I've been doing some listing and selling myself. Nothing more satisfying than decluttered AND making some spare change at the same time! :T




DECLUTTERED

Sorry to have been AWOL for a couple of weeks - I decluttered loads of stuff from my Mum's old house with the help of DH but my list has accidentally been packed away so I'll add those items when I find it. Meanwhile today I attacked the papers and got rid of 24 items and an OOD packet of chocolate chips.

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

The birthday celebration was a friend of ours - my DH is also my toyboy but only by a couple of years :rotfl:

The washing that I left out overnight was dry this morning. All folded & put away :T DH put the 1st coat of blue paint on the last section of garage floor but it didn’t dry enough to paint the 2nd coat I have basically done nothing apart from declutter Season 4 of GoT off my planner
One piece of excellent news One of our neighbours is having their windows & doors replaced by the same firm that did our windows & doors over 10 years ago - the back door from the kitchen to the garden has always been difficult to close & my DH is the only one who can close & lock it DH suggested I try & sweet talk one of the fitters to come & have a look at the door :rotfl: So I did - Chris came over with some tools & spent a good 15 minutes sorting out the hinges :rotfl: It now works even better than when it was first fitted :rotfl: Closes & locks easily :T
I cannot begin to describe how inordinately happy both DH & I are :rotfl::rotfl:

This afternoon I have decluttered

824 - 830 Four plastic lids, 2 plastic boxes & more leaflets - Recycled

GreenQueen, please don’t beat yourself up I imagine RL has gotten in the way Don’t forget that 2019 is an arbitrary number Perhaps if you change your target to 365, you will be re-enthused Plus you are then more than 50% to your target :rotfl:

parsniphead, Well Done on getting DS stuff out & to the CS :T. You should be very proud of yourself :rotfl: I have to admit to really enjoying the cheerleading & I can type quite fast with one finger :rotfl: Enjoy the chocolate even if you don’t enjoy the treatment

Welcome back Ginmonster Nice to hear from you, and Well Done on keeping up with the decluttering. I am very proud of you for getting rid of a 5 year old bit of clutter :T

Oh savvy - you have been through the mill & then some Thank you for my Gold Star ⭐️ :T
Do you have an idea of what is in your ‘erratic attic’? Perhaps you can enlist the help of a sympathetic person (whose knees are OK :rotfl:) who can photograph what is in the attic & you can then make a plan of attack :rotfl: It is such a shame when people try to be helpful & don’t actually listen to what you want . Can you declutter your sons :rotfl::rotfl: only joking :rotfl:

Well Done - More pennies in the travel pots chupachups4 :T

Well Done Marpau :T

Well Done choille :T I love posting things :rotfl:

Well Done no logo :T excellent decluttering :T And absolutely yes decluttering ivy COUNTS :T

Good numbers Cherryfudge :T I hope the ood choc chips were decluttered into your tummy :rotfl: You little tease - packing away your list of items decluttered from your mum’s house :rotfl:

See you all tomorrow, my fellow declutterers

Thanks, Mrs SD. I'll stick with my 2019 items for now, I've got a couple of areas where I'll be able to make a big hit, hopefully some of the bank holidays coming up! I need some of the quick wins.

193 - tissue paper from my new handbag recycled - that's a big thing, because previously I would have kept it for Justin!

Gooooood mornnnnnningggggggg Mrs S D and everyone

Big day in my house today....getting charity to collect 5 pieces of large furniture ! We live in a big house and hope within the next 2 years downsize smaller home once all chicks have fled nest !!!

Over weekend 2 bags to charity...1 bag recycle... and 2 bags disposed off. I am actually making progress ... I can see a massive difference in the house ... its tidier for a start and its more peaceful if that sounds sensible.

Have now another bag on the go and this morning went through some china cabinets and have got rid of items that i don't particularly have any attachment to.

Keep on chucking out

A Big Thank You to all that sent cake and birthday wishes my way, yesterday :A

I am so glad I found another thread where everyone is so helpful, delightful and encouraging :T
As you can imagine had the day off yesterday but still managed to :EasterBuna chocolate easter egg :EasterBun which was yummy and also decluttered another 2 weeks off work. Let's see what I can do today.:)

2 vases of birthday flowers thrown out ready for Mothering Sunday ones (hoping) some frozen foods taken out & de-cluttered the last few days. Still working on de-cluttering (and sorting) PC think it is nearly back and have now got used to Win10 so can de-clutter Win7 from brain. Thanks for the cheer leading.

Bottles out to recycling and the rubbish has been put out.

I'm using up the last of a scented candle as well.

I'm using up some facial oil as body oil after my showers and baths as it doesn't suit the skin on my face.

I'm also remembering to use sunscreen on my face each day. I put the body oil, my body brush and the sunscreen out in a tub on my chest of drawers so it jogs my memory to do it each day.:)

Hello fellow declutterers :hello:
I have MIA lately because of decorating the bathroom and illness. Bathroom has been painted and new flooring laid. The old flooring had been cut up and binned. I am also on the mend thank goodness ( I hope ) or DH would have been binning me too :rotfl:.
In a drawer I found 2 pairs of curtains,1 lounge pair and 1 kitchen pair which are now no longer needed and an odd one :huh: ( don't know where it's other half has gone :eek: ) but all now in an ongoing cs bag. Before I would have kept them all "justin" but noooooo ! So thank you to this thread and all you lovely people :A
Unfortunately our TV went on the blink this week and we had to buy a new one . So now the old TV and the packaging from the new one awaits a tip trip. I'm sure we can find more items to fill up the car first though
I haven't read back so I hope things are going well even if only slowly. Keep up the good work all.
Hugs to anyone in need, please take as many as you like.
