2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

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

Good morning - just :rotfl: but won’t be when I send this post :rotfl:

Woke at 7:00 a.m. to pouring rain so went back to bed still raining at 9:00 so back to bed & then DH woke me up with a mug of tea at 11:30 to brilliant sunshine 🌞 :T so thought I would get up :rotfl:
Plans for today include a trip to sm, more garage tidying & maybe even sorting the freezers

Straight into cheerleading whilst drinking my tea

Well Done A Frayed Knot :T you have been busy :T & keeping going :T

Well Done somerandom :T I especially liked no. 240 :rotfl:

Way to go Beshki :T I do like that you have worked so hard at the decluttering that even having a CS bag hanging around is an assault on your senses :rotfl: A Gold Star ⭐️ for you Beshki :T
Surprising how helpful writing things down can be - I really must get back to writing lists (I have been rather lax for a while now ) Is your Dad a clutterer? or has he accepted the glass dolphins as you do his cleaning :rotfl:

Off to write a list :rotfl:

Congratulations Madammim on your new job.

Decluttering at a slower pace. Continuing to make sure that anything that comes into the house that is unwanted ( post) goes straight back out. Have continued to unsubscribe to sites.

Oh, dear, Chocolatelover 93, in my experience, that also leads to decluttering £££:(

Congratulations MadamMim:T

Hello all fellow declutterers :wave:
We were invited to DGS's class assembly this morning, which I thoroughly enjoyed as it was a project on the 60's and a wander down memory lane for us :j. Don't know where all those years have gone though . Lovely music, singing, dancing and a snippet of news thrown in ( Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, JFK, the moon landing etc ). Only downside was that refreshments were on sale afterwards along with a raffle. So my purse was decluttered of it's contents.........in hindsight I should have just handed it over at the door :rotfl:. Didn't win a sausage on the raffle, can't even win an argument with myself lately

I have been back in the office tidying this afternoon . Found a lot more rubbish - a bag full which has been binned, some stuff for the ongoing cs bag, more papers for shredding and some items including a large box of flat pack plastic shelving, which I kindly donated to DH for his shed :rotfl:. I have left some paperwork and computer bits for him to sort through, but I expect I will have to keep nagging him......... er reminding him to get the job finished . My next task is to start to sort out the walk in cupboard in the office. I could be gone for some time :eek: :rotfl:.
MrsSD I had to buy more paint after all, I think it wasn't so much invisible but more imagined :eek:. I could have sworn that I had some :think: but obviously I'm just losing my marbles :rotfl:
Chocolatelover sorry to read about your tooth. No one needs to declutter that in a hurry!


Keep on going everyone, you are all seem to be getting the job done :T
Hugs to anyone who needs/wants one and healing vibes to the poorly ones.

Hi Mrs SD,

Can I ‘borrow’ your mum when she has finished helping you :rotfl: I am sure that there are several of us who would like to borrow your mum :rotfl: maybe we can set up a rota :rotfl::rotfl:

She is a rather great Mum, if I do say so myself. I'll let you know once I get around to cloning her

MK was too intense for me

MK can be intense, I will admit that. I am lucky in that I grew up moving house every few years so I learned early on that the fewer possessions I have, the easier this process was. I definitely feel for anyone who want to de-clutter but might feel trapped by years (or decades) of possessions.

You are very welcome for the tip. I am actually going to adopt two of your rules, I think:

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?

All the best,
