I'm a hoarder

Hi folks.
I have a confession to make. I need help with my home organisation. I'm hoping to get as many tips as possible from you lovely lot.
I work fulltime, have children and a very small house with too much stuff.
What are your daily routines? I leave the house at 6.30am and get home at 5 so really need to do as much as possible at weekends.
I just don't know where to start, the house is a nightmare.
I need to declutter, organise and sort my shit out!

Thanks buffy Grin

We use any money made from selling stuff online etc towards either family days out or a holiday so it's a really good incentive to try and sell stuff. We made £110 last year and that plus our tesco vouchers paid for all our days out on holiday in the summer. I'm starting in earnest this year - I'm aiming for about £500!

another thing that's quite helpful when trying to throw something out is to look and see how much the thing would be worth on ebay. Quite often the answer is hardly anything! in which case why should you be giving it space either?

On the other hand someone may want it - so why not send it to the charity shop or jumble sale, which will be happy to sell it on (for not very much - but a bit cheaper because no postage costs)?

I am the anti hoarder, I am dyng for a friend, neighbour or aquaintance to ask me to help declutter their home, I would be in my heaven.
Anti clutter stuff I have purchased this week:

Underbed shoe bags, vacuum clothes and bedding bags. You stick the stuff in a vac bag and suck all the air out of it with a hoover. It saves draw space by loads.

Irritated I would love a handhold to help me de-clutter. Seriously. I've even looked into hiring someone, but there isn't anyone I can pay around here.
