I’m linking up once again to Nony @ A Slob Comes Clean to account for how I’ve done on the decluttering challenge to (in my case):
Declutter 1825 Things in 365 Days (that’s five-a-day)
Declutter 1825 Things in 365 Days (that’s five-a-day)
Thanks again for hosting Nony!
This month’s update will actually be four months’ worth of decluttering as between morning sickness and general pregnancy fatigue I took a sabbatical from the decluttering and time online. I came back with a vengeance this month though!

2 whole heaps of random papers from my filing system/crafting
2 colouring pencil boxes
1 university programme (from my graduation which I didn’t attend)

Wow! You did a fantastic job!
And congratulations on the pregnancy! What a wonderful reason to give yourself some rest time!
I think growing a wee one's a cracking reason for taking a sabbatical (congratulations) -hope you're back to feeling human now?
I am in AWE that you managed to ditch some of your crafty bits... I've got all of my rubbish contained but I really need to have a go over it and get rid of the things I'm rotten at that bring me no joy. Right. That's an august goal!
