When planning my month I now regularly factor in a trip to the charity shop and one to the tip!. I also mention what I am intending to de clutter at work. My colleagues are wonderful, they have taken so much of my hands!
Unfortunately I have at times had the kind of jobs that generated a lot of paper so that in itself is a huge task but is now considerably smaller.
I think retiring has focused my mind as there is so much that I can identify as not wanting going forward in what will be a major change, so it is proving easier than in the past.
Reading other peoples projects is inspiring.:)

I know it doesn't help to clear the clutter but once you have a system, a bag going for each season in a designated place, it gets easier.
Happy New Year everyone.

I work in a charity shop and agree with what she says. We don't have hardly any storage space. Keeping things from now until next Oct/Nov is impossible.
Most charity shops have to pay to have excess rubbish collected.
Please think twice before donating trees or decorations or ask if the shop can store them.
Thank you so much.

I'm in for 2020 please. I've mostly been decluttering the fridge over the past few days! I don't have loads of stuff to go, but areas that can be improved and paperwork to slim down. I went a little walk into town today, came back only with things that were needed, including a single pack of reduced Christmas cards for next year, I have reduced stocks to just 2 small packs, so they will be needed. I wombled quite a few nice gift bags on Christmas day so they have been put away for next year. I could do with a couple of rolls of Christmas paper in the sale, but could see nothing I liked today and I am not buying foil or glitter paper as it can't be recycled. I'll keep an eye out.
Right, going to put some jacket spuds in for tea and make myself sort some paperwork while they are cooking.

It doesn’t matter how long, just set yourself a deadline you think is reasonable to get round to listing it... if You haven’t done it then charity shop it. If you can’t set a deadline then ask which you want more : the space, or the money?

My house is so shameful that I don't even want to explain how bad it is
My Dad and FIL both took a book from a box of random books I have.
Hubby tells me I have to have minus points for all the Christmas pressies! I said, my challenge my rules lol.
