I still got stuff in my shed. In fact it's stuffed full. Some things that will come in handy. Other things i will never need
So need to start to get rid
Today i bought a bag and a small crate indoors. Either binned the contents or put them in a set place
Maybe i hope July i will get a lot shifted.
There's a small table i have. It's really in the way has no use whatever. Think I'll get it to the charity shop tomorrow

I visited a fellow Fetchie this weekend and I aspire to have an uncluttered house like she has. I've spent an hour so far sorting out some living room stuff, it sort of looks worse right now, but it'll get there.

Tink moved from one flat to another earlier this month. We decluttered a small chest of drawers to her. She decluttered a roomful of goodness knows what to us. We now have two unusable bedrooms, because one is full of bike boxes.

Decluttering always seems to involve things getting worse before they get better.

I don't think that will be the case when we declutter the four surplus bike boxes (one in pieces) and the deeply unfashionable sideboard.

You're probably already at the "worse" stage, Velo, and the "getting better" stage is on the horizon.

A1's birthday on Friday, and she wants to spend her birthday money on a HUGE dog (toy) that she's seen in Smyths. So I told her she wasn't allowed to buy it until she made space for it. Yesterday was painful, but in the end very satisfying, with a fair amount of stuff heading "to the loft".......

I had to enforce "one in, one out" with soft toys. And, eventually, "no more in, end of".
Having cleaned and decluttered (or tidied; nothing went out apart from xanthan gum dated 2010 and half a jar of jam in a flavour that nobody likes) our food cupboards two days ago, I've already been to the supermarket and recluttered back to the previous level.

Toys are the hardest thing to declutter, I'm sneaking into our 2yr old bedroom and slowly taking bits out for the charity shop that she's not playing with. The only trouble is that the grandparents are still buying her plastoc random "stuff" - it's a never ending battle..

Our one saving grace is no grandparents to add to the collection! Offset by 11 and 7 year olds with very long memories........... The loft is affectionately know by hubby and me as the "departure lounge" but it occasionally backfires.
To be honest, soft toys and board games I can cope with, it's the empty boxes and plastic tat that get on my t***s.
