Declutter challenge – 25 Oct 08

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008


Please encourage all your blog friends to join us in decluttering by using the button on your sidebar. Christmas is just around the corner and you need to start taking action so that you don’t just fill up all the spaces you’ve already decluttered.


The Declutter Tip for the week

Return other people’s stuff. Or better still, don’t let it get into your house in the first place :)

Sometimes we get things from well-meaning friends and family that we really don’t want, but because we don’t want to hurt their feelings, we take the items.

Stop doing that.

Work out what to say beforehand so you’re not taken unaware – “no thanks, we don’t need one of those/ more glasses/ more mugs” so you’re ready when it happens again, because it will :)

If you’ve borrowed something from a friend, return it as quickly as possible so it doesn’t become your clutter.

This week, I decluttered bits and pieces around the house that were taking up space. The white thing is what goes on top of my broken kitchen scale.

Have you seen my GORGEOUS new red kitchen scale?

Some plastic containers, an old keyring and old chocolates – all out!

What did you declutter this week?

Please link to the post on your blog where you show off your pictures or talk about the declutter. Or if you don’t have a blog, tell me in the comments about ANYTHING you got rid of this week.

It can be anything like physical, electronic, mental clutter or even the need to be a certain way. Like perfectionism! :)

I want you to leave a comment telling me what you’re going to declutter next week, just for accountability :)
