2020 - banish the clutter

TC77

Working today but updating a few things from yesterday and will try and do something this evening.  Did listen to a Ted talk about someone who decluttered 1000 things and realised that I will have to do about 5000 to make the difference I want. 800 last year and 800 this year and is only just scraping the surface!

800- 801 2 bags garden stuff

802 Scarf CS

803 declutter paper

804 digital declutter (this will be a long term task)

805 UU food in curry

Have a good week everyone x

Good afternoon all,
Back to work today. Started the day with going through six years of notebooks getting rid of all unwanted note ax Then went through box files. Five bin loads have gone into recycling. Yay, the office is loads better. I was then able to spend the rest of the day being creative and write training.
Have also discarded / binned another bin load of card/paper from card making stuff.

Thank you @Mrs_Salad_Dodger for a lovely warm welcome and lots of encouragement.  I sifted through my pile of papers (set aside for burning) gradually throughout today and ended up with a pile for recycling and the remainder for burning.  Off to the chimenea with a match and it all went up in flames - very satisfying if a bit smoky.  Next step is sorting out a new folder for bills.  The old one has a lot of redundant stuff in and a new one will be good for the new house  I've also got my old course work to go through afterwards.

Evening all, 
Not sure of total, but tomorrow is bin day so I took advantage of this and sneakily went through some bits
2 Barbie dolls (she must have at least 50)
1 lip balm gloss maker that was rubbish
lots of paper she has half drawn on/written on that needed recycling. 
Some rubbish happy meal toys and various other bits and pieces that I managed to sneak into the bin. X

Monday has been a gloriously sunny day 🙂 but with a very strong chilly wind 🙁 Scarf no.39 has been completed & scarf 40 started 😉 The hm soup has been cooked, zizzed & taste tested - very tasty if a tad spicy - that will teach me to put 2 whole chillies in 🤭
The neighbour with stage 1 cancer had his 1st radiotherapy session today & was feeling good. Fingers crossed 🤞 that once his course of treatment is completed he will be c free.
Another day of TV, AB2, knitting. Dinner was HB sausage casserole with boiled rice for DH & I. Breaded fish, oven chips & peas for DSis.

764 - 765 Kitchen recycling, cardboard packaging - Recycled

766 - 767 Plastic packaging, bag of kitchen detritus - Binned

Great work TC77 👏  Only another 4 years of decluttering 😉 or the other option is a skip 😂 

Excellent work Gem-gem 👏 

Brilliant start supersaver1000 👏 Must have been very satisfying seeing paperwork going up in smoke 🙂

Nicnak, your total on page 168 was 2053 + one sheet & now your 20th April numbers.
You are definitely keeping stuff moving out of your home - well done 👏 

BE KIND. STAY SAFE. BREAK THE CHAIN. SAVE LIVES.

A few from past couple of days

671 a broken broom. The handle came off as I was sweeping up outside and the wood had rotted. It has been left outside for years!
672 a broken wooden planter.
673-674 magazines to recycling.
675 another broken plant pot.
676 a broken seed tray thrown away after transplanting the seeds as it was disintegrating..

It's slow at the moment but will do more soon.

Thanks Mrs SD,
Think I might stop counting now, not sure though as it might inspire me if I get to 3000. 
2053 + 1 + 7 (Not counting every piece of paper). = 2061
