30 Day Declutter:

Continuing my 30 day declutter I have another joyous day clearing this out in prep for Christmas. Now to pick up from yesterday where I left you at number 79 out of 90 items gone from my small little home:
80.Girls stroller-Freecycle
81.Purple paint that I hardly used-Freecycle
82.Small child's chair-Freecycle
83.Mini board game that no one plays with-charity shop
84.Unused bed sheet-charity shop
85.Canvas wardrobe-Freecycle
86.Carrier bag of children's clothes-charity shop
87.Tigger pillow-charity shop
88.Old white pillow from old sofa-charity shop
89.Large foot stall-Returned to rightful owner after kindly being lent to us (means my tree can go up yey!)
90!Maths workbook way to old for any children I know!-charity shop

So there it is, I have managed to do 90 items, my 30 days are not up however until 11 December so I will still be continuing my decluttering of the house. Having this blog sure does help though so maybe I will keep blogging my updates for my own motivation.

So I'm incredibly near the end of my 30 days of decluttering. It started off slowly but now there is a very, very happy lady across the road sat in her charity shop surrounded by Brooker goods! 
I'll jump straight in shall I? I have no photographic evidence to prove I have done this so you'll just have trust me! So when I last updated I was left with the grand total of 65/90 items recycled, passed on or returned to rightful owners:
66. A giant panda teddy-charity shop
67. A bridal magazine that had seen better days left in the rack-recycled
68. Baby bath seat-charity shop
69. Green oval plate- returned to my Aunt
70. Old tin-returned to my mum
71. Girls shelf unit- charity shop (finally!!!!)
72. Broken hamster cage- taken to local dump
73. Old shorts- recycled
74. 2 cushions-charity shop
75. Odd shaped side table- Mum took this to her local charity store
76. Hoody Other Half never wears-charity shop
77. Towel-animal charity shop (they pass it on)
78. 3 microfibre tea towels I hated- gave them to Mother who was in need of new ones and likes them more
79. Shower curtain unwrapped-charity shop
79/90
Can I just say i have decluttered way more than this but silly me didn't jot down anything else! My Iceland bag got filled again and taken just this morning and I didn't rummage through! Darn!

My 30 Day Declutter! An Update

I've been having some what a lack of motivation this week *sighs* but nether the less I have still go rid of a couple of unloved and unwanted objects.

  • A little toy kitchen bought for Little Miss last Christmas but which has already been cast aside for anything Doctor Who/Peppa Pig and the like...including my real cups and plates!
  • A pair of jeans has gone to the charity shop and a too small polo shirt I have been shamefully squeezing Little Miss in to for the past 2 weeks!
  • Returned a bag which was left behind from October to my Aunt
  • Returned a jelly mold to my Mum which has been sat in my cupboard since October also 
So that brings my declutter to:
65/90
Must do better!

30 Day Declutter:

I've been making good preogress with my 30 declutter challenge, i'm really surprised at how much stuff I have that is either useless to me but could be so useful to someone else or is simply broken and not much use to anyone!!
I've had fun sorting through some things. Today I did out both the children's toy boxes so tomorrow one can be moved upstairs freeing up some room in the lounge (which is definitely needed) I got rid of a baby bouncer and some baby clothes to Other Halves sister who is due her 4th little bundle at the beginning of the new year, very exciting! Little Miss even helped me sort through her box which surprised me, a couple of months ago she would be screaming at me to not give these toys away but  even managed to part with her broken Tardis this evening by putting it in the recycling bag. She'll be happy at Christmas though with room to place all her new toys. 
Tomorrow will involve a couple of trips to various charity shops as currently I have 2 bags (more to come tonight I feel), a play kitchen that isn't used, an old baby bath seat which is too dangerous now Little Man can sit up unaided, and also a pink draw shelf which has been loitering in my landing for half a year now-not good!
  1. Arsenal wash bag
  2. Baby inflatable bath
  3. 0-3 month coat
  4. Mr men cushion
  5. 1 nail polish (unused)
  6. Unopened swim nappy-too big for one too small for the other
  7. Subject dividers
  8. 10 children's books we never read (we have SO many as well)
  9. Oven glove
  10. Football book
  11. 2 pairs of trousers that no longer fit Little Miss
  12. Slippers
  13. Packet of shower rings
  14. Unused deodorant-popped into a box for those in need
  15. 21 baby clothes that no longer fit
  16. Bag of clothes passed on to family
  17. 1 massive sleeping bag which we will never use
  18. Broken mirror (broke a week ago finally being discarded)
  19. Left over week old birthday cake removed from fridge (yeah I'm counting this, how gross! That's what happens when you get 2!)
  20. Picnic cups passed to me (relatives De junking their house in other words!!)
  21. Pink curtains that won't be used
  22. 4 kids magazines recycled from months ago
  23. 2 New! magazines recycled from months ago
  24. Old Argos catalogue recycled
  25. Baby play mat
  26. Baby bouncer passed on to sister in law
So, counting up everything there individually (bar the bag of baby clothes passed on as too many little bits) I have now got rid of:
60/90 items!!
And there is so much more to do, I'll go over 90 I reckon!!
Iceland bag will be the official 'donating bag' i think!
