Hoarding - Springing Ahead

whitewing

I know all about keeping going to look at decluttered spaces.

I have finally done 3 forms that will go in the post tomorrow. They were on the list to do this morning but I had a psychological block over them in case I made a mistake. In fact, I hadn't looked properly at them before I worried myself to death over them so they weren't nearly as bad as I thought.

ETA: Also chucked out two driving licence booklets, a photocopy of my marriage certificate, a fax header from 2011, a covering letter from one of the forms, 2 used envelopes.

Whitewing - thanks for the tip, good idea. I used to dye towels to perk them up but havn't done any dyeing for years. I checked the trousers but they're a polyester mix so they'll have to go to the CS. Someone might like them.........................;)
I've also got to get in gear & post stuff on fleabay - its all sitting in a big trug in my spare bedroom (not that it looks like a bedroom at the moment)
SQI know exactly what you mean - things get to a certain level with me & then I have to blitz - the alcove in the kitchen is calling me 'cos its filled with books - my recipe books & his car & bike manuals. I feel a cull coming on

Fancy dress perhaps, lol.

Handed some unwanted medicine in at Superdrug.

2 letters in the post.

Table was nearly cleared this morning.

Decluttered my handbag.

Got a photobox to go out soon, some card to be dropped off at nursery and a book to go to the charity shop. Some of this I could use but I won't use so I would rather have to not move it around. Free up some space to do the stuff I love, rather than the stuff I like.

Have found the living room floor again, go me. And taken a large bag of donations to Hoxfam, mainly clothes but some books and misc. Will have a couple of more hours of reading pleasure from another book and then it'll form the kernel of the next bag.

Got to keep using the stuff and turning it out again for another person to enjoy. One of the books in the bag actually came from Hoxfam only a few weeks ago, so now they can sell it again and, who knows, it may come back again and again......more useful than hoarding it and depriving someone else of a good read.

Keep up the good work, my lovelies.

Hello everyone

I'm back from holiday from sunny Lincolnshire which was lovely by the way. I have never been across to that part of the country before.

Somehow I have managed to wash all the washing (4 loads), have dried some and the rest is currently hanging on the line. I have also emptied the suitcase and put everything away. I don't know what you lot have done to me but I seem to have turned a leaf. I would have usually been up to my neck in stuff not put away for weeks before. All this on top of spending 4 hours in the hospital as mum was rushed in again.

I want to get started again tomorrow and have promised myself I will do a minimum of one step per day in the cellar.:eek: it's a nightmare.

Also tomorrow toy corner needs a good going over.

It's been nice walking back into a house which is much less chaotic than usual and has given me a real boost to get on.

I would like to be back in Lincolnshire though. Definitely going back.:)

Two tall, wobbly cd stands have bitten the dust. I also have an old, dodged oil filled radiator to put out for the tat man but not sure if he will take it.

There is also an old indoor guinea pig/rabbit cage I borrowed from a friend for a week once. I tried to give it back on numerous occasions but she wouldn't take it as she said she had no room to store it. It was the friend who dumped the jeans for me to sell on eb4y. I haven't seen her for a number of years, so I think under the circumstances it has to go. I think I may put it outside with a note saying free to good home.

A trip to the tip is needed soon I think.

I have had a brand new vertical blind in my bathroom for... 8 YEARS ... it has been rehomed to DS1's.. it was initially for his room and never got put up.. I also donated him 2 pairs of curtains and half a binbag of clothing for him and his boys.. he also took half a floorboard..

It feels like progress!!

Just flinging some more guff at ebeast .. I will be rid.. I have £100 in my paypal now £6900 more to my 'goal' .. our mobility car goes back a year in December and I need to replace it so I have a goal.. if I end up with more then we will get a newer vehicle ..

Some goodly stuff happening here. pigpen, gotta be nosy - he took half a floorboard?!

Have decluttered 4 pairs of religious knicks, half a carrier bag of carpy stuff which had either been dug up from or blown/ been thrown onto my allotment, plus a wooden stand, like a very heavy duty stool, which my water butt had been standing on. It was knackered and about to go over. It will now be involved in the October bonfire party.

Have finished the latest book to back to the chazzer, only had that one less than a month, enjoyed it, and then out she goes. I read 100+ books a year and there's no way I could keep even a fraction of them in my tiny home. I use a lot of library books, but some stuff I want isn't in there, so I do buy the odd book 2nd hand.

:A Although I am considered by the medical profession to be virtually a teetotaller because I drink so little, I have splurged a whole 85p today on a bottle of pear cider which is chilling nicely in the fridge and then will be decluttered in a while. And I can sling the bottle into the bottle bank on my way to work tomorrow.

And there I was thinking that religious knicks with 'Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's Door' emblazoned on them ...(not meaning to cause offence to anyone).

I haven't done any decluttering today.
