2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Saver-upper

Last weekend I asked my partner of I could declutter and tidy his wardrobe of clothes.I don't usually touch any of his items (he is a hoarder),but I hand the fingers for sorting through clothes,and I knEw it would add to my numbers for this challenge ��.He was a bit hesitant,but agreed.After about 20 minutes I asked him if he would come and have a look at a few clothes with me,to see if they fitted etc.Two hours later,he had helped me decide what he wants to keep,and what I could get rid of ��.Nobody needs 19 yo underwear ��.

Am a bit ashamed to say I have sorted out 12 (yes 12) handbags of various sizes and 1 breifcase style and 1 real ladies briefcase. All ready for CS now. Still have 3 on the go regularly, ridiculous. Also a couple of purses, some still had a couple of £'s in. Disgusting.
On the plus side, I asked dgs to get my electric drill (never used by me) down off high shelf. I charged the battery up and managed to drill holes in bottom of plastic pots for planting instead of either throwing out or buying new without throwing out old which I would normally do.

All my CS donations are still in the "room of doom" in bags & boxes, except for the large furniture However, happy that a large amount has been sorted through :j and awaiting uplift - whenever that might be

And still feeling the great benefit and joys of my kitchen declutter, so much easier to keep on top of everything, just cleared out my fridge - again - I must stop buying so much, or instead of wasting - freezing
Getting there, slowly . . . :beer:

Hello everyone



cheapsake - sending hugs


De cluttered some more of DS bits to my nephew - some cot bet duvet covers and a cot bet duvet and pair of shoes. That's given me more space in the airing cupboard.


Made DS teddies a lot neater in his bedroom by putting them in the empty ottoman that I found loads of bits in. Still need to list them on FB. Hoping if I leave them out in the open they will annoy me enough to list them on there haha.


Took a couple of purple hair dyes back to B&M and swapped for a brown (bought ages ago, didn't have receipt and they exchanged for me luckily) so that saved me some pennies! The brown will be a lot easier to keep up as the purple needed doing all the time and I am lazy haha. My natural colour is brown but I have some greys creeping in!!

Signing off now for a few days as decluttering ourselves to a cruise ship next weekend and babysitting our grandson tonight whilst Mum, Dad and Grandad are watching the Marvel film at the cinema.

I've just come back from that film, flipping depressing! Anyway managed to sneakily declutter a spare pair of 3D glasses onto the random man off the internet that I went with :rotfl::rotfl:

Evening all ! ( that always sounds like Dixon of Dock Green )
I decided to declutter the chest freezer yesterday so we had HM curry and rice for tea and then I also made today's lunch out of there. We had some pork steaks and lots of bits of "ends of packets" of veg. I now have a bit of room in there instead of trying to shoehorn stuff inside :eek:.

DH decided to do his bit of decluttering too..........by knocking a glass off the kitchen worktop onto the floor and it shattering to smithereens :mad:.
Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment and some shopping to do, so my purse will also have a good decluttering .
Keep up the good work fellow declutterers :A

Thanks Savvy for that laugh. Your post nearly made me spill my tea all over my laptop :rotfl:.

Well today I finally dropped off a couple of CS bags I have been meaning to send for a while, but I added a couple of extra items in before doing so.
Also, last night I tidied DS teenagers room of doom and came out with one bag of recycling stuff and half bin bag of sweet wrappers, crisp packets etc.

(((Hugs))) :A

I started counting charity shop donations only once they left the flat, because some were in my 'Hall of Shame' for months. I think the most important things are that we appreciate their removal from the 'home' parts of where we live, and that we do not rescue a series of items earmarked for permanent decluttering.

IMO you are getting there, definitely. :beer:
