Declutter November is under way!

Posted by louisa on Tuesday 1 November 2011 in decluttering | 10 comments

I mentioned last week that I’m going to set myself a decluttering “challenge” for November – get rid of one thing every day.

I’m also going to set some weekly themed mini-challenges to get rid another five things each week, so by the end of the month, 50 things should be gone from the house.

It’s a bit of a two-fold plan: 1) get rid of some unwanted junk and 2) by doing it daily for a sustained period to make me more conscious of the stuff around me and look at things in a new “do we need or even want this?” light.

I asked if anyone else fancied a clearout too and a good few people jumped on board:

• Gemma
• John, my partner in crime – we’ll be getting rid of 50 things each!
• Lynsey aka Swirlyarts
• Louba
• Jules
• Linda
• Gigibird
• Sam
• sara
• Courtney
• Rachel
• Ellen Perrin
• @Eco_Chicken
• UPDATED TO ADD: SMSDesignJewel
• Debbie
• katherine
• Susan
• Martina
• bookstorebabe
• greenandtidy
• Su

Collectively, we’re going to get rid of a lot of junk!

I’ll announce the first mini-challenge this afternoon but until then crew (and anyone else who wants to join in!), let’s take off our clutter blinkers and get going! :)

Anyone else up for it? If so, leave a comment below and I’ll add you to the list

UPDATED TO ADD: I’ve add the new sign-ups to the list – 21 22 of us at this count. That’s means over a thousand things are going to leave our collective houses – yay!
