@laura_lau I do the same only my spendy day was today! I agree, it's really good to delay spending for exactly that reason, to decide whether you need things. In my case I've bought a pair of shoes (which are needed) and some other things, including a small number of books.laura_lau said:another NSD today! I feel like I'm on a roll! I have a few things I need to order but I;ve been adding them to the cart and waiting, so I can decide if I really need them, plus if I have enough items I can get a discount + free shipping! I'll keep it until I have a spend day (probably tomorrow).

Yes and last year was 40,000! I do count absolutely every little thing, so 1 piece of paper counts as 1. I did also declutter my laptop so had a lot of files deleted. It took 2 years to sort the house (hindered by my parents who keep bringing me stuff), but I’m finished and just in maintenance mode now. I hadn’t actually decluttered anything for 10 years before that!Makingabobor2 said:
Can I ask, how do the decluttering goals work on your signature? Does that mean you have actually decluttered over 17000 items?QueenJess said:At last, another NSD to report.Come and join us over on the decluttering challenge thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6494257/2024-decluttering-campaign-mrssd#latest2025 decluttering: 5,354 🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅🌟🌟2025 use up challenge: 450🥉🥈🥇💎🏆Big kitchen declutter challenge 139/1502025 decluttering goals I Use up Challenge: 🥉365 🥈750 🥇1,000 💎2,000 🏆 3,000 👑 8,000 I 🥉12 🥈26 🥇52 💎 100 🏆 250 👑 5002 -
