I'm on a roll at the moment, we finally (after 4 years) got around to choosing and having wardrobe doors fitted, this meant emptying the wardrobe and I refused to allow myself to put stuff back in there I wouldn't wear. A few bits have gone in for now but ear marked if they're not worn they're out. I then progressed to swapping drawers around and cleared out even more and the pile of clothes for charity is ridiculous.
I am on with shoes next biggest issue is I always wore heels, but they just kill my feet these days, but I'm reluctant to let go of many but I am doing a deal with myself that some have to go. Problem is they were bloody expensive - Kurt Geiger, Carvella to name a few. So I might try e-baying them, same with handbags and the no longer needed bile leathers. Then I have a load of Royal Dalton and similar figurines, not my taste, which came to us when my husband's auntie died - too good to charity but again the faff of ebaying kills me.
We also had a clearout of old paperwork - there's a long way to go but I'm in the zone so I'm on it!!
Meglet cannot believe you've been in your house a year... as for unpacked boxes we have been in ours 9 years and still have some (largely photos that I wont put up but don't want to get rid of) the joy.... and of course Xmas is coming so more 'stuff' to deal with talking of which there is a bag still to put away from last year oops!

I think there are places which eBay your stuff in return for a cut, might be worth investigating?
I put the leftover tiles on freecycle, hopefully someone will pick them up because my freecycle approach is to stick them outside and give my address, I gave up waiting for people years ago.

Tiles have been collected. Another pile of books to go to charity, and a random selection of crap from my bedroom thrown out. Progress.

The freecycler who collected the tiles is over the moon with them (quite rightly, they were bloody expensive but I couldn’t return them and my decorator over measured). She offered to bring me a present to say thank you but I said I was just glad they had a good home 
The decluttering continues...

that's nice fleecy, to know that someone is happy and benefited and you get the de-clutter feeling too - win win.
I am bagging clothes for charity this weekend, either charity shop or if they can take them the women in domestic abuse rescue. I want rid of the old drawers in the bedroom too - but need to empty the darn things first!

If I could declutter a third of my bodyweight, I could keep all the clothes that are currently in the loft

We're finally in the new house, and feeling very cluttered at the moment, there's definitely going to be some stuff leaving in the next few weeks/months/years.

My neighbour called today and I gave him 5 large-ish pictures for his car boot or whatever.
Attacking the sheets and towels again next.

I found sheets and towels quite difficult to get rid of. Its not often you need old sheets or towels but they can come in handy! I have a couple of sets away and she took the rest to a friend for their dogs.
