Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Rainy-Days

Good grief Pigpen I thought my decluttering was problematic you have decluttered so much it makes me want to get rid of more.

1 rusty trivet to bin
2 books to cs
2 books to recycling
1 table cleared
1 basket emptied
I've put a basket at the foot of the stairs for the weekly offerings to cs

Decluttering I certainly didn't want to do - I have a wood pigeon dying in the back garden. I've sought advice and now have a box protecting it from the local cats. It doesn't seem to be in much pain, I just hope it goes soon.

I hope that its suffering is over.

Yesterday:
1 flat - offer accepted

I know this sounds thick,but are you saying that you've sold your flat?!If so-congratulations!

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday,but managed:
-1 large atlas to cs
-1 empty plastic bottle binned
-1 curtain pole to cellar
-4 magazines recycled
-various paper packaging recycled and loose recipes put in folder
-1 packet of disposable cloths for waxing the parquet floor binned as dryed out.There were 2 left.

I also waxed the parquet floor,and had to remove and sort so many items to do this that the place had a general tidy and declutter as well.:D

303/200 now I think.

marmiterulesok, I picture your cellar as having VERY stretchy walls! (But very neat contents!)

Yes, after having the flat on the market for about 5 months I've finally accepted an offer, so I'm hoping everything's going to go through smoothly. I don't think being in the Olympic area made a difference, well maybe a little!

I've not been out to check on the wood pigeon - each time I've done that, it becomes distressed so I thought it better to stay away.

My cellar space could be neater!

That's great on the sale of your flat.Hope it goes smoothly.

Oh poor thing.Best to keep away I suppose so as not to distress it.Do you know how it's injured?Has it broken a wing?Noboby around who could wallop it with a big stone,just to put it out of its misery?

Years ago one of the cats half killed a rabbit and I decided to kill the poor creature with a big stone rather than leave it suffering.I think that the shriek I let out as I hit it might also have sent it on its way.I don't know if I could do that again.

It looks as though it's been attacked and there are areas without any feathers. There's no-one else here, and I couldn't bring myself to end it - though I'm praying it dies quickly.

Thank you for your kind comments.. I just wish it wasn't so easy to find stuff to fling.. this house is full to the rafters with crap.

I am torn over the treadle sewing machine and the grandfather clock... what do I do with them?

silentsister

pigpen, everything in me is shouting keep them - but is that the old me. Unfortunately (or maybe not) only you can decide.

pigpen

The clock needs to go I think.. it annoys me so I don't ever wind it up..

the treadle... is beautiful but useless .. it does work fine but I have a monster modern one so unless we suddenly run out of leccy it too is useless for anything other than looking pretty.. but.. I like it and would like it on display..

See.. totally indecisive
