2020 - banish the clutter

[Deleted User]

Not a lot of decluttering done over the last few days as too busy at work but this afternoon, I plan to take a bag of old bread bags to recycling bin at Supermarket, bag of items for auction site, bag to cs and shredding bag to recycling. 22/365

A lesson to be learned by me. Dont buy a pair of boots just because they are cheap. They fit, they will do but i really dont like them. What a waste of money.

Out they go.

Same issue here. The heel fell off on the middle of a night out. x

2 kids bikes, 1 scooter lots of other random "Man" junk out the garage going to the tip tomorrow. Lots of wires, 2 old mobile phones, 2 hi viz jackets, 1 fleece body warmer. NT and EH yearly books, lots of paperwork, 4 empty chocolate tubs.

Also a few boxed games with bits missing. Kids even sorted through their junk box and filled a bin bag.

I'm going through the pantry/baking cupboard and freezers later on today, as we have all changed our diet there will still be stuff in there non of us will be eating.

Next is the cookery books as most of them I've never even opened the cover and we've had them years.

Used up some body lotion I don't really like (and when I say used up, I scraped out every last bit!) and some frozen melon (I'm eating low carb now, so my freezer is full of fruit that I rarely use - I'm setting myself a challenge to incorporate a small amount of it into my diet every day so I can clear space for more useful stuff - and quite a bit of it is watermelon, strawberries and blueberries, so not as much of an issue as I'd thought).

I'm part of the way through scanning books/CDs/DVDs for webuybooks - its interesting what they do and don't want! That should mean a few bits I don't use plus at least one cardboard box out of the house next week.

I'm also trying to read a work book that I've really been struggling with - I restarted it before Christmas with the aim of finishing it by NY but failed (mostly because there were too many people here), but have now broken the back of it. As it's raining today, I plan to try to do a decent chunk in between laundry, cleaning some silver photo frames and doing some cooking. I won't get rid of the book, but it'll be a mental declutter!

Haven't done much in the last couple of days except decluttered the dining carpet of its dirt. I'm ashamed to say the water was black . I'm waiting for the carpet to dry before I tackle the cupboards in there, may leave that til Monday. Not putting it off but I have housework that needs more attention :eek:. Back to the 100mph life ! The good news is that the 2 cs bags have gone :j. Now I shall have to start another one .

Happy decluttering all

10. Recycled more cards along with papers from work.

11. A Christmas Garland returned to Li!dl for refund
The LEDs worked for about a week in December, but I couldn't find my receipt to return it.I messaged them on Twitter, and they sent me a letter authorising the refund, which I thought was quite good customer service.

Don't know when you go Mrs. SD, but have a good time when you go. Hope the weather is wonderful too.

Finished going through one of the food cupboards, sorting out so that I can see things. The new washer flooded the kitchen on Wednesday, so yesterday our friendly plumber came and fixed it, and decluttered some money for us.

I decluttered a curry and a cheesy veg out of the freezer. Tony will have the curry on Monday - Sunday being pizza day:j and I made a cheesy veg pie for the family - I'm not eating today - which seems to have gone down well.

I've packed for going:

A large magnifying glass with a light.
A beading kit for a Christmas ornament cover thingy.
A keto cookbook - very disappointing.
A round magnifying glass - like Sherlock Holmes used.
2 cups and saucers
A blackwork pattern
Purse on a chain
empty jewellry boxes
