2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Deni_debt-free_dreamer

Hi all, just a tiny amount of decluttering Chez Deni - looking for decongestant I found some OOD rescue remedies that went down the sink and the bottles recycled; took some OOD meds to the pharmacy - they took them without question
Well done everyone on your good efforts - very inspiring!

Haha, funnily enough my life was similar back in the 90's, youngests father ran off to Antigua with the secretary to think about what he wanted in life, and left me and the kids with just utility bill money and nothing else, so no money for food - had to do car boot sales (which I now hate with a passion) and collect aluminium cans for the money to get us through the 3 months he was gone!

He asked me to sell his pride and joy BMW, so I said okay as I was able to use it whilst doing so. Couldn't afford petrol so I coasted it about a LOT, once I put in £2 of petrol and the attendent laughed and said 'that won't get you off the forecourt'.......I retorted I was just topping it up for a friend!!! So anyway I had to give a report of how many were interested in it....but I kept being awkward about being in, then it got to the point I had to have somebody look at it........so I just kept putting them off it so I could have it longer to play in :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Then he came and took it to sell himself :( bit harsh since he had cheated on me! But I did enjoy celebrating a rowing win with my toyboy and ex's expensive bottle of champagne he was priding himself on :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: love it, hope you enjoyed the champers :T

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

I am back - like the proverbial bad penny :rotfl:

We packed Saturday morning & left about 3:00 p.m. (after DH had put the 2nd coat of blue paint on another section of the garage floor :rotfl:) Uneventful trip to Bedford & it stayed dry Nice room in a Premi*r Inn, with a view of the river even with scaffolding in the way :rotfl: Showered & changed & off to pub by 6:45 p.m. - lots of chat, several beers & a photo opportunity that reinforced Mr Salad Dodger’s credentials :rotfl: He unwittingly sat in front of a sign that said
“ALCOHOL BECAUSE NO GREAT STORY BEGAN WITH SOMEONE EATING SALAD” :rotfl::rotfl:
Then about 30 of us trooped off to the Italian restaurant for birthday boy’s 60th celebration dinner :T Good food, good company & of course more :beer: :rotfl: Left about 11:30 p.m. & retired to another pub (live music but way too loud ) :rotfl: More alcohol for everyone except me I resorted to tap water with ice :rotfl: much to everyone’s disgust & I resisted all blandishments to have a small one :rotfl: Got back to the hotel about 1:30 a.m.
A lot of sorry looking people at breakfast on Sunday morning - I did have a quiet chuckle

Most people left immediately after breakfast, but DH & I took our time & checked out at the last possible moment :money:
We then set off to get get photographs of old landmarks from previous years’ Round Britain Rallies. Weather stayed dry & reasonably warm :T DH had planned for 7 but we got 8 because I wanted coffee & cake :rotfl: The extra landmark was in a country park & there were lots of shops, garden centre & a great Tea Room :T Home made cakes - quite expensive BUT they were not stingy on the size of slice So we had plenty for today :rotfl:
We arrived at our pub hotel - The Stag in Stow on Wold at about 6:30 p.m. & bumped into another biker friend :T A very pleasant evening - EXCELLENT food (DH had venison haunch & I had a beef stew with mash), lots of laughter & chat & copious amounts of beer consumed :rotfl: Our Room was a real trek up & down stairs & along two corridors :eek: Stow on Wold is wonderful so we plan to have another visit for a couple of nights Up & at breakfast by 9:15 a.m. & after goodbyes & packing the bike we were on the road by 11:00 a.m. Good ride home & indoors by 1:00 p.m. Kettle on - cuppa with the lo cake :T then I unpacked, put 1st load of washing on whilst DH filled the bird feeders & watered the plants. DH has concrete sealed the last big section of the garage floor ready for painting tomorrow. Everything is now washed & is out on the whirligig - it will stay there overnight as it is supposed to be dry until Saturday :rotfl: Everything else is put away.
Have had a wonderful weekend & the only thing decluttered was shedloads of money :rotfl:

This afternoon I have decluttered

821 - 823 Magazine, plastic bottle & leaflets - Recycled

Hi Poppy_Golightly :hello: I used to watch Hoarders, but I got put off by the dirt & the fact that usually it is actual rubbish that is being hoarded _pale__pale_ I know that hoarding is a disease, but the programmes always seem to ‘bully’ the hoarder & it makes for uncomfortable viewing. Now I just re-read theprevious years decluttering threads & I am inspired

chupachups4 - are the clothing piles going down? They must be Well Done on keeping the clothes rolling out & the pennies rolling in :T A long road but I am absolutely positive that you will succeed
