Declutter with A Thrifty Mum


So after my admission that I am something of a hoarder.  I have been putting a decluttering task a day on A Thrifty Mum Facebook page.  

This week I have decluttered the following:


  1. My sock and underwear drawer
  2. My shoes (which was hard as I have never thrown a pair of shoes away in my adult life)
  3. My bedside cabinet.

I have been ruthless and have binned things that are no longer of use, recycled, donated and also listed some items on ebay.  

Tomorrow I am going to post a list of other tasks one for each day of next week.  I figure Sunday is a day of rest, plus it is the last day before the boys go back to school, so I want to spend it doing family stuff.

Decluttering Tips


My tips for decluttering are really simple.  Focus on one area at a time.  Make sure you are not just moving things, but to actually make sure you have a place for them or put them in your recycle, donate or sell boxes.

Who is up for joining me?

Dumping the tumble dryer and Ecoforce giveaway

We have a tumble dryer, but it broke before christmas and we  couldn't afford to get it repaired, so I have been managing with an old fashioned wooden clothes rail and hanging bedding over the doors to dry, This last would of weeks however, I have been hanging the washing outside and it has been drying much quicker and with less creases, so I am going to take the plunge and instead of getting the dryer replaced I am going to give it away. Ecoforce heard me on twitter bemoaning the fact that I was chasing laundry round the garden as my pegs were not working and very kindly sent me some of their Ecoforce pegs to try and they have been fab.
