2019 - A Clutter Free Life

never_too_old

Afternoon all

Clearing out lots of bedding hasnt actually left the house yet but will next week when it will be used to protect DD'S furniture in her new house while work is being done.
Trying to organise my herbs and spices was only able to decant one jar but now have all herbs,spices etc in own basket so can pull them out to find what i need.:)

Had a day off yesterday from decluttering as I went to Dad's to do some cleaning for him. Saying that I did declutter his fridge by slinging some well and truly OOD items...... I'm surprised he doesn't get food poisoning :eek:. But he's old enough " to know what's what " apparently ( he's 90 this year )
Anyway I'm back to the photograph sorting, only 1 more box to go through and a large carrier bag of them for burning. There's me thinking it would be a quick job too :doh:
Keep up the good work everyone :j

I used up a couple more things from my toiletries stash this morning. I am really going to only keep the ones I like as I bought lots of products over the years that don't suit me!:D

I was thinking of getting rid of my gold wedding ring when I lose weight as it was second hand and I might replace it with a new silver one.

I doubt it would be worth selling it as it only cost £40 from ebay in 2006?



Yes, it's definitely worth giving it a go.:)

Low iron after your period is another migraine trigger, according to my GP.



LOL!

I have sold all my unwanted gold and silver on Hatton Metal Gardens. They have a calculator on their site so you can weigh your ring and find out what it is worth on there.

Wednesday2000, Well Done on decluttering toiletries :T I bet it is making the bathroom look tidier every time you finish a lotion or potion & dispose of the packaging/bottle Re the wedding ring, if you don’t want to sell it either on e*ay or to a jewellers as scrap, you could donate it to the CS.

I suppose I could do that.:A

Sorted my bags off the allotment last night. I got rid of a lot of rubbish and I have all of my stuff in two strong bags. One is my 'library' and one my seed bank. I am ready to start sowng now and am relieved that it is done.

That pile of bags and clutter had been looking at me for weeks and I was a bit afraid to get started.

Trying to do one job a day at the moment.

I can safely say I am a trendsetter no more, rather an [STRIKE]ordinary[/STRIKE] mainstream member of society. In other words, my wardrobe saga is over, it's upped sticks and moved into my bedroom. I bet you're all so pleased to read that. :rotfl:

This morning DGD came to visit, she is a whirlwind two year old who I simply adore but has energy levels an Olympic athlete would covert. :rotfl: Therefore nothing was done this morning, this afternoon was emptying my room as friends were coming to move aforementioned errant wardrobe. It ended up as a nightmare as it's huge and bl**dy heavy. They left and I made my bed and got about half of the stuff put away before I collapsed with coffee and haven't moved since.

Tomorrow morning I'm going shopping, just in the village and having dinner with DD and DGD. In between I will get the rest put away. I have 'almost' reclaimed my home.

Decluttered:

5 Jackets
1 Coat
! Duvet (another 'spare' I didn't know I had :eek:)
1 Dressing table
1 Welsh dresser
1 coffee table

I'm tired! :rotfl:

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

The wind died down :T so the walk to the sm was absolutely fine Met all my goals so F*tb*t happy :rotfl: Posted some letters, did an sm shop - bags too heavy to walk home, so got the bus. DH had some hm soup for lunch before he left for opticians & then to meet ex colleagues for a few drinks. Five hours drinking :eek: so taxi home - he was falling down drunk as he actually fell through the front door when I let him in :mad: but at least he is so drunk that all he wants to do is sleep :rotfl: rather than be garrulous & amorous Good job he only goes out once or twice a year - he forgets he isn’t in his 20’s anymore so cannot drink 2 gallons of beer in an evening :rotfl: He is still my hero though I forgot to have lunch, so had hm soup & crusty bread for dinner - means the 2nd half of my curry will do for tomorrow’s dinner & DH wasn’t hungry when he got home so he has curry as well DSis will have to fend for herself :rotfl:

No decluttering so Back to cheerleading

never too old, serendipity strikes - bedding as protection for furniture - a second life & saves pennies :T Well Done on the spices too:T

nannywindows, Well Done on keeping your Dad safe :rotfl: & good luck on the final leg of decluttering photos By the way, fusspot that I am , please wear a mask when burning the photos - lots of chemicals

bit by bit, it is quite eerie that bags & boxes seem to look at us accusingly :rotfl: almost begging to be decluttered :rotfl: Well Done on sorting your allotment :T

chupachups4, more pennies into your travel pot :T at this rate you will reach your target in no time

Barny1979, Well Done - cutting up carpets & getting them to the Tip :T. Shame it cannot count as double

White_musk, I am sad that your trendsetting days are over I hope you took photos :rotfl: but very happy that you had assistance in putting the new ‘bl**dy wardrobe’ into its correct location :T. Weighty & large items out :T - shame you aren’t weighing them .

See you all on Friday you never know I might actually do some decluttering :rotfl:
