    Sorry forgot to add from yesterday.

    Tidied and threw away some of the crud in the downstairs toybox.

    Not added on as dozens of small things.

    360-365:as a result of emptying lots of pretty storage boxes the other day,I now had 3 boxes ready to donate next time I am at the charity shop.
    Then I had a friend come and visit me this afternoon.Just as she was leaving ,I asked her if she happened to need lots of pretty boxes.Oooohh,yess please :j:j.So 6 boxes (actually 3 boxes,and an unopened package of 3 boxes) out of the house.
    As well as that,just as I was typing this post,I have had collected,a punching bag and 2 punching/boxing gloves.I had tried to sell them on facebook selling pages about 8 months ago,and had no interest (one silly-low offer,which I rejected).This afternoon I relisted,accepted £20 instead of the £30 I had advertised,and it was out of the house in about an hour :j:j:money:.In 16 months of decluttering,this is only the second item I have tried to sell.I really just want stuff out of the house,so end up donating.But I knew I could probsbly sell this quickly.
    So counting a punching bag and pair of gloves as items numbered 366-368.
