2020 - banish the clutter

Foofoopuppy

Some more packing done and some winter stuff for charity - albeit currently in the spare room rather than actually leaving the house. Also sorted through some drawers of 'stuff' and chucked a lot of it that we have never used, and never will. Currently waiting on one piece of evidence from other side, and then we can move to exchange and completion!! Keep your fingers crossed for us 😄

Good news good news, After three hours and a lot of hoying stuff around the WARDROBE IS OFF THE LANDING. !!!!! Now I can get the stuff out of the RoD that was too big to get past the blessed thing. 
A whole bag bin liner of rubbish removed also and in the bin.

Monday was another mainly bright, sunny & warmish day with 2 minutes of rain which wouldn’t have filled an egg up 🙁 so I had to water the  garden 🙁 Hm soup was zizzed, taste tested & additional seasoning added. Managed 2 wash loads which were line dried.

DB phoned from Germany - the last 5 of his chickens were slaughtered by a pine marten. Apparently pine martens cause €65million of car damage each year 😱 His two boys go to school for one week, then one week off. Dinner was takeaway fish’n’chips for 2 shared between 3. DH pootled in garage & office & sorted the wormery.

Thanks Mrs SD. 
Decorator next, then the job of putting back and sorting everything from the cabinet and boxes. 
That'll be weekend though x

Had been feeling overwhelmed with RL but up early and feeling positive. Photo decluttering so time consuming 
7 CDs copied into external drive- I'm sure I have duplicates/ triplicates or same photos but at least in one place.

Few things on Freecycle to go so just persevering.

Have decluttered some sad carrots and half a very sad swede from the veg drawer in the fridge into 4 x root veg and cheese pasties for our lunches for a couple of days and also a very very sad head of broccoli (more yellow than green poor thing) into some broccoli and sad (yes very!) stilton soup as well, much saved from the bin and much compost material generated along with food to feed us.

Sorry to keep popping back with such enthusiasm. Thankyou for my gold star Mrs SD. They reall cheer me on Fish and chips sounds loverly. Mouth literally watering. 
Well today DS3 came and helped put 10 bags, 3 boxes and a suitcase of stuff from the RoD into the loft. Another bag of rubbish for the bin also gone out and in my boot and not yet counted is a filing cabinet that I have gifted to the allotment comittee. I will add that to my total once delivered.
Most of what went up to the loft belongs to DS2 and 3. They live in very small places but will get it back pronto when they move on, which I hope will be in the next year.
A good few boxes to work through yet but I am getting to break the back of it. Nothing will be done now until next week. I will be going to work for a rest tomorrow.
Take care everyone

Tuesday was a mainly bright day with about an egg cup of rain 🙁 DH was out early doing Round Britain Rally + visiting a policeman friend to get some documents verified. Lazy day for me - cleared down a few more programmes from planner, played AB2. 

I had hm soup for lunch 😋 Dinner was frying steak, oven chips with roasted mushrooms & tomatoes + garden peas 🤤

Absolutely nothing wrong with being an enthusiastic declutterer bit_by_bit 😉 I did smile at your ‘going to work to rest’ comment 🙂
