Ooh I am going to give this a try! We need to get our house ready for sale so I can't see my DH complaining about a bit of decluttering... If anyone knows of a family in Perth who needs baby clothes (girl or boy, from 0000 to about 0) let me know I have a whole heap to pass on. I have already cleared one bag of old recipe books :)

not the cooking books kath

Having a break from cleaning the bedroom. Getting rid of all my size 6 & 8 clothes. I will never be that size again.
Hanging onto to the 10's (still hopeful).
After Dizzy bumped the wedding photo thread, I new something i can get rid of out of the freezer. The wedding cake from my first marriage. 32 years I've been moving it from home to home. Time it went.

Definately time it went Michele.

Have nearly finished the bedroom. 3 bags of rubbish. A bag to put on ebay. 2 bags to donate.
Haven't done the dressing table yet. That's 11 bags all up.

I'm so annoyed with myself for having all this excess.

Michele, I'm sure that old wedding cake wouldn't have tasted any good.  Good for you for hanging onto it for so long.   I am not so sentimental and in my latest cleanout of wardrobes, out went the outfit both DH and myself wore on our wedding day, a couple of weeks shy of 25 years ago. Old fashioned and would never be worn again so my head ruled my heart this time. I'll post a photo of a photo in the wedding photo section.

Today I took another couple of bag so 10 so far. DH kindly did a big clear out and found  he could get rid of 2 whole shirts. Not even a bag full. Now if I had gone through his stuff........

I am going to struggle to find much more but I have not tackled the laundry yet. So still some hope.

LOL...2 shirts. My DH got rid of a pair of shoes and a years subscription (2002) of better homes and gardens magazines.
He doesn't know about the latter.

Mcmich he has more clothes and shoes than I do.  I could get ten bags outta his closet in about 2 minutes flat.
