2020 - banish the clutter

Michellelh

Thanks for the gold star MrsSD

Yesterday before work I sorted out the pile of paperwork on the coffee table. It is now in one pile to file and one pile to shread/burn. The bits that could be recycled went straight out to the recycling bin as collection is today.

With the virus I’ve been told to take my breaks at home instead of in the messroom (I live onsite) so I’m going to try and use some of my lunch breaks to do little bits of decluttering. There is a pile of radom stuff on the end of the sofa that I think I’ll do today.

Hi, hope people staying safe. In isolation so working at home and have some leave so starting to tidy up. can't take things to CS so focusing on some cleaning when I can  - cooker and inside of cupboards

528 - 529 old credit cards

530 credit voucher binned (£0)

531- 532 old pens

533 - 534 paper clutter

535 - putting pens/batteries etc together as some scattered around house

some of the tidying and decluttering feels like little progress and trying not to overcount

536 - old garden broom binned.

Another 350 emails decluttered.
More shredding done.
Thanks to what's going off, my job for the time being is decluttered.  
Anyone want a live in aromatherapist?

Made ten birthday cards today mainly using an old Boofle calendar as a starting point. Went through my ever-decreasing card making stash and discarded any bits that have got damaged. Used up some old bits. I vowed that I won't go and buy any new bits until I have used up the old stuff. I am sure that by the time the next three / four months are up I will have achieved this. 

Shoe box binned.
Received four new pillows today. Box in the recycling bin. I had to tear it up into small bits to squeeze it into the bin.
Have put blanket into one of the new pillow bags. 

Leather belt - put into boot fair pile.

Me! I can offer you a bed you can actually see, although cupboard space wouldn't be part of the deal.
Hope things don't get too difficult for you.

The oils can live under the couch, it's the hot stones that take up the most space, yes I do 6 diffrent types of therapies, you can have a diffrent one each day, I also do 3 diffrent combination's.:)

I don't think I'm going to be decluttering much for a while. Good news is that I've got another months work 3 days a week which I can do from home. Bad news is I'll be at home on my own 24/7. I'm beginning to wish I'd stockpiled a bit really. I'm going to go through my cupboards and see what I've got and hopefully put off going to shops. My friend went and said it was empty, nothing to buy.

I've lost a list so will try and remember what I've decluttered
545 a CD player
546-547 two speakers
548-551 various catalogue and magazines recycled
552-553 lids
554-555 sponge bags that are surplus to requirements
556 an eye mask
557 paper shredded
558 an old hat
559 a couple of old scratch cards that hadn't won anything. Not sure why I kept them.
Not too bad as I thought I hadn't done much.
