Charity shop bag is getting full so may do a run tomorrow/Friday to get rid of some stuff.
Suit that I have had on ebay/FB for ages and that had zero interest is off the CS as I'm sick of moving it!
Cleared out the cupboard under my desk. Had to put some of it back in annoyingly as ran out of time, but lots of papers gone in the bin and a few old bits that I've been holding onto 'just in case' gone in the CS bag too.Changing my Family's Future!! - Starting again!!!!

1. SMALL TASKS WILL BE DONE ASAP
2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
3. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
4. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’
5. IF I WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH, WOULD I BUY THIS?
6. BE LIKE A POSTAGE STAMP - STICK TO ONE THING UNTIL YOU GET THERE
Tuesday was a dry day & a lazy day although my F*tb*t was happyDH cooked a really tasty cheesey pasta for dinner. I washed, dried & remade bed.
Wednesday, has turned out dry & quite sunny if a bit chilly. Assisted DH in planting bulbs, plus moved some plants out of the table top planter & DH has planted up the very pretty indoor allotment + put up the 2 battery operated lights in the shed.
Cheerleading commences here

DH's injection went without a hitch yesterday and even Nurse Grumpy had a smile on her face :eek:.
However my get up and go has definitely got up and gone today, but on emptying the DW I found a chipped glass fruit dish.......... it's now consigned to the bin. Dad also brought some leaflets over for me to peruse, I have no idea why, not really my interests, but anyway they have been looked at and they are now in the recycling.
Chocolatelover sending you gentle hugs

Well done to everyone on here. Finding motivation even when real life is throwing the best it can about!
I'm envious of all the sorting. We break up for half term this Friday and I enjoy a declutter/sort each school holiday to keep things in control. DD and DS have had quite a few bits of new uniform and underwear due to recent growth spurts so their wardrobes are the first targets!0 -
Met my friend for an afternoon out and while waiting for her (she got lost!) I managed to nip into a charity shop to drop off a large bin bag of stuff from my weekend de-clutter that i'd put in my car in case an opportunity arose!
Sending kind thoughts to those who are going through difficult times.
