    Decluttered: 3 bits of small furniture on Freecycle, half a dozen bits of worn bedding in the recycling thing, and a disagreement with Sis who hasn't spoken to me in weeks. We spent yesterday evening just chatting and sorted it all out. I'm so much happier now.

    I'd like to join please. Already sent 2 bags of paper recycling (finished a PhD, got rid of a lot of academic junk!) to the recycling. I'm in marking hell at the moment so decluttering might have to wait a little but hoping seeing you all getting on will keep me motivated!

    Good news for me on decluttering.
    Three items sold on ebay, 2 paid for packaged and are now at the front door ready to go into the car tomorrow. (will update totals in signature tomorrow once it has gone).
    Another is a bookcase that has been sold and I've been messaged about collection so thinking that is a positive sign it will leave the house.

    I have another few items listed, all with bids on. One is a job lot of crockery so around 10 items. That has a bid on so will hopefully go through perfectly. Potentially, it is another 20 items leaving the house by the weekend.

    Second set of books is now boxed and label has arrived, that will be posted Saturday. There are 10 books in that too. Hoping to get to 300 items by the weekend. x

    The online book buyers love academic books. I have sold a fair few of them on there. x

    Silent sweep loud ticking clock returned to A’zon by dropping it off at Next and them scanning a QR code I was emailed. Already had an email to say refund processing,

    Easiest return ever.. didn’t even need to package it up!


    Project 333 going ok 6 days in. Have identified clothing that will shortly go to charity shop (as soon as a little more weight goes so I can fit in the others I already have). Will them swap my items over and donate the things I dislike anyway.
