Basically only recycling today - as still doing the darned floor - last bit was laid today with the plumbing sorted for the radiator. Hubby did take stuff back up to the workshop and out of the house which was nice but until we get the furniture back into the room I'm stuck for decluttering. We are using lime as well rather than cement so can't walk on the floor we laid today for another week and then I need to point (in lime) and that will need another few days to dry out before we can move in the furniture. But I can sort out painting the walls (one of which is having a replica of a 16thC mural on it) in the mean time -being very careful to only tread on the middle of the flagstones we laid last week and avoiding todays.

55 -100 - recycling done over the last few days including a carrier bag full of plastic to Morrisons.
101 - paint brush binned as falling apart - hairs everywhere
102 - another paint brush had snapped - in the bin
103 - sold an Etsy item
104 - used up two and half bags of premixed lime mortar on the floor

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

Monday has been rain, rain & yet more rain Started at 11:00 p.m. Sunday night & apart from 75 mins from 17:45 to 19:00 it has rained non stop ALL day. Heavy downpours interspersed with light drizzle :eek: Looking on the bright side the garden has had a good watering & it didn’t stop the Fox turning up for her evening meal :rotfl:
DH has done some work on the gear change on the bike but had to order a couple more bits DSis spent most of the day in her room either asleep or watching TV - apart from meal times :rotfl: I used up lo rice - reheated in wok, lo mash & mixed vegetables made into cakes & fried + fried bacon for lunch. Dinner was Snorkers (sausages for those who do not read BoP’s posts :rotfl:) with mash & baked beans. I managed to empty a box - various bits put in shed or garage & have been clearing down my planner so a very lazy day

1719 - 1729 Two Cardboard boxes, 2 Food tins, 2 milk cartons, plastic takeaway box & lid, paperwork, cardboard packaging, plastic pot - Recycled
1730 - 1732 Polystyrene packaging, plastic packaging, bag of kitchen detritus - Binned

Well Done on all that decluttering Cazzatheclutterbug :T people visiting is always a great incentive :rotfl: Fancy losing the receipts for the kiddiwinks :rotfl: Well Done on the decorating - sounds like your bedroom will become a haven - don’t forget the loft ck on the door

TamsinC - I know my raison d’etre should be decluttering but I much prefer cheerleading :rotfl: Already through the 100 barrier - Well Done :T & the new floor sounds great

Kurrpa, what a great idea - then not only do you get to declutter the item but also the label :T

Barny1979, running medals - do tell nosey peeps want to to know :rotfl:

I really need to get back into a proper decluttering mindset - I really must get back to writing ‘To Do’ lists again

See you tomorrow

So I've been a bit quiet here.......VERY good reason! Firstly a drama which I can't say until I know the outcome!!! But resulted in me decluttering 22 money bags that I used to use for the ex's football team!! :j


:bdaycake: Secondly it was my birthday at the weekend and I decluttered a few places of their tequila, cocktails and vodka :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

146 - 5 things posted.

!47 = large bag of plastic/tins etc in recycling bin.

Slowing up on the de-cluttering. Got a cupboard empty as it needs a light fitting just can't wait to get that sorted and then can get stuff packed in there in boxes and that would free up some floor space. To do one thing here I need to do about twenty to get the space.

105 - 120 - recycling - paper, plastic, glass etc
121 - worktop removed to install an oven for son in his 'flat' [a very posh word for it] joined to the house, it was a bit of a devil, involved very many screws, a hammer, a saw, and in the end a lot of brute force. The oven and its housing is now sat in the appropriate space and not just cluttering up the floor space. There is still titivating to do but it's plugged in and working.

It occurred to me that getting some of those temporary stick on battery operated spotlights might help till the electrician arrives...
