We have had a productive evening tonight and have been up in our loft decluttering. Hopefully we will be having a car boot sale this weekend sometime so we have put aside a heap of stuff that we want to get rid of. The loft is beginning to look clearer, in the ten years since my daughter came along we have periodically used it as a dumping ground. We have sectioned little areas which is a bit more organised. We have an area of stuff to keep, decorating stuff, Christmas stuff and other areas not yet tackled. It is more tidy instead of just being a big room full of junk. We had empty cardboard boxes just lying around, they have gone. Lots of toys and baby stuff to go, despite pulling on the heart strings we have been a bit ruthless to get rid of the clutter and hopefully make some money. Realistically she will never play/wear the stuff again so it makes sense for it to go and also when the joyous day arrives that we finally sell our house, we would have to sort it all out anyway. Hopefully the little bit of time we spend decluttering now will save us time and effort later. My daughter has been out today so it was good to sort out in her absence, because she keeps putting everything back in her room !
Great decluttering! Good luck at the boot sale!

You have certainly been very busy having a sort out. I know when I used to do an odd car boot sale my children started looking at there toys in a new light! & wanted them back when they saw them on a pasting table!(they had not been looked at for the past few years!)Be prepared!xx
ReplyDeleteIf you are not busy, could you pop rund and declutter my loft for me please??
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, it is such a mammoth task. Already my daughter has asked if she can look through and put some stuff back in her bedroom. Grrrr !!
