Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! De-cluttering is my favourite thing. Are we able to post update pictures?

Please!I love seeing update pics.It motivates me even more than reading all the great progress.But I guess that's because I'm a visual person.

I'm a little late but I'm in! We're moving this year and I haven't decluttered in probably 3 years!!

[goobergrl6]

Dh had a phone call to take while we were watching biggest loser so I did some in the LR. Took a bunch of movies out of their cases and put them in the binder we have for movies and then did some video cames as well. Tossed the cases and a few other random things. So 27 more things!

[mamameliaISback]

Cool! Will do

I won't be able to do 'before' photos of my bedroom or the lounge room because I already de-cluttered those areas before I joined the challenge. I can do pictures of: The spare room, the computer room, the kid's room, the kitchen and the laundry.

I did not start last night as I slept unusually early, but I'm about to have my coffee and go nuts!!

Ah thanks So are you! You'll be flying along in the kitchen

A quick warning to everyone.... when decluttering the utility room, try not to drop a scissors on your foot. Take it from me, it hurts! (My foot survived, thankfully I was wearing very thick socks and slippers so I just have a bruise rather than a severed foot ) Decluttering is dangerous work!

[mumkimum]

Cleaned out dd's art stuff & put things away in the attic (so, pulled out other stuff to discard in both places).

1 big bag paper
1 garland
3 small toys
13 asst. holiday decorations
5 misc books
4 stuffed animals
