I didn't get much decluttering done over the weekend, as I was working Saturday morning, out Saturday evening, and was busy listing on ebay for the rest of it. I did manage to get 121 items listed (83 re-lists and 38 new lists), including some bulky stuff, and I've got bids on 2 items already.

Also I had a man collect a box of pre-recorded vhs videos, that I offered on freegle, and he said to email him when I sort my next lot, so that's handy for when I get around to sorting out the shed, as I've got about 3-4 large boxes out there which I think are full of videos.

Sue14, that's hard core with the ebay listing! Well done you!
No actual outs planned as yet today. Need to get on with putting away decluttering. I have an overflowing mountain of washing and ironing to sort as had to resort to the TD this weekend which adds to the ironing . Unfortunately, nobody in this house seems to put anything away either. I think that before I start the thankless task of putting away the washing, I will get on and finish off DD's skirt as I can then put away my sewing machine and assorted gibble at least until I have done all of the housework. I don't need it out again until later on this afternoon when she gets home because I need her here in order to measure her for her dress/top not sure which she wants me to make yet.
If she wants me to then I will be able to make her some board shorts too which will be rather fabulous .
No way am I going to be able to start painting this morning. Or today in fact so I must get my finger out and get stuff done. Perhaps DH will make a start on it for me tonight- what's that I hear? Sniggering from the back row? Yes alright, he's highly unlikely to pull his finger out and actually do anything tonight. He gets cross because I keep getting him to make tea but he doesn't realise that I do that because it gives me time to do other things rather than me doing tea too and him sitting on his arris. Tea is an easy one tonight though, roast chicken, jacket potatoes and salad.
Fridge has already been decluttered although I now need to find a home for about 1000 onions. Perhaps french onion soup is called for this week?
Cheerio chaps xx

Well at the moment I have stopped for a lunch break. My sister phoned at 11.50 and said it was time for me to have a break so I called her back after I had put the chazza shop stuff in the car. She stayed on the phone for over an hour. Blimey, she knew I had loads to do. Thankfully I had got to sorting washing stage so was able to sit and fold most of it up (and put the ironing in the basket ready for later) whilst cradling the phone on my shoulder. So, although none has been put away yet, the majority is folded.
I need the loo now though so will take the towels upstairs to the bathroom on my way. That's one less thing to take up later. I shall just have to hop from foot to foot whilst I fold up the last few

Hope everyone doing ok..

I've not been doing too much but yesterday OH had a fire outside & burned all the papers/junk mail I'd collected. (there was one full black bag & some smaller bags :j). also unbeknownst to me OH had wangled a free storage 'thingy' (really one of those contraptions you're meant to grow tomatoes in) from next door who have no use for it - one of the side zips is broken but I think it's still waterproof - and now some of the garden tools have a home outside )

Also then in the process discovered an extra floor brush which I used for the living room & kitchen!

Saturday I sent a book out to someone via bookmooch, which was quite exciting, might try to put more on there now. It was a French novel.

sorted out my writing paper & envelopes recently too.

Have decluttered and cleaned the bathroom this evening. It wasn't too bad clutter wise thankfully because it needed a darn good scrub. I'm sure I'm the only person who sees dirt in this house .
Still yet to do the ironing although I ought to get off my arris and do it now whilst DH is in the bath. At least then I can sit in peace after my bath and know that my time tomorrow is free to declutter some paint onto the walls.
I'm starting to get really cheesed off now. The house is groaning and this weekend the weather was awful on Saturday so we had no plans to be anywhere. DH whinged and moaned all day because he didn't want to stay at home. He could have helped out a little by doing some decluttering of pictures onto walls or cement into holes or paint onto walls or anything really but he just whinged on and on. I get really fed up of being the only person in this house who wants to have a nice home to live in sorry, feeling like a misery guts at the moment because I've no time to do everything and am the only one doing any of it. I know the paints will sit until I do it. I know the pictures I wanted for my birthday last year are never going to get put up. They just get moved from room to room with the odd frame getting the glass smashed in it because he won't hang them on the blo*** walls and I can't drill into our walls because I'm not strong enough. If I tried, I'd have the plster off and he'd kill me ! Ach well, let's get on with the ironing.
