We have many things tucked away in cupboards, sitting on shelves or up in the loft that haven't been used for literally years. Many items kept just in case we need them at some point when in reality they just keep gathering dust. I've decided to go through everything & those things that are dust gatherers are being sold, offered on freecycle, sent to a charity shop or binned depending on what they are.
I started doing this in January by going through the kitchen first. I offered items on freecycle, sent some to the charity shop & binned loads. I was amazed at just how many kitchen things we had tucked in those cupboards that never saw the light of day. I've also gone through our books & listed many on Amazon for sale. I've done really well so far & have become a regular at our local post office. As long as I make £1 profit I've been listing them. You do need to weight them all & work out postage costs just to make sure it's worth listing them on Amazon.
I've gone through all the wardrobes & bagged up all the clothes that are no longer worn, don't fit etc & have either sent them to a charity shop or put them in a recycling bin. I will be following the same rules when it comes to clothes shopping, if it's not a necisity I wont buy it.
I'm going to keep working my way through the house as & when I get the chance.
