I haven't done any decluttering this weekend but I watched a couple of decluttering for the New Year YouTube videos yesterday and it made me inspired.:T

Well done! :A

We paid off ours two years ago and it is a great feeling!

I also went through the fridge and decluttered the left over veg, and the cupboards for tins (chopped tomato, beans,and dried lentils) and purchased a few reduced veg from the co-op as well as full priced mushrooms and made soup in the small slow cooker and and lentil spag bol in the big slow cooker to restock the freezer.

I'm making lentil spag bol later too.:) That reminds me that I have half a bag of mixed peppers in the freezer that I can add to the sauce.

Finally managed to shift the fatigue long enough to start first decluttering session of the year.

16 items including paperwork, used up ood food and old wifi router

15 old emails

Thank you to everyone for posting. Whilst I was too worn out to physically do anything, my motivation was kept up by reading the thread and hearing of all your successes.

Not really clutter as such, but on Friday I finally managed to plant twenty-three lavenders purchased from our local Wyevale before they were taken over (£15 down to £3 each ). They've been hanging around the garden in their pots since the autumn and I've been meaning to get them in the ground before it became really frosty so my timing was perfect. That bed looks seriously tidier now so it felt like decluttering, lol!

Also, one large garden parasol with rotten/torn fabric in the pile to go to the tip.

A barely used Brabantia rotary washing line that I detest as its operating mechanism is rubbish [STRIKE]and which has already been replaced by a traditional washing line[/STRIKE] will be going on faceache selling group.

Another two bin bag sized bags of old bathroom and tile brochures/newspapers/magazines to be recycled.

A pair of wall-mounted mirrored candle sconces added to the fleamarket pile.

Afternoon all

Trip to the tip on Saturday to put items in the Textile bank.Broken light bulbs in the correct bin and batteries likewise.It feels good separating this waste and it all now going to the correct places to be recycled rather than straight into landfill.:j
Currently decanting spices/herbs etc to try and be rid of excess packaging .
And lastly im using oddments of wool to knit pouches for Australia so a win win

Decluttered some blood to the diabetic clinic this morning. Although I'm technically a diabetic at the moment, my doctor likes to keep an eye on it - which I'm happy about too.

My eldest grandson (his parents are from Cameroon, but Odi, the mother, is so like me we class her as my daughter from a different mother) was born in this country, but was registered as non-British. He's 11 now and has just got his British citizenship - his sister and brother will follow when they are old enough - and his parents have saved up the £1500 for each. We're off to see them in Liverpool this next weekend so will declutter a lot of stuff to them.

We were given 20 black bags of books after a friend's mother died. Most of the books are pretty woo-woo. DH has read/is reading a lot of books about past lives/channeling. We sent books to my stepdaughter on tarot and mediumship, i-ching etc. - and will be taking another 4 black bags worth to her in February. We took 10 carrier bags worth to the charity shop - mainly novels. We're stuck on what to do with ones on Astrology and astrology, palm reading and the magicality of snakes in India - which is what she did her thesis for her Phd on.

Also decluttered several small pots of ice cream, a fridge full of vegetables - curry and soup - excess roasted cabbage and cauliflower sliced and put in freezer.
7 pots of nail varnish that I no longer use.
2 cuddly toys
2 empty 2.5 litre bird peanut butter tubs recycled - boy can they get through it.
60 sheets paper - mainly old recipes

Ailz95 go on the spiritual/ faith healing pages of Faceache, lot's of us sell such books on there as someone is always adding another skill to what we already do.

39 - 40 - 2 new but not new now mini bulbs for the above lamp- bin
41 - 44 4 pillows in the bin but I purchased 2 more so minus 2

Evening all,


19 Items out yesterday and 20 today. Starting to scrabble through the drawers and cupboards for odds and ends.
Think I might take a look through my wardrobe tomorrow. All my clothes are squeezed in, so it could do with lightening.
