2019 - A Clutter Free Life

MadamMim2013

Mrs SD hoping your mouth is recovering.. nothing worse than mouth/face pain.:(

Been busy this week, birthdays to celebrate, decisions made and a new job applied for... :eek: nervous/excited..I knew it was time, my current job is just not cutting it anymore, if I’m honest I just do not like the way things are going, new directives etc, its just not how I would want to care for my family therefore how can I justify it as care for others!

A bag by the chair is gradually getting filled, a few more items to go in then I’ll drop off to my local CS.:D

Huge hugs for all who are in need.. its been a weird old week!

Janejamie awww 6 balls of fluff :happyhear. I don't know if I could declutter those :rotfl:
Hugs to all those who are feeling down, ill or just plain fed up.
Keep on going everyone !

Hope the mouth feels better soon MrsSD.

Sold 6 items so when all paid will be posted. Listing more items as it's an incentive to turn clutter into cash. Another big bag of recycling stuff binned - where does it all come from?
Using up ends of face cream, toothpaste, mouth wash etc as I seem to have too many pots & tubes on the go, so sticking to one at a time until used and won't be tempted to buy more until all used up - fingers crossed.

The heavens have decluttered jumbo snowflakes, mini hailstones and drizzle this afternoon. And in between each there has been blue sky! :snow_laug

My constructive procrastination seems back on track! Whilst not defrosting the freezer I finally deep cleaned my combi microwave/ oven. :j This burst of productivity is, surely, thanks to the re-welcome from Mrs Salad Dodger, and to the kind words of Ocean spirit. You are both :A

Nannywindow I am using your healthy hugs to declutter a possible mild cold. This will mean I can safely visit my friend in hospital tomorrow. You too are :A

Hope your toothache is better MrsSD. Filled up two bin bags of rubbish from the attic, all sorts of stuff our daughter has grown out of. No car boot today, weather not the best where we are in East Lancashire. Thank you for the kind words about my wife MrsSD from your earlier post, she is ok thank you. She finds all this decluttering stuff difficult, so that's where I come in I guess. I took a picture of the attic tonight and I compared it to a picture I took of the attic in December last year. Definitely lots of improvement and I can now see some of the attic floor!

Declutterbug Dramas

1. Motivated to defrost the freezer after months of procrastinating. :cool:
Already decluttered all my old towels. :doh:...

Loved these! Did you eventually take a hammer to the smoke detectors?

Today I've decluttered sheets of paper that got stuck in the printer. I'm in the process of turning a pint of pancake day cream into butter, thus making a little more fridge space, and I've sent off the two baby blankets that were a project to get me knitting and crochetting. Family members have picked up four items of post that arrived here for them. A cardboard box has gone in the recycling. I found three empty light bulb boxes under the stairs (count as one!) so those are recycling too.

Another project has been decluttered: I've mended some seams splits on the sofa cushions. Not sure how long it will last but it looks better for now and reduces visual clutter.

I think that's it for this weekend - love reading peoples' achievements here, you are all spurring me on!

:eek: sillyvixen - What a nightmare :eek:You get a Gold Star ⭐️ for seeing the silver lining :T:T & another Gold Star ⭐️ for the kitchen decluttering :T I think I would have just curled up in a ball & sobbed my heart out

to be honest I could have cried, and by the time the water was off, I was close to tears, water was still filtering through into the kitchen and I was shaking and close to tears.. my laid back brother (almost horizontal) told me no crying as we had too much water to deal with and could not cope with any more .. made me chuckle - but the way he said it was funny and one of those you have to be there moments - sorry I was not thinking strait enough to remember a direct quote.

Every thing is now dried out ... big pile to take to tip or chazzer in the frount room but no real harm done!!
