I can't help you sorry, as I have the same problem, which all goes back to an issue I raised earlier  when the new forum format was introduced  ,  I.e.  WE NEED A TECHNICAL TUTORIAL , visible in an easily accessible position on the forum, to help some of us navigate our way through  some of these issues.

Surely a good website designer should be able to go back to Square One  in the brain Of their users as they are putting things in place to be able to explain simply how you perform certain tasks?

 Primrose...think your right, that would be good...
So here are some of the items we have decluttered since being in lockdown... cant remember how many of each.....seems ages ago now, when we started
Lots of cardboard boxes (been saving for DD as was buying 1st home, seller pulled out day b4 exchange!)
Clothes sorted, in bag in shed for cs
Books sent to Ziffit, money recd.
Other newish p backs sorted, now in garage wait to sell, put on fbk sale page...
Both DD and I sorted 6 recipe folders, lots recycled, why do we keep them, we know we will never make half of them!! Lol
Lots of E mails deleted
Garden sorted, seeds set, transplanted, r and dwf beans, pots, carrots, beet etc., lots of weeds in flower bed gone, does that count.
Boazu....on one of your recent posts, you put about the fruit and veg not keeping, if you bought thru online shopping. Ring them and tell them if it happens again, they will refund you. Ive found this as well, have been refunded. I take pics and if they want proof, you have it. Make sure you have pkt with dates/info on as well. Just in case.
Well better crack on, going to recycle a LOT of hardy geraniums to one of DD vet nurse friends today, when she collects animal meds from her. DD is a vet nurse, bn on furlough, but hoping to go back soon.

Not as bad as my OH who bought back a shirt I disliked & had secretly decluttered to our local charity shop on the basis that it would be useful when the current shirt became too old to wear !

I have been busy decluttering some haberdashery and material as I've had a request from my DGD for some new Barbie clothes. Barbie's gone through her whole wardrobe and apparently hasn't a thing to wear . I've also had to make a sympathy card as one of our neighbours has passed away, so some paper crafting has left the building too. Nothing much else to report other than day to day items.

EnergyShifter, slow & steady progress means that you will do a bit each day 😉 rather than a big burst & then nothing for weeks 😉 So keep up the good work 👏

Good work boazu 👏

Great work Foofoopuppy 👏 As you are noticing a difference, I am awarding you a Gold Star ⭐️. Are you still considering moving? or has Covid-19 put that on hold for 2020?

Wow Gem-gem, lots of decluttering & DH on board  👏 Another 2 months of decluttering so another Gold Star ⭐️ winging its way to you 👏

TC77

Elsien and Primrose - do know that retrieval thing and smiled at your OH. I have admired something in the CS and then realised I'd donated it!

1324 - 1325 managed to do abit in the garden this evening between rain

1326 - new baking tray - too large for my oven. Have had a few years - no idea why in CS bag

1327 another bag taken to CS (still 4 or 5 to take)

1328 bits of paper declutter - small but cluttering everywhere.

put a few things on ebay but doubtful they will sell but its a staging before giving to CS  - more vintage glassware.
