2020 - banish the clutter

Willowtree222

Got a charity bag through for tomorrow so will give them the clothes I have sorted.
Slippers, boxes and some leggings with a hole in have gone into the bin. I need to take an old chair to the tip, but I can't manage it with my back at the minute. I will wait until it is better and then take it. 
Probably around 20 items. I'm not counting just keeping on plodding. x

Hello fellow declutterers, been MIA for a while so apologies, but I have been reading along every day.

I have been doing my daily decluttering of tins, plastics etc and today 2 more green waste bins have been emptied. We are in a Firebreak area so all the tips and cs shops are shut once more, not that I've been out much since March, but do look forward to a cs bag dropping through my door and then it's collection when I've filled it........ so satisfying. However none of that seems to be happening either and I have a bag full of bits and bobs ready to go  

Keep on decluttering, everyone is doing a sterling job and many thanks to our leader of cheer MrsSD.

Tuesday is another dark, dreary day & wet ☹️ DH did the now usual Tuesday sm trip to Li*l
Meanwhile I had a long relaxing bath - managed to declutter a hotel size toiletry. Half an hour reading the first of the SK Dark Tower books, then scrub, wash hair & out. I now feel fully pampered as I was generous with the body lotion 😉 
DH & I finished the hm soup with the last of the hm croutons  😋 

I have started knitting another pair of hand warmers + the MSE bit - a No Spend Day for me 👏
Dinner will be baked salmon fillets, boiled potatoes & vegetables (tbd)

Great decluttering Nicnak 👏 Hope your back 🤕 gets better quickly.

Good work EnergyShifter 👏

Nice to see you nannywindow 👋 What a nightmare - Firebreak Area - not sure that it does any good 🤔 Covid-19 is one thing, but the government completely trashing our economy is quite another. Moan over - need to stop as I could write pages 😱 Very MSE for getting rid of stress & not buying lotions & potions 😉  I have to say that cheering everyone on is keeping me sane 😉 Lovely to see how everyone is coping with the restrictions & STILL decluttering 👏

Mrs SD thanks for all the cheer leading, and I see you chasing my numbers!

1967 - old washing machine taken away (new one arrived and tested - seems ok)

1968 - leaky pen binned

1969 - used some of the bulk order of mouse/vermin proof wire behind the washing machine

Quickly went through DD's wardrobe with her and she gave me two items that didn't fit right. She said one was rubbing her arms, and the other was itchy. It's not a lot, but little and often will work for me. x

I’m assuming the magic words are MSE So I don’t get one of their messages at the bottom of my message?!
*456     DD took wheel trims I bought for the car I had ten years ago. She has taken them and popped them up for sale
*457    Also had an old microfibre head towel that was going to go in the rag bag but DD took that for her garage work
*458   Batteries-recycling
*459.  Presents out of the house for some relatives sent with DD which has saved me postage
*460   DD took more of her clothes including her Christmas top  but it’s a win win
*461   DM house fully decluttered ready to be handed back
I’m like Nannywindow in a firebreak area-Wales. It’s depressing to see the shops all shut again and the place like a ghost town. So relieved all Christmas shopping done

Now strict lockdown for a month so I will be storing stuff for the
CS.
2 books
1 tiny pile of bits of thread and wool from my needlecase. I am on my second mending and very MSE , only odd threads from the case are being used up. As they are only towels for the kitchen the thread doesn't matter. Now all needles tidied and pubs all facing the one way.A cotton reel is now quite expensive. So a penny or two saved.
Total now 105/122.
I think I will have to focus on clutter that will go in th recycling or the bin.
Keep safe everyone.

Pins not pubs  - some hope of a pub at the moment!
