The Great Declutter - 18 months on

calleyw

Hello not been on for while seems that everyone is still doing a little bit.

Well I have not done a lot

IN: Food but don't really count that well 6 chickens from Asda as they are £2 each, 3 X hair dyes for my mother

OUT: One dodgy radio taken back for a refund but no replacement want to cry. Two bags of shredding compacted in to one and then taken down the shed :rotfl:Some rubbish out. And if I got room in the car a full length mirror that needs to be taken down the tip.

Some bread rolls and a chicken to be taken up to my mums. Hair dye went out friday when my dad came and picked something up from me.

Just lost the de-clutter bug at the moment. if anyone sees it sling it back my way :rotfl:


Yours

Calley

Hello all!

Having caught up with the thread I'd like to join in please.

Theoretically I've been following flylady for the last 2.5 years, but hardly at all in reality recently. I'd like to get our house in order (mostly) before Xmas & definitely by next March. We're expecting child no 4 in May, & I'd like it all sorted before then! I don't think there's *too* much clutter, but it IS vastly untidy, so some clutter does hide in the mess at teh mo. I was on top of it at one point but various things led me back downwards:o

Today:
IN - small amount of food shopping
OUT - 2 videos were *meant* to be collected by a freecycler, but are still sat outside (were originally meant to be collected yesterday :mad: ) - maybe tomorrow??

We have an NCT sale locally in a couple of weeks, so I need to sort some stuff for that (I've got my sellers pack in a drawer) - but no doubt I'll get some stuff at it too :rotfl:

Ah well, another week starts tomorrow;)

So for me since my last update,
In: 2 new lights and 1 set of door knobs. 1 light already connected, other still in box and waiting. Door knobs can be connected when door is fully stripped and painted.
1 piece of coving, chopped up and stuck to ceiling.
Nits, courtesy of DD's school.
Out: lots of buckets from the hoover. Offcuts from the coving. General rubbish. Nits.

We have decided that we want the dining room finished by Christmas. Don't know if it's doable but it needs to be presentable enough to have people round over Christmas holidays.
DH cracking on and painting skirting boards, door frame, door and wall so we can move sofa (still not got it back into lounge). I've managed to clear the ironing pile for the time being, gotta get kitchen cleared now!
Next weekend we need to get the cupboard under the stairs emptied out into the kitchen and sort it out. Once that's done we can put the electrics in there and put the freezer in there from the dining room. I can then empty it and strip it.
Lots more decluttering to go methinks!
And NITS- I HATE 'EM!

Day 1

Taken today fairly easy as 4 / 5 of us have been ill. BUT:

In:
nothing

Out:
large bag of plastic bottles and large box of cardboard to recycling at supermarket
newspapers/ magazines and fair sized paperwork sat in a pile (rest of paperwork needs further sorting/ filing, but 'rubbish' now got rid of)
2 carrier bags of plastic bags to recycling (online deliveries from shops which insist on using bags)
Couple of toys of DS1's which didn't survive him being sick over :-(

Still haven't had my freecycler arrive or reply to email - sometimes it seems far more hassle than it's worth :-(

Sorry I have been so long before posting but yesterday a whole car full of absolutely worthless clutter went to the tip.

I haven't caught up since I last posted. I am thinking very carefully about how much I want to hold on to things. I believe I want them less and less.

Not actually got rid of anything, but two skirts and a pair of shoes have gone from the "unwearable til repaired" pile back to their proper places in the wardrobe and shoerack respectively. So its sort of decluttering.:D
