The Great Declutter Part 2

longhotbath

out 1 bag stuff to a friend. Found the dining room dresser, but sitting room is now a tip as still sorting out.

in - 2 bags of baking stuff and cake tin & carrying container to make ds1's birthday cake. It would have been cheaper to buy it!! Tried out my recipe - made a pancake flat cake, and yes, I did use self raising flour.

HELP!!!!!


Will try another recipe tomorrow....

Not managed much at all in the way of outs . I do seem to have a huge amount of stuff coming IN though. I need to reverse the trend.
DH spent >£130 this weekend on shoes, clothes for him and the kids and food shopping :eek:. Now I need to get everything cleared away so that there's somewhere to put it all.
I did a marathon clean and tidy on Monday last week and by Monday evening, all the washing was done, dried and ironed. Everyones stuff was put away apart from DH's. Now, 8 days on, it's still there. It has grown somewhat as I have added more to it but I will not be putting it away for him. The whole point of him putting it away himself is so that he can see that his idea for one poxy stupid wardrobe in our bedroom is never going to be enough storage even for his stuff.
*AND, relax!* . Sorry, got a little overcome there!
Need to get all of the recycling sorted tomorrow. Not sure when, probably get up a little bit early and do it before I pick up the kids, then we can go straight to the tip after school and get rid of it. Will also have a couple of general rubbish to go but DH needs to get them in the car as I can't carry them that far, they're too heavy.

I hope to be able to report more outs very soon (I'd really like to report that my mattress has gone!), ttfn, Kaz.

Out: 2 more items on Freecycle have now been taken, did some paper shredding yesterday, so a bag of shredded paper has gone in the recycling box, and some cardboard packaging for recycling.

Pending: 2 other Freecycle items to be collected.

Having a clearout in my son's old room today, (he left home last July and his room is still filled with his stuff, lol, and it has also become a bit of a dumping ground for our excess), so hopefully I'll have a lot more to add later.

Hugs
Sue.

Didn't get rid of much of DS stuff as he needs to go through it, but a lot of it is now in boxes so it looks a lot neater and less cluttered, still a lot to do though. Ah well, another day tomorrow, lol!
