2020 - banish the clutter

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

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

Saturday was mostly bright & sunny with occasional overcast periods but no rain. A lot cooler especially with the stiff breeze. Washed & water proofed DH’s motorbike jacket. Mostly dried on line but brought in as it was threatening to rain. DH cooked cheesy pasta - one of his really good ones 🙂 

1417 - 1425 Paper recycling, kitchen recycling, drinks cans, cardboard packaging, 5 plastic lids - Recycled

1426 Kitchen detritus - Binned

Such a shame Nicnak - but at least the ex is taking care of it.

Nothing wrong with plain & simple boazu 🙂 I can always bring a few spices to add 😉 Hope the new Sky box is up & running properly. No space for a greenhouse & am quite jealous of your ripe tomatoes. I have lots of green tomatoes, some a really decent size, but no signs of any going red ☹️ Maybe I am just being impatient. 2nd crop of lettuces are coming along nicely, as are the rocket, kale & chard. Nothing to harvest yet but soon I hope 🤞 

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

Morning, 
The bread maker was collected yesterday. Didn't realise how much room it took up on the shelf until it was gone. Now I just need to not fill that shelf up again! 
It's nice seeing clear shelves again. x

It's a pity bread makers are such large pieces of kit.  Our kitchen isn't large and has relatively limited counter space yet this is one of the most regularly used appliance so we have to accommodate it and work round it.

I have bought a pressure cooker that does bread making too. I have had it a few months for this reason. I need something that does most things in one. x

Have seen eldest DD this morning with OH and baby we all went to pick plums from our tree and they have taken home quite a few pounds of Mirabelles and a couple of pounds of the deep purple ones that are just beginning to ripen.  Back here for Pizza and salad for lunch followed by home made Victoria sponge with homemade damson jam in and then I managed to give DD some store cupboard items she's short of, two lots of baby clothes that had been waiting in the study, fed baby with as much fruit as she could eat (quite a lot) and DD then found my jar of dehydrated rhubarb, which she sampled, gave some to OH who loved it too and stole the whole stash! I shall do some more and some more from them too, don't know if any of that counts as decluttering but it was great fun and I've had a really super day!
