2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Hello

Getmeoutofdebt - I have a Shark cordless vaccum, best thing I ever bought, I had a 2 year old so I'm constantly hoovering, with the Shark it is sooooo much easier. I bought the pet attachment too when I had cats and I think it's brilliant for cleaning small spaces, the car and the sofa, would 100% recommend. I know it is quite expensive but so worth it, I used to have a Henry and the first time I used the Shark I was shocked how much the Henry didn't pick up, my floor felt cleaner too!

So my MH took a turn for the worst the other day and have since decided it would be best to declutter some people from my life and all social media except WhatsApp and texting/calling.

When/If I do go back on SM, I will do a big cull of people I don't need in my life.

Other than that not much decluttering has been going on! Did go through the fridge and get rid of all the OOD bits in there was such a shame I had to throw some meat away. I am going to be making a meal plan today as I have a freezer FULL of meat and just not using it. Hoping that cooking again will make me feel better.
Got peppered steak for tea tonight

Ooh chocolatelover. I'm desperately trying not to spend on another vacuum while Henry is working but your post is leading me astray.:whistle::rotfl:. Off to look at the shark one? Just a look mind you.

I'm sorry :A:A they are good though and if you get them on offer they're not too bad a price x

Hi everyone :hello: Long time no see:o

I haven't been on here in a few months, have had a tough few months struggling with health and problems at work. I had to take a step back and find myself again.

But I've still been de-cluttering along the way, still doing my bag a day challenge too. And now I'm off for the summer I've got stuck in bug time again. Both bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and cupboards have been clear out, some stuff sold on various sites, some donated to various charities, and a lot in the bin.

Place is starting to look better now, however the attic and box room are back to their bombsite state :doh:
So they are the next targets to attack again, it's like a vicious circle with those 2 rooms:wall:


I hope everyone is keeping well, I'm going to go and have a read back at the last few pages to see what's been happening. I may be a while :rotfl:

Can I ask do you have the lift away or flexology? I've been looking at the flex one as I feel that carrying around a bit of it would get on my nerves.

Flexology so much easier to carry up and down the stairs and to hoover up messes DS makes xx

Good afternoon all.
Eldest DD is now back home ( i can see now why they call it the boomerang generation )I would say 90 % of her stuff is in a storage unit so my house doesnt actually look too bad.I have filled a bag for charity shop just need to see if some of the other stuff she left behind the last time she moved out she actually wants:rotfl:Its been here a year now so i doubt she has even missed it.:D

Not done a lot of decluttering since the weekend but I did want to comment on the bra recycling question.

There are several bra schemes. https://www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk have bra boxes or you can post to them,

Bravissimo also recycle old bras for charity. This year raisning funds for MIND.

https://www.smallsforall.org/get-involved/donate/ (gently worn underwear to Africa for all ages)

You can post bras to all the above and there are many more. If your bra is too worn for use they will usually sell the component parts for cash to raise funds.I hope that helps

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

Not so cloudy today :T even saw the sun & blue skies. When it was hot, it was very, very hot so the cooling breeze was most welcome :T
DH & DSis replaced the hinges on the motorbike top box. Zillions of screws & bolts & took about 3 hours :eek: Made them both bacon sarnies & hot drinks. Dinner was pork loin steaks, boiled salad potatoes & peas, carrots, sweetcorn & green beans. Very tasty 😋

I went to sm - the car wreck is still jutting out into the road - it has been there since at least Saturday afternoon & is actually a danger to other road users :mad: Any ideas who I should complain to ? Fed the water fowl on way to sm - which reminds me I need to fill the Tupperware box I have located all my baby wool - there is a lot So I either have to knit for England or bite the bullet & donate - decisions, decisions :rotfl: Again only day to day decluttering

2182 - 2194 Two magazines, plastic jar & lid, 4 lots of cardboard packaging, 3 drinks cans, 2 empty beer cans, waste paper basket full of recycling (compliments of DH) - Recycled
2195 - 2197 Bag of kitchen detritus, 2 knackered pens - Binned
2198 Small box for 2 pens - CS

Well Done to the following :- Getmeouttadebt- one in, two out :T; parsniphead, I hope your time in the sewing room was productive & that the gas man turned up earlier than 1:50 ; sorry to hear about your MH chocolatelover93 & I applaud your decision on decluttering people who are not worth your time. I do not, nor ever have used social media apart from MSE OS forum :rotfl: I do not even own a mobile phone ; excellent work whmf00001. I hear bras make excellent catapults :rotfl:; Welcome back IrishRose12 - Sorry life has not been kind but well done on keeping up with the decluttering. Gold Star ⭐️ for you - sorting so many rooms :T; never too old, is your DD a hoarder or do you think she will release all her stuff into the wild :rotfl:; - Well Done one & all :T:T:T

Thanks for the info bit by bit - useful to know.

See you all tomorrow - I might even do some proper decluttering :rotfl:

Another day and more gone

1064 - 1078 unfortunately to landfill as DH decided we had too many mugs and I got there too late

1079 - magazine to recycling

1080 - 1081 - 2 lampshades to CS

1082 - worry passed on, spoke to a friend about something bothering me and she made me realise I was worrying unnecessarily

Have a good day all x
