2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Sorted on the carport. Tidied some stuff found 20 batteries for recycling, binned broken mop bucket and a load of plastic for recycling. Cleaned and cleared kitchen window sill and fridge. pulled out bedside cabinet, hovered cobwebs behind . Also pulled out half finished cross stitch, sorted it thrown out cardboard and plastic bags. Now left with cross stitch itself , chart, threads and scissors. I will complete the cross stitch.

9 sacks of things taken to the charity shop, a sign on the door read "Sorry we cannot take any more donations at the moment" panic ! stopped panicking and took it all to a local animal charity instead the girl there said they'd had loads of stuff this week but took all mine anyway. phew. everyone must be having a good clear out.

I have been keeping on top of the post as it comes in each day, which I have found useful.

Only 1,970 more things to go :rotfl:

I've had the whole week off work, back next Weds, I've done hardly any sorting out/clearing up but I have had a really busy week: Musical in London, day trip to Marwell and DS1 birthday lunch. In that time I have got rid of:-

48) Hair root touch-up hairspray sample (I will probably buy it again)
49-50) ebay sales
51-52) Amazon sales
53) Broken and crumbling sock hanger/direr/airer (whatever it's called :rotfl:)

My tumble dryer has also decided to break on me, so a new one is coming on Saturday. That is the 3rd appliance that has broken down since the end of October. :mad: Anyway, there's a lot of crap around it and on top of it so will hopefully find lots of things to get rid of.

One of the ebay items I thought was in a pile of things to sell wasn't. I spent the next hour searching my bedroom, eventually found it next to the computer... Then one of the Amazon sales was a book that also took me nearly an hour to find. I have a system for my Amazon sales but it only works when I know where everything is. I've still got 50 things that are MIA.

Me: What's this lead for?
Hubby : It's the US lead for the slow-cooker
Me: Bin!
Hubby : Well, I was thinking we should keep it...
Me: Are we moving to the US any time soon? BIN!


62 Useless lead for slow cooker :-)

Took a bag of stuff to charity shop this morning:

275:doll's bath
276:doll's potty
277:kid's jeans
278-279:kid's jumpers
280:spinning top toy thingy
281:maze toy
282:tiny playing cards
283-284:kids t-shirt
285:winnie the pooh card game

When I was at the shop,it was nice to see alot of the books I had donated last week,on the shelves.Sometimmes I do worry that shops just ditch the stuff that gets donated,so nice to see it being used.

Need to go to work for a couple of hours now,but hopefully get more decluttering done tonight,and definitely over the weekend.
