Decluttering thread 10 - Spring is here, time to get those surfaces clear!

[TidyClutterIsStillClutter]

thread 9 is full, and I can’t find a new thread. Can anyone point me to thread 10?

Posted my wig to another cancer girly today. So that’s both gone and a good deed done.

also broke a glass.

and have somehow cracked the top and straw to my water bottle. So that’s been binned.

have spent the last hour tidying up the house.

got things ready for takingn back to shop tomorrow, and have finally counted up the pennies in the penny jar so I can pay them into the bank. Not much - around £4. But it’s something.

and I found EUR10 in coin. So am going to get that changed back too.

Feel like I am getting back on track now the pooches are more settled in.

W/E 11/05 (Week 19)
2025 – (720 + 41 = 761) = 1264 to go

Digital
Memory sticks cleared x 2, old hard drive destroyed x 1 = 3

Stuff used up and not replaced
Hair mask, face mask, scented candle, ear spray, Vit D tabs = 5

Recycled/binned
Out of date tinned food x 3, travel sweets x 2, magic sponge, stale crackers, laminated recipe cards x 10, manuals for things we no longer own x 5, trainer socks x 2, boxes for items we no longer own x 4, foil medication packs (recycled at Boots) x 5 = 33

Charity shop
New donation bag filling up. Will count when leaves the house.

Vinted
Nothing this week. Will add some more items and reduce current items this week.

All Vinted items have now been posted and most of the money is now in my account. After an initial flurry of interest in the first two/three weeks I've not had anything sell recently, so might look at one final reduction for stuff that's been favourited and if not I'll take it to the charity shop.

Offloaded a small-ish bag of school uniform to the second-hand shed and need to take a bag of recycling to the textile bin tomorrow - it is such a godsend having it on site.

@ememem84 you just reminded that I broke a glass as well on Saturday. It was only a cheap one that I got years ago from Sainsbury's but it was such a nice shape with a slight green tint and held a perfect medium glass of wine - I was so sad to lose it! I probably won't replace it as I do have some other ones from Flying Tiger, but they just aren't the same (and they are smaller!)

I took some time to list 8 items on Vinted yesterday and not only did 4 sell on the same day, also 2 old items sold! Very pleased. One kid's top which I dropped off this morning with Evri - the rest are with RM and Yodel so I have to plan those more carefully. The drop-offs aren't far but RM is next to the library and I need tor return some books too so trying to be smart about my limited time this week

So day 132 declutter - kids t-shirt

Bagged up outgrown school trousers and gym shorts.

Binned a few more scruffy drawings from primary. No doubt more will turn up from time to time, but I feel it’s well under control now. Paper bin goes out tonight for collection tomorrow.

Signed up for school car boot sale. So I’m going to do a great job at decluttering the kids rooms and cluttering up the garage for a month!

I did a lot in my room and still hit the river coz it was such a sunny day

One children's DVD and a leaflet gone.
Total is 3485

Riverswims love swimming but don't get to do it much, I wish we had a river or sea nearby that wasn't full of sewage 🤢

Morning all, i managed to post 4 vinted sales yesterday, one was a fairly large baby item that i swear followed me into every room as it was always underfoot. Im not going to list anymore until the weekend and going to rest up as I have a chest infection, plan is to restart at the weekend. Trying to get all the rooms in the house perfect before tackling the garage and attic space

@IndianSummer78I wish that for you too 🙏🏽

day 133 declutter, kids summer hat sold on Vinted. Posted this morning on way to work. Need to find time to do the rest of the items, but I'm happy to be using all my stored-up packaging stuff!

2 rubbish bin loads cleared out from the loft of doom & spied lots of other crap items to go. Off to the tip tomorrow with 2 large bags of garden waste.

Put 4 more of dd things on Vinted but not got any views, even for a new with tags Lipsy outfit. I never really understand Vinted. That's got no views but her old Cubs jumper went for £6 within ten minutes. I think she can wear it on holiday rather than try to sell it.

I did a doorstep collection last week. So easy!

3 baseball caps nobody wears
Total is 3488

Trying to get back on it with the little things.

cleared and paired odd socks and threw out 12 odd socks

And I cleared our kitchen work surface and threw away
3 old drawings/activity books
1 defunct masking tape
1 balloon animal

YTD 429 - much slower than last year!

I had two views on the Lipsy outfit. I'm not sure if Vinted somehow doesn’t put my item at the top?

I'm going to delete and relist things but if nothing sells this week I'm going to do a doorstep collection

Cleared out a book and 2 toys to a friend’s little boy

total = 502

Started on DD room. Did 1 drawer 🤣

Bin: 19x pairs outgrown socks, 1x pants,
Charity: 2x lounge trousers

Total 1077

If you want to pm me your vinted username, I can go and favourite some items for you and that usually pushes it up for the algorithm

One large primark bag of kids clothes pulled from wardrobes for the car boot. It’s not until end of June so I have time to get more stuff.

dd will be 6 end of July so I pulled all age 5 and 5-6 clothes. Ds 8 end of sept so everything age 7 pulled.

My cleaner broke a wine glass.

it’s only a cheapy from dunelm - having small kids means we don’t have nice glasses!

ins - three floral prints from charity shop, and two fun cereal bowls which go with my collection.

A recycling box full of plastic take away boxes & soup cartons I was saving just in case, for what??. Could never find the right lids, so that's that. Also not great for micro plastic particles. Got a couple of on their last legs electrical goods to go in the recycling bag. Usually they get pinched before the council collect them but that's ok if someone can make use of them.

Thank you, I'm going to remove and then reupload and them I will let you know x

Dh overloaded the washing and in turn my favorite bra has had a wire pop out. Gutted but I do need some new bras but not going to buy new ones until I am down to a more sensible number ( got loads but they aren't all great need to be more ruthless).

I on on monjaro and feeling crap today. So haven't got much done. I have cleared out the food cupboards and thrown out all out of date food with help from lovely ds. I'm clearing the counter top now. Didn't count the food as it's just rubbish but I think I will say three items as it was three carrier bags full.

Note to self to just have maybe 5 tins of each max going forward. I can't see what it's in the back and I all honesty we only need beans, chopped tomatoes and a few soups. I can buy tinned coconut etc as I need it. Still it's not to bad.
