TamsinC - 2150 on page 163 My other pleasure apart from cheerleading

Thank you.

2151 - 2161 lots of stuff in a charity box (more than this but hey), box to shop
2162 - 2166 sons cricket stuff to charity box
2167 - set of placements to charity box
2168 - pair of boots to charity box
2169 - 2171 middle child’s clothes they left behind finally in the charity box

However getting the annex ready for letting out so buying an awful lot of stuff for it. It’s amazing how much you need, right down to potato peelers and bags for sanitary products as they can’t go down the loo. SO much to think about and SO expensive too. It better let out. It was a holiday let before we bought the house so just carrying on the tradition. If it goes well we may expand into vintage caravans. Good job I love planning.

Well Done villagelife :T I will keep saying it - tidying is just as helpful to your peace of mind as Decluttering : Messy clutter is stressful, tidy clutter less so

Good work Happy Kitties :T 500 here we come :rotfl:

Well Done Barny1979 :T

You are more than welcome TamsinC Good work on the decluttering. I know how expensive getting a holiday let ready for occupation can be - DM & DSD had a 4 bedroomed gite in France, taken over by DSis when they died. Over the years, people have become more ‘entitled’ - everything is ‘supposed to be brand new & they have an insistence for having every gadget under the sun’ However it sounds like you have the situation well under control & I wish you every success. Here’s hoping you have lots of bookings 🤞 with pleasant guests

See you all tomorrow my fellow declutterers.

1 more day left then I'm free:j:j:beer:

Some more bits and bobs sold on Ebay so they've been posted this afternoon.
Loads of old paper and cardboard out into the recycling box tonight, and a few old pillows out into the bin which also gets emptied tomorrow morning so that'll be a good lot away.
hen starting from Monday I can get stuck in to the place again, kitchen is getting hit 1st, then the attic.
I've written everything down on a to-do-list so I have targets to meet and also so I don't forget something:o

Thursday was a dark, wet & miserable day I stayed in my dressing gown until 2:30 p.m., got dressed & did absolutely nothing all day apart from the washing up & some knitting. Hm soup for lunch & DH cooked a delicious cheese sauce pasta 😋

Well Done IrishRose12 :T Great idea to make a list & set targets but please do NOT beat yourself up should you get side tracked or it takes slightly longer than you intended Best laid plans & all that :rotfl:

Another trip down the CS today with 3 pictures, 16 DVDs and a couple of ornaments. Also donated 4 old pairs of glasses at Specsavers.
Although typically the one day I decide to lug everything down in a bag rather then my shopping trolley workmen had blocked the road and I had to make a big detour.
Got a big picture in my front room Im still umming and ahhing about. So Ive taken it down to for now and Ive a feeling it will be one the way to CS as well!

Hi all,

I took two bags to work this morning. One of towels and one of bedding. They are still here as the person who is supposed to be taking them for a third party isn't able to now. So I will deliver them at the weekend so that is two bags out so I can't complain plus I am helping someone in a difficult spot.

I have lot of stuff to do at the weekend which involves delivering to appropriate charitable concerns useful items for this time of year ( sleeping bags and jumpers etc).

I will update my numbers on Monday.

Have a fab weekend everyone
