Don't think that counts Amy  ;)  - how are your knees now anyway?

I am going to join this challenge next week, as I have a few days annual leave. I might have to condense the 40 days down to 4!

When my partner (who is now my husband) moved in together a couple of years ago we had to fit 2 households worth of things into 1 house. Of course it didn't fit and we had to get an offsite storage shed. Even though we have given heaps & heaps of things away and to charity, the storage shed is still full. I'm going to be ruthless and get rid of as much of it as I can next week. It's all got to go!

That's great Katie. Storage is expensive.
DH and I had to get a storage shed too when we first got married. Combining two households is a challenge.
I have lost count of the bags (not that it matters) and haven't done any in the past week and a half due to all the extra shifts I've taken on.
Will have to get back into it.

Aww!!! :-)) ;D
They are getting better thanks Astarra :) They have nice thick scabs on them, which look pretty gross, but I can see the skin healing around the edges. Its still very pink and tender though.
They'll get there :D :D :D And I have learned a valuable lesson, that is if you're going to trip while running on a treadmill, try to fall off rather than stay on the thing!

Well done Robyn  :)

I haven't even made it to my storage shed yet and I'm already half way to my 40 bags.  Amazing what you can find to get rid of when you really start looking.

Very inspired by this thread to de clutter some of my clothes. My DH and two of DD's are going to visit our family in UK next week. I will be home alone most of the time. I probably won't cook for myself while they are away, unless my other DD is home.  So I plan on cleaning out big time.  I wish I was going with them now..... I decided not to earlier in the year when they got tickets 😒they will miss my birthday and fathers day! But great they Get to see family Nan turns 99!

I was only thinking about this thread over the weekend. Since DSD moved back into the granny flat (minus the cat, thank goodness) I have had to start clearing out the wardrobes etc.
Unfortunately she wants closet space as well as somewhere to stay.  :-))

And shoes, giving me a run for my money. A bit of an Imelda Marcos. Sadly we aren't the same size  :(

Maybe I could get DSD doing the challenge?
