Lol I dread to think what is in mine. Hubby seems to collect things, like bits of wire, and just shove them in drawers! Drives me bonkers lol

I'm going to do one whole drawer today How do kitchen drawers end up so full of tat! I have so much that needs decluttering that I just look at it for ages trying to decide where to start. I need a plan. And someone behind me with a big stick. The recycling is collected every fortnight - but I am partly organised with that as the glass and plastic goes straight into the bin which is kept outside. I don't put it out for recycling every time though as it is a big bin, I will wait until it is over three quarters full. It is just the pile of papers that need sorting and shredding so I can put the box out for the next collection.

I find writing a list is a good thing for me. ...I'll write it room by room and then work through it. ...its so satisfying to see things ticked off!!!

Sorted through my airing cupboard last night and filled a bin liner with towels and bedding that we don't use anymore.
My next challenge is to see how long I can go without doing a food shop (except for my daughters lunch box food and milk) I have a freezer and cupboard full off food and haven't been shopping since May 23rd....I reckon I can go until a week on Saturday before I'm out of food! !!!!

I've sorted out some recycling this morning it's good to have a clear out! Tomorrow my plan is to go through to bags of xmas stuff which we were given and clearly don't need because we have never used it! I've started a charity bag too.

My weight loss should help too as I have 3 different sizes of clothes in the wardrobes and drawers. I should only need one. So as I lose weight I pledge to get rid of all things in a bigger size and I will not keep them 'just in case'. I can't wait to do this too! So many 'when I loose the weight' clothes and not very many now clothes. Downsizing the wardrobe is a must for me!!

Old bed gone, loads more old stuff bagged up ready for the skip and a few more boxes packed ready for moving! I'm loving the fact that when I get to my new house half the crap I've been hoarding for years will be gone ?

That's a lovely feeling Blubex. I remember when I was moving house and I thought "Am I really going to pay removal men to move this?". That helped me chuck things away. I'm currently defrosting 2 freezers and getting rid of loads of out of date food. At the same time, I'm getting rid of some clothes including my much loved holey jumper which I've had since I bought it in Chelsea Girl - for those who can remember that far back. It had to go, really!

Yesterday saw the back of a stash of carrier bags saved just in case I needed them, an old radio and a cracked planter.
