16 books are at the recycling centre. That has made my total 462 so far this year.

I plan on doing the shoe bit tomorrow, as well as start looking under the bed. I hate under the bed so actually opening it and starting will be a big deal. I hope I do get under it. x

185-188 more shredding done. Not sure where it all comes from as not finished shredding yet.
189-194 old files and stuff.

I'm slowly getting to the stage where I can open a few cupboards and it looks organized.

Two more bags to the charity shop today, 6 down 46 to go..

Also declutered some receipts and have shredded them and have started working on the post mountain that collapsed this evening under its own weight 😳 I’ve started to make sure that we now open post as it arrives but the backlog stretches back to August, I think, although I’m worried I might find something older !

It’s DS’s birthday tomorrow so I’m bracing myself for an influx of plastic crap and working out ways to get rid of it already !

I've not done much this week (cupboard and drawer of doom are still pending), but I did get some shredding done and put out for recycling collection on Wednesday, also took some out of date meds to the chemist. Hoping to get some decluttering done over the weekend, and I must remember to take the used batteries into work on Monday to put in the recycling box.

39- picture to c/s
Another charity bag started- due to be collected Monday (Thursday's collection went on Friday!)
40-scarf into c/s
We either have no collections or lots !
Now even more determined to continue decluttering.

I've been really rubbish recently on the decluttering front.
53 - DD's hand cream uu, she has quite a few nearly finished
54 - jam finished from fridge! I know you were all very excited about this one. I actually made jam crumblies that were discussed on the flylady thread, so still haven't finished the lard. Plenty more odd jams for tarts!

Ideas - take a bag of old newspapers to work for art, light a candle, put a n other toy on selling site, do a bag full of shredding, sell / CS baby cooking books, making jam tarts with jams in fridge that don't get used and lard (one of the ingredients we had to buy for food nutrition) batch 1 made
Listed - children's hangers x16 free, 3 hoodies, bead toy

Current totals 54/2020 7/52
