2020 - banish the clutter

bit_by_bit

Just popped in for a quick hello. The CS is opening next week thankfully so I can drop in the bag I have for them. 
Good news on the selling front. I have sold enough stuff to start working through the next box on the bed for Fleb*y. 
Head is battleing heart over all things clutter this week, especially fabrics.
My mojo also seems to have wandered off. I hope normal service returns very soon.    However I did manage some photos and listing some books yesterday.
Keep well everyone.

Afternoon all
  
Happy Sunday. Washing done. Just worked out my 90 day ebay sales and profit is £750 over three months so worth doing after all. Alright, I must admit the posting is a PITA.

Today I am 100% going to try to get to the clothing banks in the local car parks as it will be so nice to finally donate this and then they will be out the house.

Not much to report although feel exhausted today. Looking forward to food which is going to be roast chicken when I muster up the energy. 

Ebay parcels to drop off so going to get those out the way.

I put my hall rug in the bin . It was way past its best but I kept walking by it thinking oh when I find a new one I'll bin that. I'll still get a new one at some stage but in the meantime I don't have to look at a manky old holey thing. My bin is full now though so I'll have to hold back on the chucking out for this week unless it can go in the recycling.

Thank you Mrs SD for my medal. DD1 had more stuff delivered here and comes round and leaves chaos .

2 disco lightbulbs rehomed via FB, a photo album gone in the charity shop bag and some old boxes recycled. 
But, the surfaces in the rooms I’ve done are staying comparatively clear (apart from the kitchen which is a work in progress) and I’m happy with that.  
I’m also pleased that I’ve so far resisted the urge to acquire some of the stuff from the ex-neighbours charity bag. Progress indeed.

800. Had my "garden of shame" cleared - it looks twice the size than before!  Still  unattractive but at least won't upset the neighbours.  
801.  Re-organised my phone apps - including deleting social media.  I'm not overly - addicted but still spend more time on than is good for me and determined to get to grips with it. 

I have a real sense of achievement this eve - I painted my front door, front garden fence and gate & changed the letterbox.  I've been planning to paint the front door for years and have had the paint since the first lockdown and the new letterbox for 8 years ( from when I last painted the front door !!!!)     It looks really lovely - I'm very pleased with the result.

802. painted front door
803. Painted garden gate
804. Painted fence
805. replaced letter box
806. dead letter box - bin.... 
807. Set up Instant Ink for my new printer
808. Finally got around to setting up schedule on Hive ( 2 years  )

*536.     Pair of DMs shoes-shoe recycling bank
*537.     Advent calendar beauty birthday present. While this was a present that was always going to leave the house, it was a battle as a nightmare to pack. So I’m putting the present, cardboard packaging and other packaging altogether as I had to cut up bits of boxes and rejoin. Basically a Blue Peter job!
*538.     Face wash of DDs used up. Bathroom is looking much better, less carp knocking about.
*539.     Finished off a sheet of sticky labels, backing in the bin
