in_spired2

Good evening peeps
I didn't declutter much today

in: nothing

out:
3 vhs tapes
3 keys

put away:
bag of cardboard and other packaging which I've had close to hand when I had things listed on ebay - now in garage until i list more.

that's 13/100 with 8 days to go. I need to declutter more tomorrow than I managed today if I want to stay on track with the target

My house IS looking much tidier lately

So far today (day 1!) I have:-

2. Actually put clothes away after washing!!
3. Did the mountain of washing up
4. Put sleeping bag back in understairs cupboard (was being used as a daytime duvet after my op 4 weeks ago :eek:)

Out

• My old sky+ box which died on Saturday
• Bleach bottle which has been upside down for a month
• Shower gel bottle with a smidge in it (used up and recycled)
• 2 film canisters with dried up foundation in
• Empty deo can
• Empty plaster box ?? (recycled)

　
In

Hi All - had a very energetic day yesterday - more of a "putting stuff away properly" day rather than actually chucking out/recycling (having said that there are 3 bags for the bin, 1 sack of plastic and 1 bag of paper/card standing ready to go out of the back door as I type!).
So they are all on my "Out" list along with an old curtain rail, books for cs and various old clothes (bin).
In - groceries

Must dash - cake in the oven!

morning all

IN
shopping - in and put away
Cards -birthdays and mothers days - will be going out before the weekend
£25 cheque - dentist finally admitted hed overcharged us and gave the money back:T


tidied the puter table DD has handed in the final copy of her essay so the 3 books shes been working from and the 5 rough draughts are up in her room.
sorted out my overpayment and pension sign up so all paperwork to that can be filed away. I thought they would realise i wasnt working for them when i rang and told them to stop paying me and sent 2 months overpaid wages back but no they signed me up to their pension scheme. i rang and told them how generous it was giving me a £700+ a year pension when id only paid in £2.20:rotfl:. Hopefully it is all sorted now and i am out of their pension plan. That £2.20 was generating way too much paperwork.;).

got some sewing to finish of and some more knitting planed for a local fundraiser then ill have a few bags of stuff out for that.

have agood day all

One of them now full of filing - can`t file papers until I have sorted the files out
One has note books, plastic wallets - why do I have 3 packets of them.

Large pile of papers to be used as scrap paper

Out
1 broken calculator
1 broken mobile
1 mobile charger (don`t know what phone it was for)
Diaries back to 2003 (why did I keep them?)

Also found 1 mobile phone/no charger. I think it still works - what shall I do with that?
Old passport photos :eek:

:hello: I know it's a bit late in the year, but could I join the coven please?! My house is in such a state all the time and it's beginning to really get on my nerves. Does anyone else find they're the only ones who seem to do any housework??

The wake up call came when my Dad gave us a mini camcorder and my DS2 went around the house filming and commentating saying things like "and this is our hall, clutter clutter" "this is the messy bathroom" "this is the worst room" (his and DD's bedroom) where he promptly fell over and said "see what I mean?!" Very funny but very embarrassing .

We have lived in this house for 6 years and still have unopened boxes in the bedrooms and attic. And don't get me started on the understairs cupboard!!! :rotfl:

I'm going to have a read over the pages and then come back with an action plan. I may not be able to post every day, but I'll try for a weekly update.

Does he ever do any of his own tidying? I find my DH moans most about our so called clutter but never actually does anything about it. That's all down to me and apparently it's all my stuff. Men!
