The Last Furlong

Today didn't end up being a NSD as I forgot the window cleaner was coming so £2.30 spent. I had some spare time this afternoon and inspired by another forum user HHOD I have decluttered all my clothes and shoes. One black bin bag of clothes for the charity shop and one for the clothing bin. Plus around 20 books well. I have at least 40 items for eBay as well.
I am determined now to de clutter every drawer and cupboard over the summer. I am definitely not a hoarder so it shouldn't be a to onerous task.
Took lounge and bedroom curtains down, also took cushion covers off and now it's all washed ready to go back up over the weekend.
Looking forward to a nice bath tonight .Debt free April 26th 20211 -

Nothing like a good old pared down wardrobe - I sorted a few things out myself last weekend - couple of pairs of trousers that was slightly too small initially but now fit - however I found that I didn't really care for them anymore! Off to the charity shop they went!
Have a good weekend Sunshine. Are you up to anything special apart from the de-cluttering?

Everyone seems to be decluttering like crazy. I have decluttered my clothes so ruthlessly I now don't have enough to wear! Have a good weekendIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Not long now till Easter. Quite envious that you're visiting lovely Scotland.
Excellent idea on the little and often de-cluttering policy over the summer. That way you won't get fed up with it or overwhelmed. I've was going to do my seasonal job of swapping over my autumn/winter clothes to spring/summer this weekend but it's still rather chilly so I'm going to leave it till next weekend. Not exactly sandal weather yet! I'll carry on wearing the boots - I do have one pair of flip flops out but they're for the pedicure days!:DFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Well I am snookered if it rains now as my wardrobe is full of sandals ! All my winter stuff is packed away in the suitcase.
I have done tons more washing , bedding , mattress protectors on all both beds . Cleaned my windows , I only have 4 :rotfl:.
Went to the beauticians for waxing and had a free eyebrow wax from loyalty visits so saved £6. I am limping into payday now , which is Friday but will be Thursday .
eBay is going well , have had a few bids already.
Need to wash up now and settle down for the evening.Debt free April 26th 20211
