    Just back from a fab holiday so not had time to read all the posts I've missed yet but I will. Hope it will give me the motivation I need to declutter this home of ours.

    Congratulations museumworker on the birth of your son, try and rest and enjoy your new family.

    Congratulations, MuseumWorker!

    Another bag of paper recycling and another bag of shredding on their way out.
    More boxes consolidated and another empty crate is nesting in the cupboard.:D

    OK does 5 desiccated mouse bodies count?:eek: Perils of living in a 200 year old house - the mice families have probably been here that long too:rotfl::rotfl: Just been in the attic an cleared them out - we have an electronic mouse detterent in there and 2 furry mouse deterrents living downsatairs;) but the best way to keep the boogers at bay I am sorry to say is poison.We have used traps too but 'clearing' them is a bit of a chore. As the 2 deterrents downstairs are very effective we only get them in the attic but as DD2 bedroom is half the attic we cant just ignore them - so when we hear scrabbling its time to get the 'big bucket' out! We where furry deterrent free for a while and the bl00dy mice moved in big style - within days! Anyway all this has slowed down my flinging frenzy and I have many charity bags to fill for tomorrow kerbside collection:) So I am off and will update later

    Hello all

    Internet problems for the last week have been a tad frustrating :mad: I did manage to write a post on Fri eve but couldn't actually post it.

    Huge congrats to museumworker - a baby is a major declutter :p
    espresso21 thank you for your kind words last week x

    58. Crates out for recycling by fruit & veg company
    59. Ironing back to neighbour
    60. Bottles & jars to glass recycling
    61. Birthday card & little pressie to friend (by hand)
    62. Birthday card to another friend (by post)
    63. Torn plastic packaging from deliveries - in the bin

    I have lots of clothes and shoes I no longer wear, which I REALLY need to sort through. I cannot leave it any longer, I'm determined to reach 100 by the end of June and I only have 7 days left, including today!!

    Thanks again for motivation and support, everyone :T

    Congratulations museumworker, enjoy your new arrival and don’t worry about the decluttering for a while, some things are far more important.

    I finally managed to get to the doctor on Wednesday, about my sciatica. After calling in the morning, and being told the earliest evening appointment was for 3rd July, (I needed evening so OH could take me, and Wednesday is the only day he finishes early enough) I asked for home visit, so they got the doc to call me back and she asked me to go to the surgery that evening. She gave me co-codamol and diclofenac, which have eased the pain, however I am now suffering the side effects of the meds and have been too tired and nauseous to do much, it’s so frustrating that I’ve been off work for over a week and nothing much has got done!

    Only things to add are an ebay parcel (and jiffy bag from stash) which OH posted for me on Thursday (got another 1 to post but that has only just been paid for, so will go later in the week), put a jacket and trousers into CS bag, and I did manage to do a small pile of shredding.
