carrier bags so far this year. Daughter has picked up 2 binbags of rubbish at a local beauty spot to support a local initiative, which will count towards a Guide badge. It's not just the house which is being decluttered .

Bon soiree

Have filled half a wheelie bin of recycling, sold a Travel game & a stone garden statue & a gas cooker which will be collected when we leave :T as we are still using it :rotfl:
So

F408 - F410 Items SOLD
Also & this is a real biggie DH persuaded DSis to reduce the prices on the furniture in the gite. The new owners to be are therefore buying 2 double beds & 2 single beds, 4 wardrobes, 2 chest of drawers & 4 bedside cabinets + pool chemicals & cleaning equipment so

F411 - F426 ITEMS SOLD

So we will continue decluttering. DSis is still being brutal with her decluttering & today DH & I both admitted that we both thought she would find it more difficult as she is very sentimental & then told her how proud we both are of her :T:j:T:)

I'm up to 470 now with these two items.:j

1 Nail cream finally UU
1 Leave in hair conditioner finally UU

Looks like you and your family are making real good progress in France Mrs Salad Dodger. Has all the clearing out got to be done by a certain date?. If so will that be achievable now you have made so much progress?. Hope so because you all seem to have worked so hard sorting through everything.:)
