2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

Hi from sunny & very warm France

The car has been full to the gunnels for two Tip trips today - both paper/cardboard/books + a large box of pots & pans. The loft is ALMOST empty.

F221 - F230 Paper/cardboard/books to Tip today
F231 Large box of pots & pans to Tip today.

The space for sale items has been swept out & two large garden tables set up - one is covered with nice wooden toys, a box full of fully clothed Action men, other boxed toys + a dozen or so large toys (still in their boxes) + badminton set all standing on floor + a box of small plasticky toys. The other table is taken up with boxes & boxes of jigsaw puzzles (at least one still cellophane wrapped :rotfl: ) & some nice crockery, glassware etc.

Five Tip runs in 3 days :eek:

I am not as happy as yesterday because have just found out that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING HAS TO GO - pictures, white goods, furniture, pots & pans & so much stuff :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Technically two LARGE houses need to be emptied of almost everything - should find out over the weekend what the buyers want to actually buy:o
Anyway car already loaded for first Tip run tomorrow.

There are at least 3 more carloads ready for the Tip :rotfl: if I didn’t :rotfl: I would be sobbing my heart out

Have to say adieu before I get too depressed

:T DH has emptied the attic & the door will be shut & then out of sight out of mind :j:T:j

The first Tip run of the day has been made

F232 - F239 Large Boxes of Cardboard/paper/books to Tip
F240 Part of an exercise bike to Tip

Just about to load the car with all the general rubbish bin bags & the rest of the exercise bike, so will Number that when I return.

DSis & her DS have just gone on the 2nd Tip run

F241 - F244 Large bin bags of general rubbish to Tip
F245 - F248 Cardboard Boxes full of tat to Tip
F249 - F250 Broken stereo & speaker to Tip
F251 Rest of the exercise bike to Tip
F252 Small box of books to Tip

So DSis has now made SEVEN Tip runs & there are two more carloads for tomorrow.

They have just come back & DSis has jumped on the sit-on mower, as the grass is now dry enough to cut after 3 days of sunshine :j No need for it in our garden - she will miss it :rotfl:

DH & I are off to reload the car so I will be back shortly with an additional set of numbers :rotfl:

Last post of the day :j

The two carloads of stuff is now one carload of stuff :T:rotfl: & will go to the Tip tomorrow. Good job too as DSis is only allowed 21 more trips to the Tip :rotfl: We need to save several trips for the stuff - furniture etc that doesn’t sell!

F253 - F256 Boxes filled with cardboard/paper/books to Tip
F257 Knackered suitcase filled with general rubbish to Tip
F258 - F262 Boxes of general rubbish to Tip
F263 Plastic toy table to Tip

Everyone sitting down with a cuppa - it is extremely hot apparently went up to 26C :T now a balmy 22C

Will probably potter around trying to finish off the 2nd kitchen - lots of work surface to clear + 1.5 double cupboards to empty & a large table to clear. If we can break the back of that then we can pick the next small room or cupboard of DOOM - before tackling the larger rooms. :eek::o

Onwards & upwards :rotfl:

We didn!!!8217;t do any pottering - we all just collapsed.:o

Today the 8th carload went to the Tip

F264 - F273 Boxes & Bags of general rubbish/cardboard/metals etc

DSis has managed to sell a few bits to a family friend -

F274 - F295 a toy bin full of dinosaurs, four boxed toy sets, 2 Dinosaur jigsaws, a child!!!8217;s telescope, 2 deckchairs, 2 vases, 2 cuddly hand puppets, a pan, crockery serving dish & 6 mugs

More donations to me -

F296 - F302 Tablecloth & cloth napkins

Started on a new room, without finishing yesterday!!!8217;s room :mad: Mind you I suppose as long as we are doing stuff it doesn!!!8217;t really matter where we are decluttering :rotfl:

Also DSis has managed to find a new home for her two cats & hopefully will be able to donate lots of sheets & towels & any cat food she has as well. She will also need to make a monetary donation as it is a cat rescue run by one lady who has confirmed that the two cats will eventually be adopted together (mum & daughter approx 10 yrs & 9 yrs old - were strays that DSis found 9 years ago :A). This is the most difficult part of the move as unfortunately where DH & I live is urban & we only have a small garden + there are at least a dozen cats around + we would not have them in the house . We love them to pieces but it would be unfair as they are used to an enormous house & lots of open countryside

See you again all you lovely declutterers

More stuff gone - the family friends brother came with OH & kids - sold a few more bits -

F303 - F315 A noisy dinosaur, 2 Sets of boules, 3 games, 3 wooden educational toys, a cuddly toy, a toy truck with men in who drill, hammer etc (for the little girl) & a small box full of plastic cake decorations

Also gave away two black bin bags of boys teenage clothes & two large boxes of English children’s books - the friend will go through & pick what he wants for his daughter it his boys are more interested in playing outdoors (he is teaching English to all three of his kids ) . WThe books he doesn’t want are being donated to the local school (they teach a bit of English) & any they don’t want will be donated to the library so that takes the number to F319.

Off to bed now (the iPad only works downstairs so can’t post from bed :rotfl: )

Bon nuit
