Slow and small progress, hindered by the decorating - this has meant more time 1. decorating (obviously), 2. more time cleaning dust/shrapnel from decorating than making progress on decluttering.
But having said that I've got a couple more books and DVDs into the boxes/bags to go - actually had someone go through the main DVD bag and take the ones they want/are interested in. Also took part in a gift card exchange and slipped in with each of the cards a little homemade decoration that had been left over from last year's making of decorations as gifts. So a little added extra for the people expecting just cards - hopefully they'll like the thought, if not the actual decoration.
Bought a new shower curtain yesterday and disposed of the old one today - so that was a straight swop, but apart from that I've largely avoided bringing anything into the house that isn't a gift for someone else - also when my sister asked me what I'd like for Christmas, I gave her a couple of DVDs for me that I had pre-ordered that had just arrived and I hadn't opened yet. When I'd ordered them, I hadn't realised they'd be out so near to Christmas, so it makes life simpler for her and cuts down on things coming into the house for me. Plus it gives me a little more time to get through the ones I've already got waiting.
