Not much from me. Does decluttering an ex count? x

Does it make you happy?  If so then definitely, if not then things will get easier but make some time for you and be kind to yourself - have a mini pamper session.

Two tops put aside, if I can survive without them for a week or so, then they will land in the charity bag. Just a bit hesitant because I don’t want to increase washing loads because of needing tops for work 🤔 so decided a half way pile would be good.  Have also highlighted in my project 333 list, the clothes that are next to go as the weight goes. 

jar that keeps popping open (kilner  style) emptied into another container and washed ready to go back to charity.

new bag has been tested for three days, so old handbag is now definitely going. 2nd charity bag started.

Decluttering an ex definitely counts, it's what started me on this whole thing really!
sold a couple of items on fb, not had any luck with gumtree yet. Have packed up another box of clothes for the chaz, I've actually got 2 feet of clear rail in my wardrobe now. Also sorted out about 5 more items from the cupboard full of things which were to have been for the new home with now ex . I thought it would be sad doing that but actually it's just annoying. Onward and upward!

Tried a few things on face ache, no luck as yet. Can't decide whether to try to ebay or just scrap them.
I'm ashamed to admit to acquiring a second printer that I don't need from freegle as it came as part of the deal with the cartridges I did want. 
I have cleaned out one kitchen cupboard (pasta from 2011 anyone - I'm sure I've made lasagne since then!) and carried on with the paperwork.
One huge bag of shredded paper and two bags of old receipts and statements burnt.

Oh yes, I am more than happy. 
Thanks everyone. I'll count it as one item rather than double figures. x

IN more decluttering news:
1 spice out of date 2018 - Can't believe I still have some - do they breed?
one old vitamin Bs out of date 2018. 
That it is, apart from an ex who I hope is permanently gone. x

1. DO NOT PUT OFF TO TOMORROW WHAT CAN/SHOULD BE DONE TODAY

2. WRITE AND USE “TO DO LISTS”
3. LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
4. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
5. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S?

Rained solidly for most of Sunday only stopped about 5 p.m. when the wind picked up & the temperature dropped but we have been extremely fortunate as opposed to most of the U.K. No decluttering apart from hm bolognese sauce from the freezer with penne from stores. Spent the day watching TV & knitting.

Been MIA for a few weeks.
Finally took 4 bags to the charity shop at the weekend which was incredibly bad timing as Storm Dennis was not kind to the surrounding area in which I live and I could have donated them to an Action fund that has been set up as lots of people have lost everything. Ho hum.
I have been concentrating on decluttering my ebay stash - by decluttering i mean actually listing everything - and I mean everything. Don't put it to one side because it's awkward to list/not worth much/ haven't taken a photo yet/oh I'll put it on auction. Made good inroads over the past fortnight and listed about 70 items.
A new charity bag has been started with 2 items in.
