    I went through my toiletries today as I bought some kitchen utensil trays to store them in the chest of drawers.

    I am going to throw away a couple of the old storage boxes as they were looking very grubby and they are made from material to I couldn't really clean them.

    I really have a lot of products, it's quite ridiculous. It's easier to see how much I have now it's all displayed properly.:o

    I am going to use up a face mask, the last of a cleanser to shave my legs and the last of a face serum tonight. The perfume should be used up in a couple of days.

    Taken around 50 books to the local tip's book collection bin.


    Declutting (unsubscribing) emails that I no longer have need for as soon as they pop in - should (hopefully) clean up my email.box.


    Went through my wardrobe clothes - by looking at them I thought some of them still fitted but after trying them on they didn't - boohoo.
    Also some were tossed because they weren't my style anymore.
    All in the CS bag


    Also went through DD's wardrobe - bagged up for CS

    Friday is grey & overcast but no rain so far although the window cleaner has just been so I am now expecting a downpour. DH & I have just finished the hm soup with the lo spaghetti - very tasty & very filling. DH is filling the bird feeders & I am binge watching Marvel’s Runaways as I need to clear some space on my planner.

    1502 Plastic bottle - Recycled
    1503 Old bra - Binned

    I love it A Frayed Knot but I think too much information or too many ideas are crammed into those sort of classes :p & you never get enough time to process :rotfl: I think our way is better - plenty of hints & tips in black & white & can be referred to as & when required :T. Plus we are all teachers & students in the art of decluttering :rotfl:

    See you all later
