declutter: use up/throw out 43 things

Had a major blitz of the kitchen cupboard and chucked out a load of out of date tins, which i’m counting as one ‘item’. Also decided to finally get rid of the old kettle in the cupboard that was being kept as a ‘spare’....hmm, who actually has a ‘spare’ kettle anyway???

This weekend I decided to go through all the lotions and potions in the bathroom and throw out anything I hadn’t used in the last 6 months. Although I ended up chucking out about 10 things, i’m counting it as one ‘item’.

As a separate ‘item’ i’m counting the Santuary body wash that I finished this week as i’d deliberately made myself stick to that one product till it was all gone.

I didn’t actually plan on starting this today but noticed a jar of ‘Real Ale Chutney’ in the fridge that I bought for my Husband absolutely ages ago.

I checked the Best Before Date and sure enough, it went out of date back in June 2006!! So that was the first victim of my declutter goal…items in my house beware!!
