CAFCGirl

Another 30 items added to the CS donation bag.
An entire shelf on the bookcase cleared as a freecycler is coming for backdated issues of Nat Geo in a couple of hours..... CD's and books done (mine at least) and just a handful being kept.

Another successful weekend on the decluttering front:
33-36: dead inhalers taken to pharmacy for disposal
37: Christmas Radio Times (think last year's lasted until Easter!)
38-47: Medium/large items to dump
48-51: old mobile phone/tablet boxes, kept "just in case" - the contents are long gone to the phone shop in the sky
52: toiletry set given to me at Christmas 2017. Box recycled, toiletries in stash for using.

Still in first week of January, so on top of the 40 items a week (so far).

7 under bed storage bag to bin as musty and dusty
8 pile of very old used Christmas wrapping paper to bin
9 pile of plastic bags for CS .

I was under the furniture this morning, first under the bed and then when I tried to put back the tray of shoeboxes (with Shoes ) I discovered 8 and 9 wedged at the back underneath the chest of drawers. This stuff had got pushed out earlier sometime and I had never noticed!! Floor all dusted and shoes in boxes and I'm a happy declutterer.

Scarlet Ribbons - I am going to adopt your approach to CS purchases. I buy stuff thinking it is so cheap and if the item is no good to me then I say ---well I'm helping a charity.I will think more carefully in the CS and put money saved from non purchases into an imaginary jar.

I’m not sure if this is the correct thread, but does anyone happen to know where I can buy cheap clear plastic shoe boxes? I have decluttered what I can but there is really no point in having my ‘going out’ shoes on the shoe rack :rotfl:

Beshki try Am*zon- 20/22 pack clear plastic boxes for £13 to £22.

I've got 4 books to go, a broken board and a things to do board to go as well. Went though the dogs toys and got rid of 4 toys that are broken and won't be used again.
