A little carried away

So apparently this decluttering thing is quite addictive. Day one I chose 3 cookbooks I no longer had any use for. Day two I managed to let go of another nine items. And it just kind of snowballed from there. And so at the end of week one, instead of parting with 21 items, as I expected, the count is up to 206.

For my own records, here's a summary of what went this week:
8 cookbooks
1 invitation to a Hens Day

12 pairs of shoes
8 pairs of PJ's - and I still have an entire drawerful!
1 bookmark
47 items of clothing
29 playstation games

1 playstation
22 pieces of underwear

3 handbags
1 coin purse
2 belts
3 scarves - what does an Aussie need with 5 scarves? I'm only keeping two.
7 pairs of socks
8 small bottles of perfume
1 sample pack of Mary Kay cleanser & moisturiser
1 small bag of broken bits of jewellery

1 keyring
3 necklaces
3 bracelets
1 cuff
6 pairs of earrings
1 badge
19 hair accessories - ties, combs, clips etc.
15 make-up items - some more than 5 years old, yuck!

hehe I think we need to do something like that when we get back to Australia. There is way too much junk in storage!
