2019 - A Clutter Free Life

never_too_old

Afternoon all

Managed to do a bit of decluttering this morning.2 inflatable airbeds boxed up ready to post to Wyatt&aJack.
Brilliant company i stumbled across based on the IOW,they make bags out of inflatables like bouncy castles, airbeds, beach items that is destined for land fill.I have one tote bag and a purse

I know i have babbled on about Morrison's take it back scheme.I saw the store manager in my local store today and the plastic definitely doesn't go to landfill :T

That's really handy to know Never Too Old.

Been a beach walk & picked up a fair bit of old twine - always do that. Most of the beach litter is off fishing boats but at this time of year you can get people leaving all their bottles and rubbish.

1 - Item posted - Not doing much decluttering at all & things are slow in selling what I have listed for sale.

1. old T Shirt holey so cut into rags for dusters.

122 - 125 three large and now fairly soggy cardboard boxes that had been sat outside the back door for a few weeks went to the recycling today

We decluttered a job or two as well - as in things that needed doing - three walls given a first coat of paint, a flagstone relaid as it hadn't 'stuck', and a section of outside wall limed as the concrete had blown, and some general tidying up done outside too as it was starting to get me down.

126 - 127 two bags full of plastic taken to Morrisons
128 - 135 various item to home recycling

Not much removing of clutter tonight. Rest of a Bottle of wine, does that count?
Only the decluttering of ones purse - MOT, service and refill of air conditioning carried out today.
Started to reorganise freezers. Still hoping to defrost freezer number three before all of this year's fruit is picked.

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

Friday was mostly dry - it only started to rain when I finally got around to running errands my own fault as I did faff around :rotfl: (this time last year we were having a heatwave :T - I am halfway through reading 2018 Decluttering thread :rotfl:) DSis spent most of the day in her room after having a long soak in the bath :rotfl: DH went to W*ckes to pick up some new flooring for the hallway & cloakroom. I dropped off the cs bits & pieces - very lucky timing as the cs clothing shop was being closed early & the cs was open. No opportunity to look around as the cs was completely full of furniture - at least I saved my pennies :rotfl: Then went to MrA & did a fairly large shop including a big tray of chicken breasts & a very large joint of beef. Bus home (the shopping was rather heavy ) & everything put away. Chopped out the iffy bits of chicken & put in the fox’s food tray - bagged up & labelled 2/3rds of the chicken & put in freezer + created 3 smaller joints of beef & froze 2. Had chicken fried in butter with mushrooms, mash & sweetcorn - delicious 🤤
Will get DH to make cheesey pasta tomorrow & we will have the remaining joint of beef as part of a full roast dinner on Sunday.
I phoned the bank & paid my credit card bill & have been doing paperwork on & off all afternoon.

1803 - 1816 Milk carton, 2 drinks cans, empty beer bottle, food tin, 2 large cardboard boxes, medium cardboard box, 4 x cardboard packaging, 24 page booklet (read), 0.5” paperwork - Recycled
1817 - 1818 Small bag of kitchen detritus, 1” paperwork shredded - Binned
1819 - 1823 Three dried up glue tubes, 2 broken drill bits - Tip

Thanks for that Cherryfudge :T & Well Done on the decluttering :T especially the hair :rotfl:

Well Done Cazzatheclutterbug :T You ARE going to heaven - training the next generation not to put so much store in having lots of possessions :rotfl: In 50 or 60 years time, when you have shuffled off this mortal coil, your DDS will be thanking you for not having tons of clutter :rotfl:
Your bedroom will truly be a haven :T but do not forget the lock :rotfl: Very Well Done on the weight loss :T You are decluttering on all fronts

whmf00001 - no mobile phone for me pen & paper shopping lists for me :rotfl:

Wednesday2000, your wardrobe decluttering is an inspiration :T & the cs must love you

Very impressed with your dedication never too old You are putting us to shame

choille, don’t be too down on yourself you are still getting ‘stuff’ out of your home :T

Well Done - TamsinC; Barny1979; that is an excellent start; :T

Don’t you just hate when everything comes along at once Gem-gem I am assuming you recycled the wine bottle :rotfl: so of course it counts as decluttering :rotfl:

Feeling spurred on by all your support, I tackled a kitchen cupboard this morning :j

From a decluttering perspective it was easy , majority of food was out of date :so it all had to go :embarasse:

I feel so guilty about all this food waste.:sad:
( In my defence I’ve been through a very traumatic bereavement & time has stood still these passed 3 years )

Trying to make my self feel a teeny bit better :coffee:
Going to sort out the what can be recycled ( cardboard packaging) & what can be composted. (Sigh)
