A good start with the decluttering this morning. I tackled a dresser that I've been meaning to do for ages. It was storing kids stuff, and they haven't touched it for years. I pulled it all out, got them to look through it and take anything they wanted to keep up to their bedrooms, and the rest is set aside for booting or binned (if bits were missing).
I've told DH that now it is clear, he needs to move some of his stuff from the floor to it. We'll see whether he actually does!
This afternoon I want to sit in the garden with a book.

We're off out today, so not likely to see much decluttering done. DH identified a few other things to go yesterday and has removed them from the front room so all good there.
