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.

Tuesday has been a mostly wet day but warmer I sorted my post immediately, played AB2 & did a bit of knitting before setting off for B**ts & my advanced hearing test & ordering hearing aids. Rather expensive but so looking forward to being able to hear the TV clearly & hearing my DH - not so much my DSis :rotfl: Did some shopping on the way home & finally got proper rtc - 9p for a bag of chopped onions - so I got 4 Straight into the freezer I am supposed to be emptying :rotfl: hey ho it will happen. When I got home there was a delivery for me - a late birthday present from my DB (currently working in Scotland) - a stunningly beautiful bouquet of white flowers - roses, chrysanthemums & lilies with greenery + a tin of Belgian biscuits from M+S. My DB finally managed to catch me at home - he has been trying to speak to me since Saturday Lovely 15 minute chat as he was sorting out his dinner - apparently he is eating very healthily with lots of fruit, he is swimming & not a sweet, biscuit, packet of crisps or chocolate has passed his lips in a month :T:T Our dinner was pork loin steaks, boiled potatoes, rtc carrots & frozen green beans. The flowers are in 2 vases & one of the chrysanthemums is absolutely enormous - so it is in a small vase on its own
DSis has been in her room watching N*tfl*x all day & DH was playing on his computer & planning our biking holiday for next year - apparently he has been advised that Route 66 is a major disappointment so looking for something else

4092 - 4101 Glass bottle, 2 drinks cans, 3 lots of cardboard packaging, plastic tray, small glass jar, 2 newspapers - Recycled
4102 - 4104 Bag of kitchen detritus, large bag of rubbish from DH, large amount of cellophane from the flowers - Binned

Well Done villagelife, Barny1979 & short_bird :T:T:T All of you making donations to CS :T Reminds me I have a bag to deliver to CS & I need to contact the knitting group at the local school to see if they would like several 100g balls of white wool.

Keep up the good work :T

642 - Lost track a bit but another 8 things posted.

Need to get a bit more focused but my energy levels are at zero at the moment. Short daylight and all of that.

Have decluttered x 2 medical appointments (one mine one DH)in 3 days doesn't matter how nice and caring people are it sends me into anxiety meldown..ooh so stressful.


Tiny progress today ( as textile bag is gradually added to as I find them)

367 - 385 18 items into textile bag added to CS bag
386 - sports bra into charity shop bag


Positives about decluttering
Just when you loose hope of any progress you start seeing those gaps appear :0 (my filing tray is nearly empty, my pending tray is true pending - waiting for responses etc)
