Thanks for medal Mrs SD  - was feeling despondent about how little I have to add to my list - your medal cheered me up.

Just had a baking session and made jam tarts (home made jam too), sausage rolls, cheese buns and a cheese and potato pasty so have decluttered a bag of flour from the pantry, a wrinkly potato from the veg rack and the tail end of a jar of jam from the fridge.  Little fruit buns made this morning stuck to their silicone cases so although delicious the silicone cases are being binned as we eat the cakes as they've got too old to use I think.

Broke down a wardrobe, plus threw away some (more!) old University stationery. Also tossed some utterly dead pillows, and some more general *stuff* when sorting through to pack. I've not been keeping track of how many items, but it definitely feels like a lot over the course of the past 6 months.

I ventured into the loft today. Just sorted one box and got rid of 20 unwanted cards.
I did sell my digital piano today. That's a bit of money in the bank and a huge space upstairs created x

EnergyShifter, slow & steady progress means that you will do a bit each day 😉 rather than a big burst & then nothing for weeks 😉 So keep up the good work 👏

Good work boazu 👏

Great work Foofoopuppy 👏 As you are noticing a difference, I am awarding you a Gold Star ⭐️. Are you still considering moving? or has Covid-19 put that on hold for 2020?

Wow Gem-gem, lots of decluttering & DH on board  👏 Another 2 months of decluttering so another Gold Star ⭐️ winging its way to you 👏

Good work short_bird 👏 keeping up the momentum

Hi all. 
So the Room of Doom is finished. I am so pleased.   
We decluttered some scrap wood to the allotment. it had been painted with a rainbow and attached to the entrance to welcome people. Another project completed. I am counting that as a 1 large item.
Finally, at last, and not a day too soon, I took TWO bags of stuff to the charity shop and a bag of sales to the Post Office. Total bags I think is now 31/52 and plenty more to go. 
I am just having a tidyup over the whole hosue for the rest of the week becasue DD went to her Uni flat and picked a load or stuff that need sorting (8 bags of stuff I think) We have homes for a lot of what she isn't keeping alreadys so not worrying about it.
