Happy Birthday for yesterday nan xx

I've decluttered the back "lawn" by mowing it, it does look better. Also a couple of parcels I've been meaning to post for a week. Freecycled a couple of shed bits and sold another item on FB. Slow but still doing it.

I'm decluttering my garden of sodding cat poo. I am seriously not impressed that my garden is now their toilet of choice. I've got upturned plant pots all over the place to send the little sods elsewhere  - looks awful at the moment.

@Mrs SD -  You are not not missing much by this being your only Social Media presence.  I'm aiming for that too ! FB regularly drives me crazy - it's so noisy !!!!

It moves fast this thread.  Nothing done over the last few days as such as I have been at work but have been moving things to where they should be. Trying to make rooms a bit better as I waft through. Rounduit; your extension lead putting away struck me as I read it just now. It is so satisfying when something is in its place. A nice feeling for very little effort.
I spoke to a friend in her garden yesterday, how decadent. Anyway, she is having some wool off me which will be delivered when I am next nearby. 
The weather, being so rough, may afford me a bit of time in th RoD tomorrow. I have been sleeeping there in the week as my tossing and turning keeps DH awake. My fitbit tells me I have walked quite a distance in teh night  At least I can walk to the bed now. Anyway, sleeping in there certainly makes me think about where the things in fron to me are going.
Will try and get a box of books to Xiffit over the weekend and a box of powertools for DSis which ahve been waiting for some time to be posted. 
Keep well everybody.

Not much but at least there is a steady flow of recycling heading out of the door. There's a whole pile of stuff to go to the charity shop when they are open to receiving donations. My numbers will shoot up then :-)

Have a good evening

Friday was mostly overcast & damp but with some sunshine. DH took 3 items to a sandblasting/powder coating garage. He also booked the work needed & MOT on the Harley Davidson for Tuesday. I had a spurt of activity - scrubbing the bath, sink, toilet, shelves & windowsill in the bathroom + polishing the mirrored cabinet. I have knitted another set of baby bonding squares, cleared down more programmes from planner & played AB2. Dinner was fried eggs, oven chips, baked beans with ham for DH & DSis. About an hour later we had apple pie & custard.

Belated birthday greetings nannywindow 🎂 Hope you received some nice gifts 🎁 & well done on NOT keeping the paper etc for Ron 👏

Good work stellata 👏 Better to be slow & steady with no regrets 😉 rather than fast & furious with regrets 

I feel for you elsien 😖 I know the feeling of cats visiting my back garden. Fortunately they don’t poo because they are after our resident mice 🐁 😠 However the foxes have taken to leaving ‘presents‘ on the front lawn 😠 

Well done on the decluttering EnergyShifter 👏 At least MSE OS seems to be populated by generally pleasant & helpful posters 🙂

You are so right bit_by_bit - the thread does move fast & the fact that there are only ten posts per page makes it seem faster 🙁 Good luck with the RoD 😉

Good work roundtuit 👏 I am looking forward to the charity shops opening as well - generally don’t buy anything (apart from the odd book) after all I am trying to declutter but at the very least I can make a monetary donation.

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

Morning, 
31 bags have been put in my car ready to take to work. Work needs hundreds of carrier bags a month and I seem to have acquired more than my fair share over the past few months. I couldn't get in the cupboard at one point as they are hung up on the door so thought I would take them to use where they needed to be. Will update my signature later. x

Hello, I'm very new and would like to shed some of the clutter we 've collected over the years so would it be OK if I join in on this thread please? I like pretty things but since we've been shielding from the virus and have been shut indoors in social distancing  my pretty things seem to be more noticeable and there are more than I need and lots more in cupboards.  We heard that a local charity shop will be opening towards the end of the month so I hope I can have a sort out and make a donation and clear some clutter from indoors here.

Welcome boazu. All the best with your clearing out
Just got rid of a bag of wool and a bag of stuff to various people. The box won't go to DSis as it has batteries in that can't be sent by mail. Just having to scan a few more items for the xiffitt box.
That brings me to 20/52 bags for the year. Lots more to go.
