Day 29
- 6 items of kids clothes that are too small added to CS bag (will drop off on my way past this afternoon)
- 1 box file - contents to recycling and the file itself to the office in work

I like the idea of recycling kids, but I fear I'd only end up with an even noiser set...

Oh and my transformation has gone that far that I was even dreaming about carp I have in the loft that can be recycled/binned!!

1. DO NOT PUT OFF TO TOMORROW WHAT CAN/SHOULD BE DONE TODAY
2. WRITE AND USE “TO DO LISTS”
3. LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
4. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
5. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’

Wednesday - so far has been dry, bright & sunny but still so very cold 🥶 :j I got up early for me :rotfl: so that I could send DH off on a ciggie run to Belgium (via the Chunnel) prior to the debacle that is Br*xit :mad:
Due to several posters sorting out their spice cupboards/drawers, I was inspired to sort mine out :rotfl: :T
I have condensed various herbs & spices & have emptied eight glass jars - 7 of which are being recycled (the one with the screw top is being kept ) I have some paperwork to sort which I will do shortly. DSis is awake but in her room, probably watching N*tfl*x

132 - 140 Two magazines, 7 glass jars - Recycled. Only 34 items behind

Well Done Gem-gem :T

Good work oceanspirit :T Keeping both counts moving :T

Well Done villagelife :T I’m with pelirocco - recycling kids is a great idea :rotfl:

Makethedayscount, That pesky RL does get in the way of decluttering You are on track though - 38/366 - after all we are only on day 29 of 366 days

Have been busy but doing bits of decluttering as ive gone along.
Thought i would total up today as ive bought some storage boxes and have had a very statisfying time decluttering/sorting out items into the boxes. Most are neutral items that are short term to be shipped out to charity but it was nice having a sort out and neat tidy up

*18-19 sweet tubsx2 into recycling
*20 used stamps given to charity
*21-22 chocs x 2 nearly oud passed on to DD at the weekend
*23 packaging from Christmas present-recycling
*24-26 maccies toys x 3 into recycling
*27 massive box of cardboard-recycling

Still have a big pile of clothes ready to go to the clothes bank and big bag of plastic wrappings to go to recycling so hopefully it wont be too long before im back to update more totals

I've added on the following to todays list:
- 2 pairs of old (inherited football boots) to the bin
- 1 2 man tent donated to the homeless

I've been reading through the thread and am inspired to join in. No specific targets set at this stage I don't think but I would just like the place to feel a bit clearer and free'er of "stuff" if you know what I mean!

Hello to Greenbee and a few names I recognise from the No More Toiletries Thread also!

I have to wait in on Friday morning for an openreach engineer to (hopefully) come and restore broadband to the house so I'll make a proper start then I think - although I might well have a mini-attack on one area tonight I think. For Friday I'll commit to having a dig through the dressing table and bathroom storage baskets - pretty sure there will be some easy wins there with products that are opened and long since out of date.

I'm already in the middle of a "using things up" challenge that's been ongoing for a while so this will enlarge on that - freezer, kitchen cupboards, larder and storecupboard are being attacked, and I have a few items I'm targeting getting through on the toiletries front too.

Pleased to see that someone else makes use of food bags for rubbish bags too - we've done that for a while - to the point where the "rubbish" side of my compartmented kitchen bin rarely gets used these days!
