bit_by_bit

Hi All, So busy.
Mrs SD; I hope the funeral goes smoothly.

So another bag of books taken to work and another two by the door for Oxfam on Friday, also one for my Fil to take to the local National Trust booksale. So until the others are gone it will be 51/52 bags. :T

I put out five shoe boxes and the paper rubbish yesterday.

*343 a large broken down box(didn't have to do much the cats had destroyed it)-recycling
*344 a big bag of plastic wrapping put in the recycling point at supermarket

Youngest cat has given up attacking the toilet rolls instead keeps catching her 'toy snakes and dragging them up to me each morning as a welcome present......wont be decluttering them until they are completely wrecked but we are going to get rid of cat tree and get a new one when the decorating is........finally done

Off to do some more while the mood takes me!

1. IF I NOTICE SOME SMALL TASK NEEDS DOING - I WILL DO IT IMMEDIATELY

2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I WENT IN - WITHOUT HIDING THE CLUTTER EXCEPT for the wardrobe room which is currently the storage room (sr)

3. THE LAST WASHING UP OF THE DAY WILL BE PUT AWAY BEFORE I GO TO BED

:TSo the bags finally to oxfam and that takes my total to 53/52:T

Other wins this week are clearing out my wardrobe, some of that has gone the the CS bag and now I have a pile of summe clothes tos ort ready for a trip to Marrakesh in November. A job for today.

I cleared out 'my draw' which was loaded with paerwork to be filed and cleared the computer tables, just a bit of filing now. I hate this task but once its done I am a very happy bunny.

Minimal decluttering today as off to the CS to do my duty. They are letting me free on the til.
Then DH and I are going to negoriate with C#rries over some appliances we want.
