Jan 2010 - Day 5
So far so good: I’ve managed to declutter at least 10 things a day for 5 consecutive days, even with going out. Still lots of little bits that have been laying around. This lot has been in our study since June, which is when I did the last declutter! They got put in a crate under the desk in the study, ready for the next declutter, and ever since then we’ve been hitting our legs on it whenever we’ve used the computer! They were earmarked to go but not included, so this time they’ve gone! The crate will be put (empty) back in the loft!
Clockwise from top left:
Two maps of New England that are out of date now. In the paper recycling.
A Spanish grammar book. Got rid of the other Spanish books in the summer. This will go to the charity shop.
A pink car tax disc holder. I had this in my car but it kept falling off. Putting in the charity bag.
4 file folders full of info from an OU course I did in 2004. I kept these in the loft for a few years, then got them out last summer. Despite numerous appearances on Freecycle they’re still here, so I’m recycling the paper and will offer the empty files on Freecycle.
A Skype telephone that came from somewhere, hubby probably. Put this in the charity bag.
2 novelty notepads. We’ve got paper coming out of our ears in this house so I can lose these 2. Gone in the charity shop bag.
Various DVDs that were given away free in newspapers. We’ve either watched them or are not interested in them, so they’ve gone in the charity bag too.
A fold up ruler. No idea where this came from or why we’ve got it, because it’s not accurate! Gone in the charity shop bag.
A pack of file dividers for folders. Hubby got these from work but never used them, so they’ve gone in the charity shop bag too.
A disposable camera, with a ‘develop by’ date of June 2005! This has had to go in the bin.
Another 10 or so things gone from the house forever!
