Very satisfying. Next up - the horrible tangle of necklaces in my jewellery box.<br /><br />Like you I find old magazines energy sapping. I like the way you described that. An out of date magazine is just never as satisfying. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-41993472532150926882013-08-11T19:19:13.814+01:002013-08-11T19:19:13.814+01:00It's strange but I too love to see huge toweri...It's strange but I too love to see huge towering piles of magazines in other folks houses and yet in mine I see them as clutter and they were tucked in a cupboard.

No 1 is CD's. She had 8K+ ( I kid you not) and we've been going through them one by one - it's a big job! No 2 is clothes and No 3 sentimental items.<br /><br />Hope you're having a lovely weekend xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-21989944880385085402013-08-11T04:23:06.779+01:002013-08-11T04:23:06.779+01:00Now let me see....the area at the side of the micr...Now let me see....the area at the side of the microwave, gets all the post before filing away. The children's wardrobe, far too many clothes (many donated!). Oh and the top of the cellar steps....I hate this area, dumping ground for things that really should go in the cellar! Guess what I'll be tackling next week! :) xVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-39639365933894009872013-08-10T23:03:17.125+01:002013-08-10T23:03:17.125+01:00The garden - how did it get so stuffed full?

The guest room as we have visitors coming to stay shortly - as the rest of the house gets decluttered, everything ends up there.<br />2. My wardrobe - I like the idea of a minimalist wardrobe but have too many pieces that I don't want to part with - this summer I'm wearing clothes that I haven't worn in a few years and am glad I didn't part with them.<br />3. My computer - lots of stuff needs to go on an external hard drive.Mairéadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102610500647326693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-71554312690169122232013-08-10T16:45:56.155+01:002013-08-10T16:45:56.155+01:00The spare room is full of things that need to go o...The spare room is full of things that need to go on ebay having been decluttered, so that is a project in itself.

My next areas to tackle are;<br />-the tape drawer (daughter is working her way through husbands record collection, so can't go there!)<br />-photo storage (need to research the best digital storage, any ideas?)<br />-the lad's room!!!! <br />We have a brilliant second hand book shop near us called Barter Books. If you take in your unwanted books they give you credit to spend in the shop at any time. The trick is to only buy fiction books that can be returned to the shop as soon as they have been read rather than adding to the piles of books still on our shelves!!Louisehttp://louisehunterhandmade.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-7099859950803285962013-08-10T09:35:37.139+01:002013-08-10T09:35:37.139+01:00We are right in the middle of a big declutter here...We are right in the middle of a big declutter here. Three areas that have top priority are: my big box of receipts, magazines (also get stacks given to me) and sorting through my three boys clothes cupboards.

I hope to one day be a minimalist! Maybe I am already in my mind but when you are over come by "stuff" all over the place, it can be overwhelming to even go through it!<br />The weekend I'm cleaning out my craft closet. Going through my piles and piles of photos to put them all in albums and Monday and Tuesday I plan to go through my clothes... again. I went through them the start of summer and made over $300 on ebay. I'm downsizing for a move, so I'm going to do another go through and see if I can make any more space.<br />Whew.<br />I'm exhausted already!<br />:)<br />Good luck with your decluttering, I can't wait to see what you are able to do!<br />Have a good weekend,<br />Tammytlcukjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126317345680620502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-60860722900468053312013-08-09T22:39:32.020+01:002013-08-09T22:39:32.020+01:00Claire we have de-cluttered books, DVDs and CDs bu...Claire we have de-cluttered books, DVDs and CDs but still seem to have too many so for me that is an ongoing project.<br />Also I wear basically the same pieces of jewellery for everyday and have a couple of special occasion earrings that were gifts from my husband - the rest should go!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233631855574286076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-78958765829042477812013-08-09T20:10:21.826+01:002013-08-09T20:10:21.826+01:00I put all my magazines on ebay and sell them - at ...I put all my magazines on ebay and sell them - at least then I get some money back for them xxxTrudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242249211391956940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-79032995988134082042013-08-09T16:56:35.287+01:002013-08-09T16:56:35.287+01:00Number 1 - the coffee table where we pile library ...Number 1 - the coffee table where we pile library books and DVDs, and books we've bought but haven't read yet; Number 2 - the desk which always has bills, warranties and renewal papers ready to be filed, and Number 3 - the hardware shelf, because I haven't created a "system" for storing items that don't fit in the tool box!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-1704221952421535612013-08-09T16:52:37.837+01:002013-08-09T16:52:37.837+01:00My list would be:

We seem to have an awful lot of single size bed linen that could be reduced.<br />Still loving your blog :)Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00451416943813912617noreply@blogger.com
