Everyone is doing well. I haven't been on here in ages, but have been decluttering slowly but surely (I've realised it's an ongoing, forever thing).

IN

Groceries
Face moisturiser

OUT

A couple of items sold on Amazon (some of DS2s stuff - he gets the money so has had a really good clear out)
Sack of stuff for the charity shop

PENDING

More stuff to be listed on Amazon (DS2s stuff)
A bag of books and clothes for SIL

Done just a little bit this week, my leg means its mostly downstairs stuff but every little helps

IN:
All groceries for next weeks dinners (DH now trained!).
'Rescued' geraniums from GC - marked down but 11 should survive for £1.
More seed potatoes - DH wanted me to grow rooster.

OUT:
Rummaged through some paperwork for recycling/shredding.
DH mowed lawns, sorted bits for bonfire and cleared patio so I can get outside.
Present wrapped and ready to go for nephew.
Some ebay packages for the PO, more listed.

Its slow on one leg but each item chucked/sold/recycled is a major achievement.
Well done to the rest of you.

Am seeing a chink of light at the end of the tunnel... The nicer weather is helping to motivate me as well, I think

Reporting back - a bit late but didn't get a chance last night.

Filing all done, lots of receipts sorted and the 'stuff' on the floor on the office so that's good and will carry on this week, and with the Mystery shopping stuff too, not as much as I'd hoped but better than nothing.

The only things can came into the house all weekend have been eaten already so that's good.

Also did a bit of a sort out and tidy away of my 'cosmetic stash' in the bedroom so feeling quite positive about it all - just need to keep going!

IN = new pair of shoes
OUT = nothing, oh dear.

I took something back to a supermarket last night (non food) that I bought a few weeks ago and it was the wrong size and got a refund - so that's something out of my house!

Just food and a magazine in this week so far so doing ok - more paperwork sorting tonight I think :rolleyes:
