2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Wednesday2000

I'm doing quite a good job of using up a lot of my spare toiletries.

I really had too many!:D

I'm using up my REN skin cream as body lotion as it didn't suit my face.

Some more from today

591 a hen to store eggs in was broken so binned.

595 another card from my stash has been given to a friend.
596 a quarter full bottle of red wine which no one really liked and had been sitting around for as couple of weeks has been recycled.

Apologies if this is a daft question but any ideas how i can use bath products up as we mainly shower. Can bubble bath be used in soap dispensers or is it too concentrate? The bottles line my bath and are barely used its such a waste

I use bubble bath both as handwash and as shower gel. It's all basically liquid soap..

I use bubble bath as shower gel. It isn't so watered down so you need so much less, I'm sure that I have saved lots of pennies this way.

Everyone is doing really well on here.

Gem-gem, I'm glad you are conditioning your deep hairs!

I tried using bubble bath as shower gel and it made my skin dry and itchy as it's quite strong.

I have decluttered a shed, which has been huge job. I had lots of interested people via Facebook marketplace and freegle but none of them could actually collect it. After 3 weeks of trying it was about to go the tip. Put it out in the front of the house and a lovely neighbour stopped and asked about it for his allotment. I am so pleased it has a new lease of life.

The shed contents are currently in the dining room and living room although there has been some stuff out the door. The precious new shed arriving will most likely mean OH gets rid of some more junk I mean important and useful manly things.

Other bits and pieces leaving one at a time. Our friend stayed in our study/spare bedroom for the first time since we got rid of loads of stuff and said how much nicer it is now.

Keep up the good work!

Not exactly decluttered but have found an app which I can list the contents of cupboards/freezers etc etc. Spent an age taking photos of spice cupboards, then sent pics to PC so I could put them on the app, have 43 plus some duplicates so they will soon be used up and containers decluttered, also my Tall Tins cupboard, not all tins but my way of identifying, again 43 items, some duplicates, baked beans etc. Fresh veg drawer 10 items but these are in contant use. Got 3 freezers to do, the condiments cupboard, fridge, under sink, will take an age but will be more organised afterwards and lead to decluttering. Can put clothing, bedlinen etc all into different lists. I have the free version and am just starting so may actually declutter some cash for it. I already have a shopping list app which I have used for a few years but now I can check if I already have the stuff in stock before adding it to shopping list. Will declutter 3 b'day present and cards for 3 dgs' in next 3 weeks.

What is the freezer app called. We also have three freezers and could do with keeping an inventory.
