Hi all

Its been good to catch up with all your decluttering. I've been away from mse for a while. Work has been exhausting me even with reduced hours and my health has been up and down. The treatment wipes me out.

Anyway my house has turned into a disaster. I'm going to take it easy and declutter one room at a time. The sitting rooms not to bad, just a quick tidy and clean. My bedroom is a disgrace so I think I will spend today on that. It will lift a weight if I can do it.

It would help if the weather would dry up a bit too, I can't get on top of the washing. Its impossible to dry.:mad:

Anyway keep going, you're all achieving so much.:T

Hi all,

Two bags went to the CS today. Two more are ready for tomorrow. :j

I came to the realisation a few weeks ago that the CS work is tiring me out. I am not recovering enough at the weekend to feel like I am functioning in the week. Partly I feel that this is due to me not sleeping enough so the lie in that I can get at the weekend isn't just a luxury, it essential to my health. I run on 4 to 5 hours sleep a night in the week. Getting up at 7am is torture. Tiredness also equals no decluttering.

In an effort to improve matters and to continue to support the CS I have decided to ask if they mind me doing Sunday afternoon instead. I don't want to give it up totally.

Anyway: 75/100 bags now. I am aiming for 100 by Christmas :T

Slowed down for a few days but today

363-365 3 things back to IKEA
366-367 large boxes to recycling

trying not to get disheartened with chaos but trying to put like with like and keep chipping away
