Ah, right ... we have one of those, we call ours 'The cupboard under the stairs'. The tumble drier and regularly used or needed household stuff (light bulbs, torches etc go in there). With all that going on in there there's not much room remaining for conducting illicit romps with strangers :-o

We have a box under the stairs full of gloves, hats etc. I've just gone through it looking for ski gloves for Marigold and managed to declutter over half the contents. Small steps!

Just been through all my clothes (except coats and undies and those in the wash). I followed the ‘what do I love’ principle and have been left with a sizeable pile of stuff I don’t love and a couple of not sures. Next stage is to go through that with husband in tow for the more brutal decisions!

The ‘not sures’ are tricky, but I suggest putting them away somewhere and if you don’t miss them get rid!

Well done WA, small steps is great!

I’ve sold a sofabed today as I need the space for my bathroom extension. House looks cluttered as there’s now renovation going on for at least the next 4 weeks, will have to live with it for a while.

What better incentive to sell a few unwanted items than saving for a new watch. Fell in love last night but being sensible and saving for it (most unlike me I tho k I’m ill!!)

So for ebay/Facebook selling page is some brand new unworn more miles trail shoes (having become a total convert to vibrams)
GHD straighteners and travel hairdryer

And sure to be many more as I start decluttering.

We finally sold the bookcase and desk went a few weeks ago so progress is being made.

Oh and a cross trainer!

Don’t even get me started on clothes and shoes.

I have a mountain of stuff to take to the women’s refuge for ladies who’ve left domestic abuse to help them restart. Feels much better getting rid when it helps others. I think a bag cull may be in order too

Rght, we've decided to move and this weekend is empty the garage space and get the flat ready for photographs.
I've just gone through all my shoes and clothes and have two bags of each to go to the recycling bins.

Staying in the same town, but hoping to get a house.
Just done two bags of books. The rest on the floor are Kev's, so need to get him involved :-)

".... This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day."
