2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Hi all
Well I've finally finished the photo declutter. Now there's only one box instead of two and I still have the same amount of albums, but they are now only half full which I must remedy :j. I think if I fill the albums there will only be enough loose ones for a small box...... I hope :T. So I now need to sort the photos as my great grandfather's photo is mixed in with my DD's baby photos. I will leave that job for another day as I'm fed up of looking at the same old faces :rotfl:.
When I put them back in the cupboard I released into the wild, 2 bibles, 1 poetry book, 2 crystal glasses ( still boxed ) 3 kids videos, my keys from my 18th birthday ( an eon ago
), another empty tin, a Ferrero Rocher box and a watch box, both minus their contents :eek:. Some items only good for binning and the rest for the cs.
Also into the recycling box, many empty photo envelopes, 2 caravan magazines and several leaflets that have been put through the door .
I had a cs bag put through the door this morning and found another bag from the same cs, so I have filled both of them. They are ready to go out on Monday. I am left with some clothes...... ok a lot of clothes and some bits and pieces which I will keep adding to. Saves me the job of trying to get them collected, for now anyway.
I shall reward myself with a soak in a bubble bath later and there's a small bag of chocs to declutter tonight
. I feel really pleased with myself today, but I still have a way to go.
Happy decluttering all.Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently0 -

Downshifterella - Thankyou the luck is definitely needed with the desk >.<

It has been an extremely productive (destructive?) day.
My 'room of doom' has been used as a dumping ground/ store room for over five years. Clutter, cobwebs, dust and dead flies. _pale_
Today I discovered that some of the clutter was blocking the sliding door. Ended up taking six really heavy bagfuls to the communal recycling bins: paperwork and magazines, both up to ten years old!
As Mrs Salad Dodger says, shame I am not decluttering by weight.
