unclutter | haphazard decluttering (Reply)

In the last week, I (with appropriate assistance) have at least partially uncluttered the following:

3 small shelves of picture books - about 20cm of children's books, some gone to new home already
DVD collection - about 50cm of mostly non-fiction and children's. 7 have been rehomed, the rest to go.
adult books - three unloved items identified. Yet to do anything with these.
bathroom cabinets (both the under the sink, and the wall mounted lockable medicine cabinet) - out of date medicine, several near empty boxes of sticking plasters consolidated and the boxes thrown out, random accumulated plastic containers. Also, ~1 cup of broken pegs (I always plan to fix them, and it is the cupboard closest to the washing line). Apart from the medicine, everything went into the rubbish - too hard to sort the tiny things.

and in previous week (? timing uncertain) also found 3 Vogue sewing patterns I'm never going to make, and put them in the Box To Go.

Plus, the kids are starting to bring out clothes that they don't want/fit any more, so I'm accumulating a pile of those to deal with.

Not quite one thing a day - I've had spare time, and a couple of areas where I was looking for something it was easier to pull everything out and put it back in order or we were reshelving, so it was a good time to have a coarse level cull.

Current declutter goal: have all the books on shelves once the current bookshelf repair is done (ie. we will get rid of the temp bookshelves, and the stashed books in the games room will either go on the repaired shelves, or out).
