May I just say I'm very impressed with the people doing the electronic decluttering. A necessary task but one I could probably procrastinate for ever, given half the chance.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.12 -

I received a new cs bag through the door so I have re-bagged the last one that wasn't collected, in the hope that this one will be. I shall know tomorrow, yes or no ! Who would have thought a cs bag collection would have me on the edge of my seat !!I have recycled the box and plastic inner from a large box of chocolates, and of course the contents
but I did share
The garden decluttering is ongoing, with more chopped up wood ready to go and I already have 2 green waste bins out for collection tomorrow. The weather from Wed is supposed to be rainy so I will start in the house again. I can see a "spot and swoop" scenario coming up and I have another empty cs bag at the ready.roudtuit loved the drunken rats comment, it certainly brought a smile to my face .......... thanks.elsien unfortunately "Procrastination" is my middle name tooKeep up the decluttering everyone.nanFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently10 -
I have sorted out a few bits to go out tomorrow into the 'free please take box', a glass jug, a little rose print bowl and a decorative plate I'm just wondering if I can put out some nearly new jumpers that don't fit any more or if it's the wrong time of year.11

1122 - 1126 3 glasses and another item posted with lots of packaging ( starting to part with my coloured glass collection)Office chair I bought giving me carpet burn - feel like I'm falling off and gripping on. Hoping they will take back - kept the large box so we will see.DD promised she's doing some sorting out tonight so I've left her with bin bags and boxed and going for a walk.10

You're welcome nan xx
This afternoon I decluttered my car! She is going to the great scrapyard in the sky after 15 years as my faithful steed. I cannot count this though as her replacement is sat on the drive. None of this was on today's to do list but I had to declutter some ££££ at some point this summer as Pip was not going to pass her MOT. Done now.
I'm returning to work tomorrow with a new to me car and a new phone. Good job I'm back at work - earning instead of spending!
