    Hi all :hello:

    I've decluttered a couple of things today, some lids for jars I no longer have, a jumper and a couple of dishes. Currently making a chutney to use up some dried fruit I found in the pantry :)

    Quite a bit of snow here already and more expected so I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to do some more over the weekend :T

    1. Put away ironing left on chair in lounge - been there too many days now :eek:
    2. Clear out ironing airing in airing cupboard

    Hope you are all safe and well if it has been snowing where you are. We had a bit of snow today and it's absolutely beautiful hopefully it will be gone by Monday though.

    Another photo album done today only 3 to go now, have done 19 so far. Those photo albums that I have gone through and emptied have gone in the bin.

    Plans for tomorrow is to make muffins to use up some bags of dried fruit and to iron.

    Happy decluttering everyone.

    Cleared out 2 more kitchen cupboards and decluttered:

    2 jugs
    Serving dishes
    Lolly maker
    Various bowls and plates
    Racks for roasting dish
    Lots of spices and jars
    Spice rack

    Just need to get a couple of doors put back on, they came off a while ago and the cupboards have been open ever since. Hopefully OH might be able to do it tomorrow, think if I did it they might fall off again soon.

    Hi... do you have room for a littleish one in here :D
    I am trying hard to get back on track!
    Get the house tidy... I was poorly last year and the housework kinda slipped...
    I have got back into ebaying again and sold 6 things today -
    also took a big carrier bag of books to the book shop I volunteer in (and for 1st time in a year didnt bring any home!!)
    also used up some random meat bits and vegetable on a stew :D

    :wave:Hello Wik, welcome on board to this great thread.

    I have sorted out another photo album tonight while waiting for OH to drive home from Heathrow, should have been at home over 10 hours ago but at least his flight wasn't cancelled. Only 2 more to do now.

    I have decided once I have finished my photo albums I shall tackle the pile of old photo negatives, indexes etc.
