2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

have been awol due to twisting knee on the 12th. i thought it had recovered, overdid it, knee collapsed from under me monday and have spent time in bed pretty much ever since. so the very good news is...

• i have been enjoying my tidy decluttered bedroom :A
• when my best friend came to help pack away a room for the decorator there was a lot less stuff to move :A
• when i have needed my friend or my mum to get me things i have known where they are (unheard of!!!) :A

so for anyone with any lingering doubts, it is most definitely worth the declutter. Can't wait till i can start again (but will don't worry)
Till then i'll continue reading all your fantastic efforts
oh and although im' not currently :j i have carefully made it downstairs :beer: my friend who is currently staying has been dispatched to the chippy for celebratory fish and chips

Donated from loft:
111:bag of recyclables,donated to the school's nursery class.Teacher was very appreciative: "Oh,I am sure we can incorporate those when we make a dragon next week" :rotfl:

Decluttered from house:
164:thinned out a pretty box of papers on top of Welsh dresser
165:thinned out a second pretty box on top of Welsh dresser

I am only working a couple of hours tomorrow.Hope to go to the tip and the charity shop after that,so will have a bit more to list.

I started a good habit today (hopefully!).With all this paper I have been decluttering this week,it makes me realise what a muddle it gets in,and I really should either deal or dispose.Why do I save stuff for so long?So,having received mail for the first time this week,I read the mail (2 identical letters from the secondary school my 2 eldest go to ),took note,then put them straight out for recycling :T.

Ooooh,house feel considerably lighter this afternoon :j:j.
Have been to the tip and charity shop.

Out from the loft:
112:very large bag of plastic toys-tip
113:old broken light shade-tip
114:broken iron-tip
115:large collection of plastic containers and lids with no lids and containers :rotfl:.-tip
116-118:3 cookbooks-charity shop

From around the house:
166:old baking tray with layer peeling off :eek:-tip
167:bundle of polystyrene-tip
168:drawer from our old kitchen,which had been filled with stufff to be decluttered-tip
To charity shop:
169-179:children's clothes
180-187:scarves
188-194:dress-up stuff
195:miniature UNO card game
196:bag of crayons
197 pair of cheerleeding pom poms
198-203:children's books
204:[STRIKE]something else I can't read in my own hand-writing[/STRIKE]:eek::rotfl:
Edit: it says index-card holder..I mentioned a few days ago that my partner gave it to me years ago.I was going to use it for those lists you only need to add to occasionally.I went to use it the other day,but it really was no good.Rather than lines printed acrosss the page, they went down,so you would have had to turn the folder around through 90 degrees to write in it.Bettwr to donate this,and use a notepad (or bundles of paper I am recycling).

I have an unusual event today as both the kids are at sleepovers from just after lunch.. I can never remember this happening. I really can't decide what to do! It will be so quiet.


Although part of me thinks i should do something fan the other part thinks that as it is cold why don't I blitz the jobs i never get round to as too busy sorting their activities and declutter so that when weather is better my mind is free from all the things i need to get done?!
