2020 - banish the clutter

elsien

One item this week.
A 10 year old box of Christmas teabags that I'd clearly just stopped noticing.
*insert embarrassed emoji here*
The tip has reopened this week though so may venture into the shed at some point.
Yep, lovely having MrsSD take the time to cheer us on.

Proud of myself - mended laundry box frame the other day. the lid disintegrated with just a wooden frame and covered it with a towel with velcro fastening so abit of an improvement and can use something better - I am not a skilled seamstress!

957 - 958 laundry lid with towel and velcro used

959- 960 - 2 ebay parcels posted

961 packaging for parcels

962- 964 3 socks in draught excluder

965 broken large portfolio carrier binned

966 -967 blazer and duvet for CS

Mislaid the phone I found the other day and factory reset.

Also moved furniture back where  it belongs (after work done months ago).

Need to declutter lbs as less exercise and then maybe back in most of my clothes and can declutter more.

Agree with villagelife so good to read posts and love Mrs SD's cheerleading and everyone's support.

Waiting for my archive pens to arrive to write on photos....

Oh dear - 3 days behind 😞😞😞 Sunday was overcast & very cold & windy but no rain. Grateful for the hm soup 🙂 TV, AB2 & knitting. Dinner was pork steaks, boiled potatoes & carrots. Nearly forgot - ndn’s willow tree was leaning over/resting on our back wall so DH & 
I carefully chopped off the offending branches - the shared wall is our version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa 😆 or not so 😆
Monday was intermittent sunshine, slightly warmer but very breezy & still no rain. Three loads of washing done, everything bar the towels was line dried. More TV, AB2 & knitting. Hm soup for lunch. Treated myself to a soak in the bath - just the 70 minutes 😆
DH cooked cheesy pasta. 

Tuesday was sunnier & warmer & still no rain 🙁 Finished the hm soup. Cooked rhubarb & 2 of the ginormous cooking apples - ready for crumble. TV, AB2 & knitting - started on bonding squares - 2 sets knitted already - 2 different patterns. Dinner was large lamb chops, roast potatoes, carrots & peas + mashed sweet potatoes & parsnips for DH & I.

Only taken me 4 hours to write this in between starting & having a kip 🤣 

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

Don't stress about missing days MR SD, you deserve a rest, all that cheerleading must be very tiring
So I sorted out most of the stuff in the craft room now. I emptied two boxes of books and shelved or sorted them into charity shop, work shelves ( there are loads at the hospital) and z#ffit. I am adding a bag gone, (no 16), which was a combination of food for the food bank and stuff sold on Flebay. Very pleased but have tons of stuff to shift. I want it all gone this year but don't want to get overwhelmed.
Also one more large item,no 4,  a childs pushbike that DS 3s girlfriend left in my shed when she moved house. She doesn't remember buying it even, her mental health was very poor at the time. Anyway, it has been given away so another space in the garage.
I am in work for three days so nothing much is going to happen until the weekend. I aim for 10 minutes sorting a night or doing something to get rid of my stuff which I will count as a win.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ For you Mrs SD for all your efforts in supporting us and getting rid of your own clutter ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hope this works because the first time I tried to do it I got kicked off and I coudn't get back on

Ditched the bath drain strainers that I bought in Sainsbugs the other day - the water was draining so slowly with that in place.  Replaced it though with one of the Oxo good grips ones.  We have one in the shower so hopefully will work better - yet to try it out.
