The decluttering continues...
I have decided that to keep me on track and enthusiastic about decluttering my home, I need to record my success. It's alright me saying that I sorted out 8 books that I never wish to read (I did that), but they haven't actually left the house yet. They are with the huge stash of things that I have decided to get rid of, but they are still causing unecessary clutter!
So, from now on, I will record here on my blog, what has actually left the house. I will number the items so I can try to achieve a goal. I am starting at 100 items by Easter. I think I can do this! This bit is going to be a bit boring, but I need to do it.

- biscuit tin - given to my son's girlfriend to store her baking in
- 'Style at Home' magazine' - given to my son's girlfriend
Well that's 33 items, so I will probably reach my target before Easter!
I am also concentrating on recycling within the home and upcycling, making use of what we already have and not being so wasteful.
Our recent gas and electric bills were HUGE so that is one area needing instant attention.
I made a quick tea of corned beef hash yesterday:
- peel and chop up some potatoes into cubes then parboil
- finely slice an onion and fry
- add sliced corned beef
- add a tin of beans
- drain the potatoes and add to the pan
- keep an eye on it so it doesn't stick to the pan
- you could add worcester sauce (I've run out!)
It doesn't look that nice, but it tastes lovely!
