199 - 208 10 coat hangers

209 - 214 assorted plastic storage boxes and tupperware

215- 224 another storage box with clothes and toiletries for DD1 most of hers (which I'm not counting) but passing some on and counting those that keep reappearing including some of the socks!

Happy decluttering !

168 -            soft toy 
169 -            shoes
170 -            humungous bundle of papers - training notes 
171 - 173 -  training manuals

Feel really pleased to have got rid of that paper-work - a lot of it was stuff that I'd thought about getting rid of several times but kept putting them back "just in case!"

174.   dead storage bag - bin
Dropped off donations to CS (items already counted)

Spoken to DS2 and more has bee n taken to rip from his room so here is more.

320 a broken chair
321-323 school and University files etc he no longer wants. Counted as 3 as was for school and 2 degrees or part of at Uniy.
324-327 old golf clubs
328-337 various toys that were in the bottom of his cupboard.
338-341 rugby boots
342-343 hockey sticks
344 old tennis racquet
345-346 at least a couple of bags of rubbish.

That is probably all DS1 and DS2 will do now until they decide to leave home but their rooms are tidy and clutter free at the moment with no effort from me which is great.

Hello all, I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks enjoying real life and decluttering lots of money. Got back from a weekend away last night and wrote a big post, but then lost it! I’m not liking this new forum at all. Is there a way to go back to getting daily or weekly updates? I’m not liking what they’ve done with the thanks button either and you can’t read badges. It doesn’t look like a change for the better so far.

 

Not too much has been decluttered from the radio house.

In addition to my everyday household recycling, the following have gone:

 

62. Love Hearts Handwash UU and recycled
63. The Tub Shampoo 30ml
64. Disney Shampoo 37ml, both combined in larger shampoo bottle

65. Final box of Thornton’s chocs from my stash to DH for his birthday- I very generously helped him eat them 

66. Finished roll of birthday paper wrapping DH presents

67. Pair of OHs socks with holes-thrown away

68. Packaging for bath bomb set-recycled

69. Dr. Organic Aloe Vera Micellar Water (75ml) UU & R

70. Sleeptherapy Goodnight pillow mist (125 ml) UU & R

71. Systane eye drops UU & R

72. Small plastic tub that had a Body shop sample in it-recycled.

73.. Light rose wine-had been lying around in the house for ages, so took it away at the weekend to make sure we drank it.

74. Charging cable was binned-some wires had become exposed

Total so far 74/366.

Aiming to get to 100 before the end of February.

Hi stellata, do you know where your daughter needs the budgeting help? Is she simply not making enough money, paying to much for housing, or just has problems planning? If it's the latter, helping her out may not be the best way for her to learn. Learning to budget can be really tough, but it can also be a time to unleash creativity, flexibility and an appreciation of life's real needs (and an appreciation of the luxuries).
