547 - 7 items posted.

549 - 2 tubes of out of date serum samples dumped. Made my skin breakout so why I've kept it for 4 years is anyone's guess.

Hello all
Been a bit distracted lately and haven't done any decluttering except for a wisdom tooth on Tuesday :eek:. So another hit on the old purse, that makes 3 big things paid for ......... can't be any more, can it ? I'm no longer in pain but still have a swollen face and tongue. Only good thing about losing the tooth is I haven't been able/ don't want to eat and so I've lost a bit of weight :j.

Take care all and keep up the good work.

35/52 - 6 more CDs to charity recycling. The good thing about CD decluttering is that there is zero coming back in the way!

MrsSD - I've just upgraded to a SkyQ box and I have so much space that I can record as much as I want with no consequences. Sounds great but I miss the feeling of tidying up the planner and keeping on top of my watchings! :cool:

*423 curtain hooks recycled
*424 DM OOD tesco clubcard cut up and binned-no idea why I had it
*425 birthday cards recycled
*426 load of paperwork-shredded
*427 other plastic bits recycled
*428 couple of food bits thrown when I had a fridge tidy

Was hoping to do a tip run today but the weather has been really bad. If the wind is bad which it has been then there is no guarantee it would have been open. Hopefully tomorrow I can shift more things while I'm on a roll

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

Thursday has been a lovely sunny & dry day but rather windy. Did 2 stints of beautifying - one hour + 40 minutes - the entire kerbside round our close is now weed free & I have also weeded 14 of 16 pathways & front door steps. Fortunately the 2 that are left to do are hidden by a hedge :rotfl: so I will probably only do 30 minute sessions. The close looks so much better now & yet another neighbour has noticed & is appreciative - had a nice chat. Also chatted to the neighbours who originally inspired me on my beautifying project - description of my efforts was ‘the area looks sharp & well cared for’ I am rather chuffed with myself & my F*tb*t is very happy DH spent time in the garage working on various projects. DSis spent most of the day in her room. My hm soup was zizzed & is delicious if just a tad too spicy - DH & I had a bowl each for lunch. I also went to sm - lazily took the bus both ways Dinner was fish, fishcakes, chips & peas.

3664 - 3675 Three drinks tins, glass bottle & metal cap, 2 magazines, 0.5” paperwork, 5 lots of cardboard packaging - Recycled
3676 - 3684 Two lots of plastic packaging, bag of kitchen detritus, pair of rubber gloves + plastic bottle & 4 plastic trays - fished out of the neighbour’s hedge :rotfl: - Binned

Now stop teasing Catcrazy 4 used up pens perhaps to get you to 400 :rotfl: Keep up the good work :T - slow & steady wins the race

Oh nannywindow you are in the wars but as you say every cloud has a silver lining so congratulations on the weight loss :T

Well Done on the decluttering Rootle :T. I bet you have absolutely loads to watch :eek: I find that if I know I have to clear down my planner I try not to record everything :rotfl: I still have the whole last series of Poldark, GoT & Outlander to watch plus the 2nd half of the last series of The Walking Dead together with Talking Dead :eek:

See you all tomorrow

Well done on the decluttering short_bird :T Are the 3 jobs a necessity or just for enjoyment?

6 of one and half a dozen of the other! I do like travelling and going to arty stuff and that, combined with private renting means the savings have been decreasing. :eek: So I'm trying to put some back rather than taking it out :rotfl:
