Declutter time, letting this wonderful camera go. Fantastic, but I just don't need it and my FE2 gives me all the 35mm fun that I need.
In this video, you will find some useful packing tips for smooth tips. Here are some packing tips: Invest In Good Quality Boxes, Choose the Right Box to Pack Your Stuff, Opt For Professional Packing Service, etc. But before start packing, you need to declutter your house. And don't forget to choose high quality packing supplies like bubble wrap, boxes, etc. But if you don't have time for packing you can also hire professional removalists in Newcastle, Australia. They can pack all your household belongings safely. To know more information, watch the video or you can also visit the link: www.betterremovalistsnewcastle.com.au/best-packing-practi...
Here are Day 3’s offerings.
7 mugs of varying sizes and patterns. None of these match and yesterday we bought 2 sets of 4 that match, so we don’t need these any more. There are only 2 of us after all! These will be offered on Freecycle – if there are no takers, I’ll take them to the Oxfam charity shop next week.
A dozen plastic plates, not the disposable sort, the kind you use on picnics. I think I had these for when I did refreshments for an annual charity event. Someone else took over and I was left with these. We don’t use them so might as well find them a new home. I’ll Freecycle them or let Oxfam have them.
A box of drawer liners with one missing. These have been in a drawer for ages and have mostly lost their smell. I don’t actually like the pattern on them so wouldn’t use them. I’ll Freecycle them or take them to Oxfam.
A novelty headband with Devil’s horns. This was given to me by my sister for a charity tombola, but I don’t think it’s suitable. It needs 2 batteries, and lights up when switched on. As Halloween is coming up, I’ll offer it on Freecycle. Somebody might like it.
A nursery rhyme jigsaw with big pieces. I bought this at a charity shop when I was doing altered art jigsaw pieces. I also bought about 6 other jigsaws with even larger pieces, and have only ever used about 6. So this one can find a new home in Oxfam as I don’t need it.
3 diet books on the GI diet. I haven’t followed this diet, so might as well get rid of these books. I was successful when I went to a slimming club, and when I decide to lose weight again I will follow the club’s diet again.
An empty bathroom cleaner bottle. We had 2 of these on the go in the bathroom at the same time, and this one only had a few drips left in it, so I emptied them into the other one and disposed of this plastic bottle in the local council’s recycling bag.
2 small Tupperware containers. I don’t really need these any more and can’t think of anything to do with them except offer them on Freecycle, or give them to Oxfam.
A jumper that has stretched in the wash. It doesn’t fit me any more, it got stretched widthways and looks far too baggy, so I will put it in the textile recycling bag. Our local recycling facility has a bin for textiles so next time I am passing I will put it in.
And finally – a cat identity tag. Don’t ask me why I’ve even got this because I don’t have a cat! I think I bought it for some craft project or other and it seemed a good idea at the time! I think Oxfam will benefit from this item.
Just goes to show what weird and wonderful stuff I hang onto that I don’t need any more. Thank goodness for Freecycle and charity shops is all I can say!

ha! the other photo was a tease. this is how we really had to leave things. there are still stacks of things, and other stuff that was being staged elsewhere in the house (some stuff did stay in the hall for the week) that we will get to next week
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!
My journey started with handshakes and smiles from two ladies, Clarice and Diane. I was led into a room with just a table, chair and telephone. What I didn’t know was that the telephone was going to be the tool of my trade at Goodwill Industries of Tulsa (OK).
So what is the result of all these phone calls? Well, for one thing we met our quota for the month of September and then some. But is it really about numbers? No. It’s about helping people and changing lives that matters.
Having lunch with Diane, Paul and Greta every day was the high point of my day — there was always joy and laughter around the lunch table. But the biggest gift I received was knowing I made a difference in someone’s life — to hear the joy in a person’s voice when I told them, “Come in and get a $35 clothing voucher for your new job,” or to have someone stop by your desk and say, “thank you,” with a smile on their face.
I never can say thank you enough to the people at Goodwill® for showing me how to really care about someone else’s life. It was and always will be a positive and life changing part of my life.

It' hard to declutter when you need to keep all of the mark making tools. The stamping around the edge of the right page was done with an old rubber break pedal cover that I found in the barn yard.

Rubbish subject for day 42/365. This is the only photo I took, using a fisheye lens (which is sadly not mine but now I want one!). This is where I sit and work on my photography. I need to declutter this room! My treadmill lives here too, I run from time to time.
The letter on my desk is my invitation to an interview for a BA (Hons) in Photography.
The interview was very tough, and I came out pretty dejected, which is why there was no more photos taken yesterday.
Today though, I got an offer of a place starting in September, yay, I'm going to be a student (at the age of 48!)
Stumbled on this while trying to declutter the background of a shot- applying PaintShopPro's 'one step noise reduction' blurs fine detail, giving a watercolor effect
Same filter can also turn long grass into brush strokes.
It's the 24th day of my 30 Day Challenge, and I spent a few hours Dealing with the futon space in my library/guest room. For months now it's been in "bed" mode, overflowing with pillows, blankets, throw pillows, and even more pillows. And the storage bin underneath was a black hole of the unknown. Today I took it all apart, Donated most of the pillows, a lot of the blankets, some pillowcases, and the three (yes, 3!!!) shower curtains hiding underneath. Then I put 2 winter blankets in a blanket bag, added 1 medium weight fleece to the box, and flipped the futon into couch mode. Topped with just a few pillows and a couple throw blankets, it no longer overpowers the entire room.
12/365 Saturday 12 January 2013 - A trip to the supermarket first thing, followed by delivering the parish magazines. Then home to declutter a kitchen cupboard and another desk drawer. The day hasn't felt as productive as it was. I finished 'Never Go Back' by Robert Goddard and made watercress soup for supper. It was too thick and bland. It never seems to turn out the same way twice. It was the first time using the blender I got for Christmas. It was better than using the stick blender as that sprays food everywhere.
She is wearing her default outfit from 2005 :)
It sorta feels bittersweet taking these photos but at the same time, I feel it must be done. I plan to sell Soye, my first BJD.
I've had her stored in the attic for a month and I didn't miss her at all. I'm trying to declutter my house and she deserves a home where she'll be loved and played with.

I removed everything from my desk. With the Hackintosh, I want to start anew.
There are so many cables - I didn't even know I had these! My desk from now on will be clutter free.
14/30 for my photo-a-day in November challenge
Today's photo is definitely illustrative rather than artistic. As part of my attempts to declutter my study, I found a little pile of socks that needed mending. I did the pale ones yesterday, but then discovered that the electric light is not good enough to do navy or black socks. I meant to get around to the remaining socks today, but by the time I remembered about the socks again, the daylight was fading.
But anyway, this is the cutest pair.
A little dull perhaps - but I've been sorting through drawers recently - on an endless mission to declutter and there are always things to discover. This time I discovered a disk of 50 scanned old photos some of them more than 80 years old.
My inner minimalist thinks it's time to de-clutter my shed . . . 2012 will be my year of letting go . . . of understanding that more that can be found in less . . . of waking up . . . of realising just how good life can be . . . and of cultivating the path towards an authentic way of being.

Now, my registration and insurance info is easy to find (I tossed out all the old/out dated papers), I have a stack of paper napkins (just in case I spill coffee on myself), and the white envelope has my car's manual in it.

This weekend I am starting a Permaculture Design Course at RISC in Reading. In preparation I have been sorting my permaculture, gardening and identification guides/books into some sort of order. A few seem to have gone missing (Patrick Whitefield's "Permaculture in a Nutshell" for example) but I'm sure they'll turn up as we do our New Year general declutter and clearout.
