Guys.. I've done it. 3 black bags of rubbish (stuff I couldn't sell, broken or just not worth donating) 1 black bag for vinted, 1 black bag for charity!
My room of doom is no longer the room of doom! My OH says it will last a week. OH doesnt realise how much I've decluttered.

Wow from me too @chocolatedrinker. And a very organised list too. If my brain was that organised I would get so much more done.
@BlueJ94 that is definitely a win and I love that the chair is in pride of place where it belongs.🙂
Everyone is putting me to shame. I have now washed and dried all of the towels, sheets and duvets from the 6 grandchildren staying. All have been put away with duvets inside their pillowcases just as I had them when I tidied and cleared the airing cupboard a month or two ago. Diamond painting for craft club have been sealed and are ready for packing and pricing so they will leave the house tomorrow along with bead heads for tree angels, and knitting patterns for elves. Christmas fair prep is well under way! 🎅.
I guess I have been back to maintenance and need to get back to decluttering. We are without a car for a week.Had to wait until body shop gave us our car back before we could book MOT which is now not until a week on Monday! Still won't be able to bring too much more in. It also means that we can't get to the tip!!! Swings and roundabouts as they say.craft stash 2023 =161, 2024 = 119 2025 = £25.96 spent, 128 made and 5 mended,

Evening all
Just popped in and wo with the fantastic efforts with all the wonderful decluttering folks
BlueJ94 - Superb effort! It remineded me of my evil tardis wardrobe of doom that seemed to be never ending but it was virtually all gone in the end along with the horrific enormous wardrobe which gave me nightmares!I mananged all the watering and sorting in the back garden early this morning until I lost total energy & had to roll into bed at 9am until 11.30am as I'd been up for several hours & had completed everything I wanted to achieve today, so I was able to relax with babyface & plenty of coffeefor the rest of the day. Just finished emptying & cleaning the kitchen, bin, & loading the washing machine ready for tomorrows load; which I'll probably wash before I go to bed and hangout overnight
Time to get a large mug of coffgee & get relisting & listing decluttered items - Wishing everyone a peaceful eveing & a wonderful relaxing sleep - Take care all & toodle - pip for now xxxxxx

Evening all.Been a lovely day here.
Friends popped in this morning with cards and present which was so kind of them.When friend asked what I would like for my birthday, I said “only one thing, a nice pot for the plant in my kitchen please” she very kindly gave me just that and I am so grateful.DH was also asked for just one thing which is not a tangible thing so no clutter! He bought me an Ancestry DNA test. It’s been sent back for analysis so I don’t have to find room for it.
DH also cooked a wonderful roast beef dinner, he is an awesome cook.I am a very lucky me.Really enjoying reading everyone’s posts too, well done all.Have a good night xxSaving 1 animal wont change the world - but it will change the world for that 1 animal
