2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Ginmonster

I chucked away a bag full of bits and bobs today - old toiletries & makeup I won't use, a couple of too-small coathangers and the popped and squished down remains of DS's birthday balloons which were starting to look very sad. 16 things in total so I'm up to 150/2033. That feels like a nice round number so I shall treat myself to a cup of tea! ☕

I've found another taker for the toys that weren't collected so I should be getting rid of those on Wednesday. I will count them once they're out of the house and not before.

I know what you mean Mrs SD about maybe setting a separate target for big items. It does seem like they're worth more than small ones in terms of the effort required and space you free up. I shall think about it.

There you go @Mrs_Salad_Dodger
They live in the top cabinet of a set of glass-doored Billy, which has fairy lights behind the doors to make everything look pretty!

A few items to report

85. Swimsuit
86 Hooded towel (all to donate to friend for her kids for hols)
87 Fabric face mask (rags recycling)

I also unearthed some Easter bits I'd bought super cheap after Easter last year for gifts. A little too early to be thinking about Easter, but it's reminded me not to re-purchase stuff

Floss - lovely glasses.
Millie2008_2 - I have lots of Easter bits that I bought reduced prices last year - made a note of where they are so I use them.

Hello 🙂.

I've been lurking on here for a bit. Is it okay if I join in with a low target of 365? I've started already, but  need somewhere to be accountable too. Or else it may not happen 😉.

Finally decluttered a bin liner full of towels, and a dog coat that didn’t fit my lad - dropped off at the local animal sanctuary, where they’ll be appreciated more than having them rolling around in the back of my car.

Also got an offer accepted on a property!!

Absolutely chuffed to bits, and so proud of myself.

Super motivated to charge into the house and start packing & getting rid, and my ex can go hang.

@SecondStar was this the place you mentioned or somewhere else??

@SecondStar - Hurrah!!!

And a question for the collective.....does a pair of sox count as 1 item or 2????
