    I'd like to join as well please.

    We're moving house so have made a good start, but I know there'll be more to do as we start packing and subsequently unpack. I'd rather not have to fill our house with storage furniture if we can help it! :)

    I'm in, too, please - got to get a grip on the chaos in this house once and for all!! :eek::)

    I quite fancy the 2019 things out the door in 2019, although I strongly suspect I could double that without much effort! :rotfl:

    I'm away this weekend, so will organise myself to start on New Year's Day, after our family walk.

    Thanks for starting this thread, MrsSD, it's come at just the right time for me. :)

    A xo

    I would love to join you please. Aiming for at least one bag/one item per day but hopefully more. Not getting any younger and now is the time to get our act together! Good luck everyone.

    Didn't actually throw much away yesterday but started sorting enormous pile of family photos (some of mine, some of mothers and some I had completely forgotten about in drawer under the bed) , lots of duplicates which will go and then we will select the best to keep.

    PS agree with poster above, not getting any younger and this is the time to do it! First pension arriving Monday

    Hello everyone :)

    I would like to join please :D I like the idea of 2019 things in 2019!

    My aim is to sort out 1 drawer/cupboard/shelf a day. I decided in the middle of 2018 that I needed to declutter my house, I had 1 room full of carp that was meant to be a toy room for my son. So I eventually sorted 90% of that room out and it is now a toy room but there's a few drawers in there that need decluttering.

    Yesterday I put a few bits up on FB for sale and free and got rid of a few of them (can I start my 2019 list now?) If so that would be 8 items gone! I have a bag full of toys that my son no longer plays with to either give away to my brothers little ones or sell on FB :)

    I also have a friend collecting an old vaccum later on today so that will be number 8 gone :D

    1 - 3 old air freshners that I can't use
    4 - box of straws I've had for years
    5 - 2 psarkling candle
    6 - 7 2 cups
    8- vaccum
