Decluttering has been very slow recently as RL has got in the way.
Only a few more things to add to my tally:

53. Chipped plate-binned
54. Pair of DH's socks with holes-binned
55-56. Shampoo and Mouthwash used up and packaging recycled.

Still plenty of every-day rubbish and recycling going out every day.
Annual challenge

Hi again, just been on the tip run again for 2nd time. Thrown out a coat which my wife has worn out along with some paper bags.

mark55man

what a lot of decluttering achieved by everyone since my last visit which was a couple of weeks ago.

I managed to get ahead of the rain this afternoon and do some serious "bad stuff" removal from the front garden where some bushes had got a bit scrubby and brambly so

5/50 - another tip load - excess garden waste
3/25 - full council recycle bin up with garden clearance stuff

ETA: Thanks to jimmy I have had the idea of create a list on my wunderlist app for all the things that need to be taken to the tip + a few items to add!!

Tackled the Tupperware cupboard :eek:

Old and very well loved thermal lunch bag, binned
Old discoloured Tupperware we never used, binned x4

Always end up running out of these by the end of the month so can’t get rid of much.

Seem to have more lids than tubs though... :undecided

But everything soaked in a stain remover to try and remove the yellow, orange tinges (only partly successful)

When the plastic pile has dried, will stack it neatly back into the baskets that are meant to organise things.

561-565 - 4 toothbrushes. (Told you it was bad). I have two electric and two normal left even after I have got rid of the 4.
566 - one huge wedding underskirt donated to charity- this took up one whole shelf in the cupboard.
567 - one old handbag of my mums given to little one and now in the CS.

Another successful weekend of decluttering. A quiet week shall ensue from me. x
