👜 September 11-20 was a lot more haphazard. I began with a bag and then, whilst hunting for something in the Futility Room, found a couple of drawers which needed sorting. And my 55 'items' are a bit random. I think I have cheated - but I have achieved something...
ONE a cotton tote bag for the Charity Shop
TWO disposable paper face masks in the back of the drawer since 2020! THREE spare tupperware [put into CS bag]
FOUR leggings,tops from my running days [a decade ago] CS 🩳
FIVE dead plants in pots hidden behind my herb trough. To compost 🥀
SIX copies of Private Eye. Recycled
EIGHT stained, stiff and unpleasant dishcloths from FR drawers [see** below] Binned
NINE loo roll tubes. I have plenty for planting and crafting. Recycled.
TEN mailing lists 'unsubscribed' - reducing the clutter in my in-box.
The tune for '12 days of Christmas' started up in my head as I read the list... decluttering always puts me in a good mood!

DeleteWell done!!! You've done a good job so far at culling!! I save the shower gel bottles as we/I get them refilled at any of the refill shops I frequent. I stock up and then don't have to buy any for months on end. It was great in lockdown as I'd recently filled up about 8 bottles!
ReplyDeleteWe have a version of those cloths. The white ones look grubby though! I might try your microwave /dishwasher tip! Kx
You did great, Angela! It doesn't matter if the items are random. You got your 55 items decluttered! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat is very true. Celebrate all decluttering success however random😊

ReplyDeleteDecluttering is so liberating. I have had a temporary lull but must resume, thanks to your post for reminding me. Regards Sue H
Autumn is a good time to do it
DeleteI found a pack of paper masks in kitchen drawer last week so popped them into medicine box. Why?You did well with your debunking.
ReplyDeleteMy two were loose and crumpled. Not sure I'd want to wear them. I've yet to declutter the bathroom cupboard.
DeleteI keep saying to myself Tidy House Tidy Mind but decluttering progress here is slow.
ReplyDeleteWell done on yours

I think I have an untidy mind ...
DeleteNorrie and I had a conversation yesterday about masks-I have boil washed and ironed all the remaining cotton ones and put away safely just in case they are needed again. I had a decluttering day of photos in my cloud account this weekend-I couldn’t remember where some of them were taken! Car passed its MOT today-phew!! Your Etsy shop is looking good-fingers crossed for lots of sales. We’ve tidied the garden this morning and crammed the garden waste bin full ready for uplift on Wednesday. Catriona
ReplyDeleteYou have been working hard. I've pulled out all the spent tomato plants this morning and done 2 loads of washing,. But its rained a lot so the stuff is on the airers. Pleased the MOT was OK. Thanks for kind comments about shop.
DeleteYou are doing really well. I had a speedy decluttering session on Saturday and we did a last minute table top sale on Sunday to help support the local scout and guide groups. It went quite well, and I'm already loving the bit of extra space I've gained around the place.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel I've gained much space (yet) I must just keep going ...
DeleteYou are really getting into the swing of decluttering now. I decluttered a few more items today and am over 60 now for the month as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to do a lot more declutterring, it’s amazing how things seem to accumulate. I did tear up all the cardboard tubes I’d been collecting for seedlings and added them to the compost. Something I thought you might be interested in is a Boots recycling scheme I heard about yesterday. I haven’t had a chance to check it out but apparently if you take in 5 hard to recycle items they give a £5 voucher off a £10 plus spend.

I'm still decluttering here too. Slowly slowly room by room.
