The Great Declutter Part 2

Yorkielass

Our spare strawberry plants given away at work.

Other than that failing completely with decluttering at the moment

Evening all!!

I have been fairly good this past few days

In- some Home Bargains shopping (household bits, mainly)

Out - Magazines, donated to the surgery reception
Other bit of junk mail, paperwork etc- recycled mostly

Sorted - More stuff for table top sale, mostly priced up and boxed, ready to go on sat
Office- we have a purpose built home office/study and I am trying to keep it tidy(ish) so experimenting with storage solutions

Mineallmine - my thoughts are with you at this horrid time, it certainly stops you in your tracks. I think that's why I am having trouble clearing out the big shed, most of it still has OHs tools and stuff in.

Anyway, not much de-cluttering for me today was back at work but forgot to take back all the things I have belonging to colleagues! Still, there is always tomorrow.

Take care all.

Thanks camelot1001. Hugs to you dealing with OH stuff. Do you have any male relatives or friends that could use some of the stuff? It must be so hard to deal with that. So a cup of tea and try and sort a handful of things at a time. No rush. :A

So glad to hear MegsMum has bought the campervan now. Look forward to hearing about your adventures - maybe decluttering stuff and selling on ebay or boot sale can buy new nice stuff for the campervan or fuel to get you away for the weekend. :A

No decluttering for me. Feel exhausted. My loved one did sort out some cat bits for a local cat charity who were very grateful. So have 1 item to add to the total.

And if the sun is shining, let's enjoy it! I once laid a blanket outside on the lawn and sorted papers and bits. Much nicer than indoors :cool:

Not done too much today as I was working this morning, then had dentist this afternoon, but I got rid of some cardboard packaging, an empty face cream jar, empty deodorant can, and some paper for recycling. Put some blank audio cassettes and some old videos in box for charity shop, got a few more items listed on Freecycle, and found another couple of bits to try to sell on E-bay. Also had some fruit which had gone bad so put it on the compost.

Hugs

Morning all! Still not much happening here

OUT:
recalled baby sling - finally printed the details and will post it later. Part sent back, part put in bin. Packaging (still BN unused in box) recycled
LOTS of paperwork recycled along with newspapers, magazines

DONE:
relocated more items into DS2 & DS3 bedrooms
Sorted too small DS3 clothes to NCT box (sale in July)
3 items of DD's clothes put in NCT box
Fireguard put up and DS3 keeps attacking the 'coal'
Old duvet cover used as fireguard store in garage recycled, as when we are finished with fireguard this time it will be going - I'm not having any more babies
Lots of seeds planted. All the potatoes finally planted. One compost bin emptied and moved.

A little bit of progress is being made - but not nearly enough However, I think I am getting a cleaner in for 3hours a week, starting in a fortnight - yeay! That'll help, because I am really struggling at the mo, and DH is getting annoyed at the state of the place

Beautiful morning here

I think that's a good idea greent. After all, you've had a big operation and you've got 4 littlies. Something has t give and if you can afford it then it's best to just suck it up as it'll improve your lives.

Hi - still trying to keep up with the thread, but don't get much chance to post lately - anyway, since last post not too much gone on:

IN: 4x kilner jars from a lovely lady on Freegle - perfect for my baking ingredients!

OUT:
1x potty and toilet seat with step to DD2's playgroup - she no longer needs them as she is a big girl now and can get onto the toilet - but have had to keep her stool because she can't quite reach the sink yet lol!

4x bags of clothes to school clothing collection

DONE:
-planted peas, tomatos, lettuce and carrots
- washed DS quilt and bedding, have put on spare quilt 'til his is ready - aired his pillow outside.
- washed up

It's supposed to be nice again this weekend so hoping to get something done, although DS has got his St George Parade on Sunday for cubs - they walk through the town centre before having a service in the parish church - it's a really nice event.

Have fun everybody!

Thanks mineallmine, will probably do that as I have no idea what most of the things are! Think OH liked his power tools!

Just usual household rubbish out today, will try to do more over the weekend.
