    I have sorted a pile of PS4 games and DVD'S/Blu-Rays and listed 8 of them on eBay. The rest are not worth listing o ebay as low amounts but will try listing them on Facebook instead.

    Have had two sales already not much after fees/postage (£4) but all adds up and is an two items GONE!!!

    count me in :)

    I did the 2017 items in 2017 which was good but I got side tracked as I would do it in fits and starts. I think this will suit me better as it has to be done everyday and 3 items is not a lot (especially if you have drawers and cupboards as full as mine :o)

    Welcome :T

    I need to declutter big time! I have lots of crafty stuff and stuff from teaching in other schools that I haven’t got rid of ‘just in case’. I’m in. This sounds quite manageable. I could even start tomorrow with books I’ll never read again!

    Yay! Good to have you

    Yesterday I did a big clean of my kitchen and have boxed up my items to take to a charity shop, I think there's about 30 things there. I am about to MOT my van, which currently holds several bags of clothes to take to one of those cash for clothes places as well as a bunch of other stuff. As we're hoping to use the van as my daily vehicle I really need to empty it so I'll be starting on that tomorrow.

    I find my issue is not decluttering but rather removing the bagged and boxed up items from my house! I'll make a concerted effort to take a bag of stuff with me everytime I go into town though.

    Wow sounds like a very busy and productive day- well done. Off to a great start. That sounds a bit like me when I have sorted things!

    Woke up to two more eBay sales from yesterdays decluttering which was a nice start to the day and another £4 profit after fees and postage.

    Have just decluttered another drawer and found several bits to pop on eBay which I am going to do now.

    Also been through a couple of kitchen cupboards and found some bits for food bank (all in date just things we haven't got round to using and probably wont) so a good turn and more space all in one. :j

    I have done a little decluttering today, tried to get rid of a bit of rubbish around the house. I think January for me will mostly be throwing things out that have no use as this is the quickest thing at a stressful time for me.

    This is definitely a good reason to start the challenge!

    Yes please :) I need to do some serious decluttering or we're likely to make it onto the next series of 'hoarders'. Can I go in for one item a day please. I will try and do more but I'm most comfortable with just one a day.

    Thank you :)
