The holey face cloth hits me deep… earlier I put into the textile recycling a looney tunes flannel I’ve had since I was probably single digits and had somehow formed an emotional attachment to?! I gave myself a talking to and put it in the pile with a few other (not as old) ones!The bathroom is a really easy place to start as there are usually a handful of lotions and potions which you last used 3 years ago - and are you REALLY going to use the pink box-dye?Plus permission granted to bin the holey face cloths, manky loofahs and pumice stone containing 3649 unique strains of bacteria.
Bet you can find 5 random pieces of shite in the kitchen drawers too. Hello Nepalese hand-crafted salad servers, dog shaped biscuit cutters and a bag of screws left over from an ikea Billy bookcase.
5 things in a week is child’s play. 5 things per room minimum and you can do the bathroom and kitchen today. Boil the kettle and do the kitchen - and next time you go to the loo do the bathroom.
I actually enjoyed the cutlery drawer. Moved onto crockery and have donated excess to my local church for their kitchen stock.I've sorted out the cutlery drawer. It's a really easy way to get rid of 5 items, nearly every home has loads of random knives and forks from long-ago cutlery sets, assorted chopsticks, bottle openers, weirdly shaped spoons, pastry brushes with 3 bristles or less, rusty can openers, etc, etc. I treated myself to a new drawer divider, the spare teaspoons have been donated to the work kitchen, everyone's a winner!
Next stop...that kitchen drawer where the string, sellotape, screws, nails and fuses, assorted elastic bands, and those little plastic bits of tat that you get in Christmas crackers, are all kept. Wish me luck, I'm going in!
Good excuse to eat Ferraro rocher tooI actually enjoyed the cutlery drawer. Moved onto crockery and have donated excess to my local church for their kitchen stock.
When you do the kitchen drawer you can use the Ferrero Rocher plastic boxes with the lids. I can get at least 3 in my small drawers to separate out things like batteries.
I also use them in my bedside drawers too.

I done my herbs/spices recently and it was very therapeutic. Need to tackle the cupboards next.I’m being pulled in all directions this week and I’m exhausted.
I have a few hours to myself on Sunday though, and in a slight change of plan, I’m going to clear out my cleaning cupboard and food cupboard old jars of herbs and nearly empty cleaning products that I’ve not really liked, should mean I’ll easily get rid of at least 5 things!
Yeah, I’d make the baby clothes one big bundle. Also ebay no longer charges fees for selling second hand clothing so try and see if you could sell the bundle on thereSo far so good. Have decluttered some skincare and makeup (shared on the Share Your Empties thread) but so far decluttered 16 products. Sorted out the baby clothes yesterday that no longer fit my youngest. Have kept the suit that he and my eldest wore home from the hospital and put aside a few nicer bits to sell on Vinted. Rest of the stuff I'll put as a bundle on Faceboon Marketplace. With the bundle should I just keep it as newborn to first month clothes or add in the 0-3 months too? It's a decent sized bundle already but is limited by size. Any thoughts? Also, would weeding count as decluttering the garden?
