MrsSD how about "Declutterbucks United" as a title ?
Only thing decluttered today....... a large chocolate Thor*tons Santa, which had escaped till now :rotfl:.
BTW I did share with DHFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently0 -
One bag taken to the tip of clothes that our daughter has grown out of. Along with a old mobile phone which should have been thrown out and doesn't switch on anymore. Bit by bit we will get there...0

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
Forgot to mention, I made a soup late last night - actually at 4:00 a.m.Used lo Somerset Chicken & lo boiled potatoes & added some soured cream, some chicken stock & a large tin of sweetcorn. Has been heated up, zizzed for 15 seconds & is now about to be consumed as a late lunch with some crusty bread
I have had a quick flurry of activity & cleared the top of the large wall unit, dusted, wiped & tidied 10 cubby holes
only 22 cubby holes to go :eek: & 8 drawers :eek:
261 Large glass chopping board (doesn’t fit in any of the kitchen cupboards) - into CS bag
262 - 263 Two lots of cardboard packaging - recycled
264 - 265 Two bits of plastic packaging - binned

Little bit of sorting done - moved some stuff around and made the kitchen look bigger....not quite sure how but I'm happy
Decluttering a bottle of Prosecco to a friend who is moving house (a long way from Yorkshire to Somerset), along with the presents I bought for their kids. We're going to their leaving party tomorrow so can hand it all over then - nice to hand something on to someone who will appreciate it. We don't drink Prosecco yet we seem to accumulate bottles of the stuff....we have 2 more in the cupboard waiting for school raffles :rotfl:Changing my Family's Future!! - Starting again!!!!

One more cubby hole emptied, cleaned & refilled
271 - 273 Three books into CS bag
aimeemum, spooky isn’t it - how rearranging ‘stuff’ can make a room bigger :huh: Well Done :T Sad to see a friend moving on but short break/s in Somerset possibly on the cards
Wanna Bee Free, getting rid of so much shredding must have created oodles of space :T

Thanks Mrs SD,you are very kind. I had a light bulb moment about clutter as a protective wall that set me off. Well done on the weight loss. A title could be 'Mind Over Matter - A practical decluttering Guide.'
