The (Flylady inspired) Anniversary Declutter Mission

toottifrootti

Hi Dusty honey - yes i know its a ridiculous list but its made me realise the jobs that are needing doing - the cleaner helps keep the flat respectable but its all the extra jobs that get missed - anyway i have edited my post and deleted a couple of duplicates and things that I maybe dont need to do so it looks better-ish!!!!!
paper is going to be my bugbear for a while so i think I might alwys try to do paper on a monday on my flylady list and it might become a better habit - here's hoping!
thanks for your concern angel

Done a few more bits off my list - going to sharpen the knives next.

Like you Toots paperwork is the biggest job. Whilst I've almost done the bits I selected it is an ongoing thing. I'm going to follow you lead and try to do an hour of paperwork every Monday.

Also need to put some more bits in the car boot pile in the loft; hoping to do a sale at the end of April.

I too am working through the paperwork mountain, not least because I need to find my decree absolute before I can renew my passport . Nothing like needing something to inspire you to get on.

Making inroads in a chest of drawers full of papers. Most now filed & sorted and the rest binned. Don't have the old photos to sort as my DIL borrowed all these about a year ago and brought them all back filed and tidied:D Have still the bureax to sort as it is full of everything that doesn't have a home so may sort a bit a day for the next week while I watch TV. I didn't know that I had such a pile of cards so will sort them out and put them into 1 box.

we all seem to have the same problem - paper!!! I have sorted a lot of mine into piles on the sitting room floor and I am going to file and sort today.
