93. Reduce toiletries by half
94. Clear out and organise the junk room
I spent a few days last month dejunking, first by sorting out the junk room and then other bits and bobs, like my vast toiletries collections.
Out of the junk room, 8 black bin bags of rubbish went to the tip, a large box of paper and bin bag with cardboard were recycled and Marie Curie gained 6 bags with 66 items (#95). I ran out of time to properly reorder but that will be done asap and is already in a far better state than it was before and I think it can be striked off as done.
My toiletries collection was embarrassingly huge and I was to ashamed to count it! My mum worked for Boots for 25 years and I had so much free stuff from her over the years plus the unused bits from far too many Christmas gift sets. I had a full shelf in the bathroom, a set of 3 plastic drawers which were full, my bedside drawer which had been stuffed full for an ashamedly long time plus other bits scattered around. I now only have my shelf and my bedside drawer and think I managed to reduce my collection by about 75%, yay! My MiL and girls from Stitch and Bitch all smell lovely now!
I’ve felt like a burdening weight has been lifted and boy does it feel good!
