2020 - banish the clutter

Willowtree222

Do you think they do it on purpose? 
That is true MRS SD..it is still helping me move items out the house! 
Next week her uniform will go in the bin After each day. My washing will be easier too next week.

Sadly not Mrs.SD the only home grown was the courgette but I had all the other ingredients and it's nice to have home mades in the colder weather.  I'm waiting for the plums on the tree to be ripe and then I shall make plum jam in a fair quantity, plum chutney and this year some plum sauce as well as having a go at 'home made prunes' in the dehydrator and of course plenty to eat fresh. We have damsons too so those will be cooked, sieved and jammed, it's my favourite.

Removed today. 
1 leap pad broken
1 blender
1 soup maker and the ton of attachments that went with it. No idea what any of them do to be honest. They look like something out of a rocky horror show in some cases. 
Have a lovely day everyone. x

Decluttered half a mint plant and some compost to plant it in, to DD. You were right MrsSD I should have bought more compost !

Stay safe and well. nan

Broken radio and dog boomer ball both sold and ready to be posted. 
The things you can get cash for never ceases to amaze me, considering I was going to send the radio to the tip before looking on ebay. It's not a huge amount but it's out the house so that's a win/win.

We went for a walk this evening and actually saw one of the people from Hedgehog Rescue and they can take more donations tomorrow so I've sorted out a few more bits and some books that can happily go to new homes and we'll drop them down there in the morning.

How fab being able to donate to the Hedgehog Rescue. I'm trying to find somewhere local to donate blankets and sheets, but the cat rescue only want food (bulk bought whiskas which our cat won't eat so have to drop off sometime).

1369 electronic declutter

1. WRITE AND USE “TO DO LISTS” - MINIMUM 30 MINUTE BURSTS OF ACTIVITY AT LEAST TWICE EVERY DAY

2. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT

3. I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO BE NICE TO EVERYONE & TRY TO SEE THE FUNNY OR PECULIAR SIDE TO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
4. DAY TO DAY DECLUTTERING WILL CONTINUE

Friday started slightly overcast, became clear, then overcast but not a drop of rain. Warmer than it has been recently. Knock on the door about 10:30 was ndn - spare set of keys for us to look after + 2 black bin bags full of shirts which are now way too big. Well timed as DSis & I went to cs to drop off my donations (previously counted) 🙁 Well organised - one person out, one in. Decided against having a look around as the queue outside was getting quite long.
We then went into W*lk*s, each spent a bit of money - doing our bit to help 😉 Back on the DLR & home within two hours. As we were walking back from the station we saw my DH getting on the bus - off to get an haircut. Only gone about 30 minutes - he was seen straightaway as the only customer & got straight on a bus coming back 🙂 
Dinner was pork in hm gravy & oven chips for DH & DSis. I had oven chips with reheated lo vegetables & a couple of fried eggs. 

1277 - 1280 Two newspapers, drinks cans, cardboard packaging - Recycled

1281 Bag of kitchen detritus - Binned

1282 - 1283 Two DVDs from DSis - CS bag

Good work villagelife 👏

Nicnak, I hope that uniforms are going in the washing bin rather than the rubbish bin 😉 😱 Good work on getting shot of gadgets 👏

Are you sure I can’t move in boazu? 😉 How serendipitous meeting someone from Hedgehog Rescue & being able to donate more of your items 👏

Nannywindow, very generous of you donating some of your precious compost 😇

Good work elsien 👏 Don’t forget one person’s broken radio is another person’s project 😉

Great work TC77 👏 & 🤞that you find someone to take the blankets & sheets 🤞

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