2019 - A Clutter Free Life

Gem-gem

Decluttering the tomato plants and weeds today.
Recycled hubby's water bottle
Gave two jars of jam to my cousin's son.

Had roast lamb today. All the veggies and potatoes came from the garden - woo hoo!
Finally getting around to sewing the cotton rounds that I cut out months ago. Making some more make-up remover pads.

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

Apologies for not posting - been very lazy Friday, Saturday & Sunday. The weather hasn’t helped much - rainy with dry intervals Friday & Saturday but dry today - but then again that is really just an excuse :rotfl: I have finished the baby cardigan apart from sewing on some buttons Friday we finished off our curries (DH & I) & Chinese - DSis. Saturday was hm spaghetti bolognese & tonight we had venison sausages, duck breasts & turkey pieces (from freezer) with roast potatoes, broccoli & cauliflower. Really tasty - although DSis doesn’t like venison sausages - more for DH & I :T :rotfl:
The only other task I have completed is weeding our front path & next door’s front path + DH & I did some hedge trimming & also weeded our neighbour’s front garden He is away working for weeks at a time so it is the neighbourly thing to do Stayed dry today so walked to sm & met a nice lady with her 2 children - so I shared my seed with them & we fed the coots, Canada Geese & Egyptian Geese. Very pleasant 15 minutes & the children were a bit upset when we ran out of seed Small annoyance when I came to pay - my debit card was declined, fortunately I had enough cash. Home on the bus, put away the shopping then phoned my bank. Apparently they never received request for payment so the problem was at the sm :T Washing up has been done. DSis did a wash load & managed to line dry.

Sorted out the medicine/first aid cupboard.......... lots of OOD thrown out . I must be more vigilant !
To the cs a "drink more beer" stamp and some bath bakes. In the recycling the plastic packaging from some meat as I have split the packs and put in bags in the freezer. Gone too are the plastic fruit containers, the fruit is now in the fruit bowl. Also into the recycling the cardboard from 4 bottles of lager that I bought Dad for Xmas, which he's never opened as he thought the packaging looked nice :eek:. Tough luck I'm on a roll :rotfl:.
Nice to see you MrsSD :T.
Keep up the decluttering everyone, even baby steps are good as long as they are in the right direction.

Bit more decluttering this morning:

15-20: Mostly empty cleaning products (I use white vinegar now)
21-23: Glass bottles [to recycing]
24-25: Egg boxes [back to neighbour to reuse]
26: 3/4 bag of cat litter [to RSPCA as my cats have decided they'd like a different brand!]
27-30: Magazines [to local cafe]
31: Old toilet roll holder [bin]

Cherryfudge

A few more things have gone over the last few days:
24 decisions on pieces of paper (by which I mean anything from an old receipt to a handful of papers that only take one decision between them),
2 out of date medications to the pharmacy
Various areas of garden which were quite a bit of work so are getting counted separately: 3 patches of brambles, 2 shrubs and some tall daisies all cut back.

My new total is 1,058.

I'm off for a few days to do more work on Mum's old house so I'm hoping to add to this total at the end of the week,

I must admit at first I was like "eeww" but after using it I felt the same I didn't even feel like it was the time of the month!

I've only had one blockage in my shark and that was because I had hoovered up some wet food :rotfl: but it was so easy to get it out because you can see right down the tube. The only thing I do have to do is cut all the hair off the rollers once a month but that is because my hair is so long and it falls out a lot, but I do find now that I don't keep finding random bits of hair everywhere

Thanks chocolate lover. I don't why I've become obsessed with vacuums as it's a job I really despise. I've even been watching hooverlux on YouTube. What's wrong with me.

Im surprised I still have an account. I thought I had been seriously hacked this weekend and asked for my account to be deleted. I'm still here thankfully.:j.

I've mainly been recording weeds in the garden. My green bin is stuffed full and I have loads to go. I'm just making a pile in the garden ready for when the bin is emptied. I'm definitely making the best of the nice weather.
Anyway time for bed before some more decluttering tomorrow.:T

I really should not speed read, as read this as all one subject and wondered why the heck you would call your mooncup "shark"
