2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Gem-gem

Sorry to hear about your sister, bit by bit. Sending a virtual hug.

Mrs SD, when I find a good cauliflower soup recipe I will pass it on. I am probably going to try either delia - frugal foods or see if there is a recipe in my Covent Garden soup recipe book. BBC good food also has a recipe.

Made homemade pizzas today and we have decluttered (used up) salad and cheese from the fridge.

Put aside two paper bags (flour bags) to use for food waste. I am trying to reduce waste / use things a second time as well as decluttering.

Chocolate box recycled.

Wrapped up a present fro recycled tissue paper and wrapped it in a recycled bow.

I too, am sorry about your big sister, I jumped from page 7 to the very last post, so did not know what was posted before.


Big thoughts and hugs xx

Bit by Bit, so sorry to hear about your loss.

A Frayed Knot, welcome to the thread, good luck with your decluttering.

The big bookcase, now empty, is due to leave today. A big milestone, very pleased although a bit sad I had no interest on Freegle so it’s off to the tip. Other bits going with it include the broken fire pit which rusted through 2 years ago and is finally leaving today.

Happy decluttering everyone!

Sorry for your loss bit by bit. Take care of yourself.

Three things posted yesterday & a big bag of stuff to recycling bin.

I must get back on track later today or this week and concentrate on one area as I'm not focused at all.

So very sorry about sister. As I am approaching the last few years (hopefully another 20 or so but you never know) I have started de-cluttering so that things will be easier ofr my children when the time comes.
A book of knitting patterns collected week by week many years ago went this morning and I was so pleased as the lady who had it does clothes for premmie babies so that was an extra happy feeling.

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

So sorry about such sad news, bit by bit :sad: I echo Happy Kitties sentiments - so well written. A horrible & stark reminder of why we should all declutter. Thank you bit by bit, for being brave enough to share such tragic news. My condolences to you & your family.

Well Done on the decluttering Ginmonster :T A special Well Done on using alternative resources to dispose of the bags of clothing :T I know it gives us all a warm glow to hand deliver items to the CS, but sometimes circumstances are such that it is not possible & it is really just a case of getting the clutter gone

Welcome A Frayed Knot :hello: Those of us on the ‘Decluttering Bandwagon’ appreciate new declutterers :T I :rotfl: when I read how you got sidetracked at page 7 of the thread I am going to write that on a large piece of paper & bring it out when I decide on my next decluttering project I know they are only trying to sell you storage but I think most of us probably have plenty of storage that just needs the contents rearranging :rotfl: I definitely think that the Cosmos is trying to tell you something :rotfl::rotfl:

Gem-gem, Well Done on getting a 2nd use out of packaging :T Keep up the good work
