    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.

    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 " :D

    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 !!

    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 :D I am going to write that on a large piece of paper :p & bring it out when I decide on my next decluttering project :p 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:

    Thank you for the lovely welcome, as Cosmos would have it, not well atm, so laid up to rest big time as BP through the roof, touch & go if they would admit me or not, but thankfully - not.

    Not much you can declutter whilst laid up in bed so took to my chromebook and managed to declutter over 3,000 :eek: yes you read right - 3,086 emails :o
    still some to go, but its a start :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.

    Mrs SD hope your pain free and decluttered.

    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!

    Well Done on ‘decluttering’ your diabetes, ailz95 :T I hope my house decluttering doesn’t take so long :rotfl:

    Well Done Rootle :T still plugging away - congratulations on fully sorting DVDs :T

    I was drinking coffee when I read your post nannywindow :rotfl: I almost choked :rotfl: Good luck with filling the cs bag :D

    Well Done A Frayed Knot :T You have definitely caught the ‘Decluttering Bug’ :rotfl: starting on a major decluttering project even whilst laid-up :D I hope you can get your BP down quickly.

    MrsSD hopefully you will continue to improve and be able to eat soon.

    A small amount of decluttering done.
    301 a bundle of paying in envelopes recycled.
    302-306 wind up penguins taken to work. They were from crackers so have been lying around since Christmas.
    307 more photos thrown away. This will take a while to get the amount down to a reasonable amount.
    308 old dried up blu-tack thrown away.
    309 pack of tatty notepaper recycled.

    That's all for the time being.

    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.

    Ready, set, off I go.......
