2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

Back yet again - you can’t keep me away :rotfl:

Thanks for the hug basketcase :T Waiting for an appointment with the doctor & hoping it is for tomorrow as I now cannot open my mouth to eat :(some would say that is a good thing :eek: but I can & am drinking copious amounts of tea & popping Ibuprofen like it is going out of fashion :rotfl: Sorry about the car but if you pay in cash you can weigh that
I will mention that regardless of how much goes out - you are still decluttering & everything counts :T + well done on emptying the Bugs Bunny Cupboard :T & great idea for storage until the car is back :T Although I am with you on the ‘I want it out’ of the house mentality :rotfl:

An update on the items that were going to be stored with our farmer friend & probably would have degenerated through lack of use - the grandmother clock is going to London to be sold, the large dresser & the large table are being ‘stored’ (but will be in use) with the young French couple who have started the herbal & pottery business - Delphine & Fabien - they have six hectares of land & are growing everything organically + 20 sheep/lambs + 2 DDs :rotfl:. So my DSis has bitten the bullet & not charged them upfront (they have no money:eek:) - she has told D&F that she would prefer the furniture be used rather than rot away & that they would be doing her a favour rather than the other way around :)
As a gift from D&F, because my DSis has been so nice to them , we now have a couple of bags of dried herb tea infusions & a pot of basil flavoured sugar (I might use that for bread ), a pot of salt & herbs for use with pasta & a pot of herbs for casseroles - all hm & organic :T:)

Also while we were there, my DSis got to bottle feed a lamb she was in seventh heaven :A

Meanwhile DB & DH loaded up the van with French rubbish to accompany the German rubbish & did a Tip run. Everything has to be sorted to go in correct skips & because they were doing that properly two of the staff helped them:T

For the last hour DB & DH with a little bit of assistance from DSis & me have just managed to put the dresser in the van & the table will follow shortly. The dresser was massively heavy & the inside is showing it’s age :eek: all the shelves & walls of the bottom half cupboards fell out as it was manhandled through the window. The top half had been taken off & although heavy came out through the door & did Not fall apart are being delivered tomorrow a.m. - so

F2821 - F2822 Dresser & Table to D & F
F2823 Grandmother clock to England
F2824 Van load of stuff to Tip

Just off to put dinner on

Thankyou basketcase. I will try not to. Interestingly the walk has now not just relieved me of some physical weight but now it is over I feel lifted and I feel able to get on with other things. It's not euphoria, but just a big thing needed doing and now it is done it isn't blocking me any more. Like being overwhelmed but not in a negative way. it still produces the same results though.

Last night I loaded the car with a further three bags, two of clothes and one of books. The books have been waiting for a while. DH had tor ead the first in the series tosee if he wanted to read the rest. He doesn't so all out and will be dropped off tomorrow on the way home form work. so now it's 25/52 bags plus 6 other items. More to follow as I have abookshelf to clear.
