Nephew is already at £13.00 and neice at £5.00, all stuff bagged and taken to charity shop. (I set an upper limit of £20 each)

Novels? Non-Fiction? I’m interested.

I’m ok with clearing out clothes and usually have something to put in every charity bag we get through the door. It’s all the stuff in the attic that will be difficult as some of it was my mums and as much as I know I will never use it, will be hard to part with. Still she would rather someone appreciate it than have it sitting in a box.

keep up the good work!

Shall look into selling books on ebay and Amazon. I won a big box of hardbacks in a short story competition so not all my cup of tea. This weekend we are doing the games cupboard as we need the space.

Will check out the Flylady – and I love the sound of “27 weeds”!

Progress so far: I have only 1/3 of my clothes left. Anything I haven’t worn for 2 years has gone. No matter how much I loved it. Really tough as I was quite attached to some things, even though I hadn’t worn them for many years.

Am selling / giving away lots of baby clothes, as Theo outgrows them.

Have sold 60 books so far on ebay and Amazon – another 50 to go. That one’s really tough for me! But it’s raised a few hundred so far :-)

I’m doing it a little bit at a time – a single cupboard or drawer, whenever I’m in the mood. So I’ll get there eventually! The next step is the attic. Wish me luck!

I introduced this to a friend who was finding weeding too daunting. Now everytime she goes out her door for ‘fresh air’ she pulls 27 weeds. Look forward to hearing how you get on.

I love reading blogs and found yours via a link that was kindly sent by a girl who organises a local veg box scheme. I am about to collect my very first box tomorrow – I’m so excited!
Anyway, thanks for the great recipes, not being much of a cook I will need all the help I can get to think of ways of using lovely fresh veg.

As for the declutter – erm I need one myself so can’t offer any help at all except that you might like to have a look at this website, http://www.flylady.com She is an expert on organising everything!!!! I’m sure she was a sargeant major or something in the past!

Great blog by the way!
