I have done my wardrobes so I moved onto the chest of drawers. I threw away some old file plastic folders that I had no idea why I was keeping. I was at a soundbath the other day and the man running it asked if I wanted an eye mask and I said I didn't like them so why did I just find two in a drawer?! They can't be donated so they had to be binned as well.
I have binned some things, some leftover salad and a bun from yesterday.
My husband has to go through his wardrobe later. I forgot I bought myself an hourly day planner so I'm filling that out now. I think I am going to try and read for one hour everyday. I have joined 4 book groups so I have lots to read!

Today’s job of the day is to parcel up the Ziffit box. However I won’t be doing that until the box is worth £10 at least as I have a 15% extra voucher code that only kicks in at £10. That £1.50 all helps towards ‘Operation Loft Conversion’ 😉✒️ Declutter 2025 🏅👗 Fashion on the Ration 2025 61/66 coupons (5 coupons silver boots)✒️Declutter 2024 🏅🏅🏅(DSis 🏅🏅)

I've managed to declutter my bank account.

Paid the rent for the year for the allotment.
Bought a dehumidifier to replace the one that gave up on us.
OP'd on the mortgage (but that's positive I feel).
Think we may need to make a mini tip trip to get rid of all the boxes we have acquired. The recycling was meant to be collected on the 26th, but with it being boxing day they skipped it. So it's not actually being collected until the 9th Jan. NIGHTMARE. We did one tip trip already on NYE. But I feel another coming on.

Done a huge amount today! All Christmas is down and packed away in the loft. Lots of hoovering done! All general rubbish bits and recycling left from Christmas in the respective bins.Only actual decluttering has been my DD (17) has sat and gone through her makeup and parted with about 50% of it, she doesn’t wear very much so it was fairly easy and 18 items (mainly very expired part used lip balms) now in the box I keep for recycling at drop off points. Tesco has a make up one so can drop off next time I go. Also she had a small make up palette that was unused and a sealed eye liner I have popped on eBay to sell for her. The palette is discontinued and so looks like will sell.Off to family for tea shortly and so no cooking tonight 😊.So 11-30 makeup items
plus the 10 magazines from yesterday sold so will drop them at the locker as we drive past.21 -
