The husband keeps saying we should, but seeing as he’s not getting out there and doing it, I don’t have to feel guilty for not having a go myself.
I’m sure it’ll get done in the end… she says.

It may take me ’til Christmas to declutter! I did take a large shopping bag to the thrift store last weekend. And I could stand to take about 20 more. Sunday we have both pledged to not leave the house. We’ll see how this goes!

Its always a great idea to do a pre christmas clutter during November. It helps to calm life down a bit by removing items which are taking up space in life and home and not giving anything back to in terms of value or enjoyment. I have been blogging about a similar theme this month (shameless plug) as I feel the less time that is spent on doing the actual maintenance of keeping both house and self, the more time there is to spend on people and activities which are truly loved.

great plan!! It is always good to make a list. I had the declutter this past month… my boyfriend is coming to town and will see my house for the first time. SO I HAD to declutter. I actually, am excited for him to see it!!
doing it in small bits helps a lot!

Now I feel guilty – or perhaps motivated! Yes!

Definitely. I’ve been doing the Apartment Therapy Cure over the past 6 weeks. Loads of clearing out. I just took all the clothes to the charity shop this week. I could do more with the toys, but while I was doing mundane “Cure” tasks, like get boiler serviced we were hit with having the boiler condemned so we’ve had a new heating system which has displaced a whole cupboard and left us with plastering and painting that needs doing. I’m definitely trying to get that all back in shape before Christmas.

As you know, we have been redecorating and therefore been forced to declutter!
We took all our old PS2 console/games/accessories etc to Gamestation & traded it all in & as there was so much tat there we actually got a decent amount of store credit! It is definately worth doing!
Aside from that: have you heard of FreeCycle.com? I found about it today & is a free organisation which you can give stuff you don’t want anymore & even get stuff in exchange- though is probably more for furniture etc, but still worth a look! X
