2020 - banish the clutter

garden_girl_2

Decluttered a tooth on fri  which cost me £171....not happy and ive now got tooth ache around the area...I dont like it !!
DD has decluttered a carrier bag of old underwear, ready to go to rags somewhere.
Ive decluttered a load of paperwork, inc receipts, box of 'to do' shredding is waiting for me, some will go in compost bin and some into a bag for general waste (black bin). Someone is coming to buy 2 small indoor plant pots later, so that will be another box to break up and put in blue recycling bin.
I have potted up 48 pansy/viola plants into trays from home grown. Still have a LOT more to do, then I will try and sell them on when big enough. Ive also planted lots of other seeds, hope they grow too!! Better get up and get on with something, take my mind off my mouth!!😁😁🤤🤤

I haven't been on here for a while but I decluttered lots of stuff yesterday. All clutter from my house. My home feels so much more spacious, in fact my living room feels quite empty! We are still considering moving house before the stamp duty holiday ends so it does focus your mind on what you want to keep.

I think I decluttered about 30 items.

We have now decluttered it from shed, friend came round NOT to buy a cycle!! Got talking, said about it, he looked at it and took it away for 40. He will get it repaired!! Woohoo job done😂😂

Decluttered the front hedges and almost DH as he cut through the trimmer lead Luckily no damage done to himself or the hedge trimmers, except the lead which had to be shortened. I had to finish the hedge using manual clippers but thank goodness there was not much left to do.

Garden_girl. I hope tooth pain easing and sorry it had to be decluttered. I'm hoping mine may be saved but think it will be decluttered too... And dosed up on painkillers. 
Down at my dad's - going to the tip for him. Been labelling keys and trying to persuade him to get rid of old ones, testing dozens and managed to get one stuck ( wrong key buy turned)... Luckily  an internal door !

Sunday mainly overcast but with a few sunny periods & a lot colder than it has been. Yet another lazy day, although I did pick a few more ripe green tomatoes - almost 400g - now starting to collect for green tomato chutney. Also did a small amount of paperwork & prepped for the long call to bank tomorrow. Made DH an egg sandwich - egg fried in pan used for bacon. Dinner was oven baked salmon fillets & hg tomatoes, boiled hg potatoes with a couple of sm potatoes & garden peas. Yummy 🤤 An hour later we had crumble (hg apple & rhubarb) & custard 😋 
I have just watched one of my favourite films - The Shawshank Redemption.

Great work on clearing the car bit_by_bit 👏 Shame about the ‘angry people’ - I do miss the initial period of lockdown - the first month most people seem to have been kinder & more generous of spirit. However that seems to have dissipated in a haze of government incompetence, contradictory messages from TPTB, depression, anger at everyone & fear of everything - engendered mainly by the government. It seems we have even less control of our own lives than usual.

Excellent work Chocolatedrinker 👏 That is a huge total (2742) & as such I am awarding you a Gold Star ⭐️ 

Great work garden_girl_2 👏 You appear to be living up to your name 😉 Good luck with the pansy/viola plants & I hope you earn lots of pennies 🤞 Ouch 😣 to the dental cost. May I ask was that private or NHS? Woohoo 🥳 - that counts as £85 - £40 in your hand & £45 saved 😉

Nice to see you Wednesday2000 👋 Well done on the decluttering 👏 Sounds like you are noticing a huge difference - it must be so gratifying that your hard work is paying off 👏

Now, now nannywindow - a bit extreme your DH trying to declutter himself 😉 but well done on the hedge trimming 👏

TC77, I must admit that I am always loathe to throw away keys so do have some sympathy for your dad 🙂 Fingers crossed that your tooth can be saved 🤞 

Well Done EnergyShifter 👏

StickyTheStickInsect you are welcome 🙂 Being a lover of lists, I made a list & added each person as they joined the thread - name & any target set - the gold stars I award are noted down against their names. You are currently in possession of 5 Gold Stars - I hope you are keeping them polished 😉

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

Been a couple of weeks since I posted, but I read the posts everyday (nearly).

My daughter from another mother (Odi) and her hubby and family were down here on holiday last week.  Odi amazed everyone - including herself - and passed her test a week before they came down, so she drove down from Liverpool to Camber.  Everyone in the North says that Kent/Sussex are flat, but after driving round Rye and Hastings and over to see us, she disputes it.  They called here this morning on their way back and took Pickles our black cat who hates other cats, and, as such, was spending most of her time upstairs.  When they left here she was yowling loudly in the car - though whether she'll be able to drown out 4 kids is another matter.

We keep on taking a couple of bags to the charity shop when we go out on a Tuesday - yet you can't see any spaces where things have been.  I also sold 5 books to Zifflit - not for much, but every little helps.  I must update my signature.

Stay well everyone. x

Eventually managed to catch the scrappy man, so all the scrap metal that had been sorted has finally left the premises. There will be more, but DH has yet to cut it up as apparently he wants to keep the straight bits
