Having read on another blog (I'll get the link if I can remember whose it was) about decluttering, and knowing full well that I have far too much stuff, I decided that if I could offload one item per day for the whole year, that would be 365 items. Obviously I have a bit of catching-up to do as I've only just started, but here are my first 18 items
Five ancient feather cushions with crocheted covers, the cushions have been moulting feathers for ages, the crocheted covers weren't clean and weren't even finished off properly, so these went straight into the dustbin.
Four books, which will be donated to family members on my up-coming next trip
and a bag for the charity shop with one dress, never worn and still with a label attached, a hand-knitted scarf, two jigsaw puzzles, and 5 hats - a couple of winters ago I had a real thing for hats, and bought loads (mostly second-hand, but some new), then last winter and this current winter I've just been wearing two or three of my favourites, so the rest can go elsewhere.
I have a few ideas about where to look for more things I don't want or need.

That is definitely a good haul - I need to have a sort out too, my plan is to choose a small section and completely blitz it (a drawer or cupboard at a time) I started early January and then stopped, need to get back to it!
