Hope you're feeling better Mrs SD. There's no pain that I've experienced that's worse than a dental abscess, but antibiotics kick in really quickly.2021 - mission declutter and clean - 0/20210

6/52 - 5 and final set of DVDs to CS bin.
7/52 - used up moisturiser and into bin, a full packet of chocs to work and a work mobile returned!0 -
Oh MrsSD I'm so sorry about your swollen mouth. I hope the anti b's work quickly and you can get it sorted asap.
The only large heavy item that I have for the cs is DH and they won't take him.......... I checked :rotfl:. I don't know why as the charity shop is for "All creatures great and small "
I had another cs bag pushed through the letterbox this morning for collection next Monday. Now that's much more sensible and it already has 4 things in it :j. So onward and upward !!Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently0 -

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:

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
Oh, WoW, that is fantastic, Well done you :T
Anybody know how to get BP decluttered, as mine is a yoyo.

Good evening everyone.
Mrs SD hope your swollen mouth is starting to feel better soon.
Went into the spare room,where lots of my turning out is u ntil I do a bootfair, and bagged up two big bags of books, cds and DVDs. Hubby is going to take it down to brothers house - SIL will take it down to the rspca shop, where she volunteers. I can't stand looking at it anymore.
Decluttered more mail that was delivered today.
Decluttered the corner of the room by where I sit in the sitting room. Most things have just been put back into their rightful place.
Govt wants to declutter my bank account again. £14 to renew my driving licence. Not amused!2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

Mrs Salad Dodger I hope your mouth problem is getting better.
I've not done much over the past few days so today I sorted my two freezers, defrosted the small one, put the stuff I have into it and am now decluttering to s of ice from the stand alone one.
I really need to get back on the bandwagon or I will be getting nowhere, especially as I'm planning to go back to work in the next few weeks as I can't go on with lack of funds for much longer. I would like all rooms to be cleared to look at even if there is the odd cupboard/draw which needs doing.
