Clutter!

[veggiechicken]

Thanks to Mrs W and Bill Door for inspiring me to declutter!

I know some of you keep immaculate houses, with clear worksurfaces and not a speck of dust - but I'm the opposite. You would be appalled if you came here, so, just in case you do, I'm going to have a bit of a clear-out!

Anyone want to join me on a daily declutter challenge? It could be fun

I have 3 days to tidy the flat. I'm in. Today is the kitchen, tomorrow the bedroom (yikes) and Tuesday morning the living room.

And then I get to tackle the boxed horrors under the bed.

Living in a small flat means there is absolutely no storage.

VC, does this mean I would have to actually open cupboard doors?

If so can anyone lend me a hard hat?

In the process of de cluttering the loft because the ceilings are coming down in the WC and the bathroom and being replaced. I have two sheds full to the doors that I can not get into that need clearing and as from April the landfill bit only gets emptied once a fortnight!

I have today started clearing the spare bedroom OMG
It's where everything, that doesn't have a real home, gets bunged! I've managed to sort out about half of it, some to new shelves in the shed, some to the bin - but that's enough for today!

Perhaps I'll feel like doing the other half tomorrow, but at least now I can get in there to do some long overdue ironing lol

I've just realised.... It really must be SPRING cos we have started Spring cleaning like the blackbirds in the hedge

I'd join in but all my clutter will be useful one day

I am trying to declutter but it is a bit slow going so trying to aim to do a little each week, it will take till next year. Although I really need to sell or list on a freebie site some bulky items. I am sure I will get round to it soon

Edit: I am being brave. Tomorrows clean the big fish tank and list it along with the travel cots, cot bed, and 2 prams (I know if I don't put down what I will forget something).

Can I join in but instead of decluttering can mine be unpacking boxes?

Been here nearly a month and not finished unpacking.

I have two shed of that, and when I need it I can't get in there to find it and end up buying another so I may have well thrown it away in the first place!

It'll be a chance to do a second declutter as you unpack. Otherwise you'll end up like us - boxes in the attic unopened since we moved here over 8 years ago

Not sure I can manage daily but I'll do weekly. Have already started - utility room has already been gone through with 2 large boxes of stuff to go. Next on my list is the kitchen - if you open the baking cupboard things fall out at you, & draws regularly get stuck

[veggiechicken]

I thought the daily challenge might be something like -
Empty the cupboard under the sink or throw away 5 things in your wardrobe or something beginning with A etc.

Whatever, its great to know I'm not the only one with clutter. I've filled 2 recycling bags with magazines today

[happyhumph]

Ok - when do we start?

[Alison]

But I might throw away something I find I need next week

Now!! Whichever room you're in, clear the windowsill and see if you can reduce the number of items on it! Then post on here what you've achieved!
