I have had a go at decluttering today and have found many boxes of Modulex, a form of lego used by architects. I looked it up on ebay and 30 pieces is being sold for £10.00. I've had it for years and years and don't like the auction sites any more, and I'm definitely not going to use it. Should I just give it to the charity shop?£216 saved 24 October 201410

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.12 -
My last post on the 2023 Decluttering Thread 🤞
A bit of cheerleading before a summary of the year & the Awards ListExcellent decluttering short_bird 👏 Very impressed with your NSDs 🤩 I quite agree - very bad luck to do housework or laundry on New Years Day 😧
youth_leader nice to meet you 👋 Just went down a rabbit hole looking at Modulex 😂 Perhaps a car boot sale 😉
GrannyKate & C_Charlie looking forward to seeing you aboard the 2024 EDT 👋
Another year of decluttering done - what happened to 2023 😱 The EDT moved so fast that many of us struggled to keep up 😉 as evidenced by 848 pages of posts 🤩
A year of ups & downs, successes & non-successes in our attempts to simplify our lives & homes. I would like to thank you all for making the 2023 Decluttering thread such a joy 😊 sharing your lives & photos 👏 & making new friends along the way. I am hoping that I see you all on the 2024 Decluttering Thread especially those who, for whatever reason, were unable to post 🙏
Here’s wishing you all
A HAPPY, HEALTHY & SUCCESSFUL 2024
Now to the Annual Awards 👏 No particular order & I hope I haven’t made any mistakes 😉

Sorry I've been missing in action for a while.
This thread has really gotten away from me and have missed lots.
I've had a few things come in, and have been trying to make a start on tidying and decluttering today.
Ive managed to take 1 small(ish) bag to the charity shop yesterday, plus took 4 small plates to a friend who needed them.
I've fortunately got a WhatsApp group through church that i can post things that I no longer need on.
I've so far managed to re-home 3 cook books, 4 other books, 1 roll of bubble wrap, 1 roll of wrapping film (for moving home), an unopened bottle of jeyes fluid, 1 IKEA picture frame and a cable tidy.
They will be going to church Sunday.
I've posted some other bits and and am waiting to see if they will go.
I've a small bag on the go since yesterday for the charity shop.Decluttering campaign 2023

the last week of 2023: I took a carboot full of stuff to the dump. I culled 3 years of emails from Mum's tablet.
