You have all inspired me to try harder later and tomorrow but I am a little bit tired at the moment lol
Positives 12`s for today
Fed freddy a lot more then 12oz`s
Changed a more the 12 nappys between freddy and finley
Washed and dryed and folded and put in to draws 3 loads of washing (at least 12 items for each of us)
Wash lots of dishes
Rang my sister and asked her to come and collect all of DDs pink items from the loft, she said some things she will keep for my neice and some she will give to charity.
I also gave the same sister the double pushchair I bought that will not fit in the boot for when her second baby arrives.
I sorted through all my own nhs appointments and binned them! And the folder i kept them in....from being pregnant 3 times and seeing my Neurologist there was loads! , then the postman came and dumped another letter for a mri scan and verogram joys, still one in and easy over 100 out.
The bins should of been emptyed today but shock horror there is no sign of them again! So hopefully tomorrow I may be able to get rid of a bit more.0 -

5) 44p(multiple of 12 so I'm counting it) decluttered into my pocket from various places in my bedroom.
Isn't anyone going to tell her that 44 isn't a multiple of 12?
Well done on your 5 (ish) dozen
I didn't manage anymore, but otherwise wouldn't have managed that, so thanks for the challengeI wanna be in the room where it happens0 -
Wonder if I could do another 100 tomorrow?

Ok, I cleared the top of 'the toy box' I. My bedroom.
And before any one gets any funny ideas it is a real toy box, it was mine when I was small, but it makes a nice storage seat now.0 -

I like the details. It makes me appreciate the efforts I do make.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
Incidentally, George F0rman grills are one of the most common items to be decluttered, seems that an awful lot of people are suckered into buying them and find out the're not that suitable.
I think I may be soon adding to that number. I have had a very small one sitting on the breakfast bar for . . . five years? I think it was another moving-in present. They are a pain to clean - in fact I find anything that can't be immersed in water but still gets greasy a pain.
It did however demonstrate just how much fat there is in some meat.0 -
I watched the hoarding item on the One Show (Jasmine and her Mum, hoarder followers) and found it very moving.
It's Recycling Bin Week this week so I will be hunting around for more paper/card/plastic/tin carp to jettison tomorrow. This has become a fortnightly quest.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0
