2019 - A Clutter Free Life

villagelife

298-300 books to League of Friends shop.

Managing small amounts at the moment but still stuff leaving the house and everyone else in house seems to be buying stuff.

Gem-gem

Took three bags of paperwork to work - sorted out two folders that I am going to need for the next few months. Old stuff straight into the bin. Bags no longer residing in my office - yay!

Shower gel finished. Put in bag ready to go back to the shop where they will recycle it. I will then get 10% off a soap.

Used up little face cream sample (freebie).

Another 8 DVD's earmarked for clearance: 7 to the charity shop, 1 binned. And a CD to the sell pile, grand total out is 109.

Also seen off a couple of useful life maintenance jobs that needed paperwork to arrive which I won't count in the total even though they have been hanging around for a wee while

I had a little break and am back with a vengeance! The 40 bags in 40 days Lent challenge starts today so I started with that. I cleared out a bag of old receipts and mail.

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

Toothache (usually from an ear infection) last night which meant I woke up this morning with a swollen face. Phoned the surgery & my luck is in - appointment @ 2:45 p.m. with senior Practice Nurse - who can prescribe antibiotics :j & just to round it off shares my name :rotfl: The nurse decided it was a tooth infection so have 2 sets of meds + had a slightly raised temperature Also took the opportunity to get weight checked & had lost another 1.5lbs - now at 10.5lbs since 15th January F*tb*t is happy. Dinner was savoury mince with loads of vegetables + mash for DH & DSis. Face is so swollen that it was difficult to eat :( DH has taken down his workbench in the garage & also managed to get rid of a few bits (into the neighbour’s skip )

637 - 639 Large pieces of plywood - Skip
640 - 642 Three wooden chair backs :huh: - Skip
643 Newspaper - Recycled

Hope your infection is decluttering your mouth, and leaving the house, as I write Mrs S D. I reversed my diabetes after 17 years with a low carb diet - that's why I like it so much:j. Especially as I can't/don't exercise
