2020 - banish the clutter

Have a lovely time away Mrs SD. Relax and enjoy!

Nicnak - i often regift stuff like this that is perfumed etc, but have used some of the products a couple of times with my son - but he has sensitive skin too so i generally don't use them anymore.

Im trying to use up candles too - i have lots that have been gifted to me - i love them - so am working my way through them and the house smells lush!

I have been forced to sort out a utility space, courtesy of Whirlpool and their dodgy machines.
I have enough dog toys to keep the dogs home going for a good few years and enough light bulbs to pretty much cover Blackpool illuminations.
They have been tidied rather than disposed of (sorry) but I've cleared a huge bag of rubbish and put two rubber mats out for any takers as our local freegle group appears to be defunct. Also got a huge bit of shiny netting material I swear I've never seen in my life before, to find a home for.

Elsien - I thought our local freegle was defunct, but found that people are using local facebook groups instead. It might be worth finding a couple particularly if you're going to have some large items to get rid of - I managed to shift two freezers, a cooker and a dresser via two different ones.

My food processor packed in yesterday - couldn't understand it - the motor was running, but when I put cheese on the grater it stopped and the motor just squealed away. :eek: It - and all its component pieces are now for the tip as grating cheese is what it get used for mostly. Another one bought from Arg*os and delivered yesterday afternoon.:T

I've had a look but the main one seems to be full of people trying to sell stuff which defeats the object slightly. Waiting to be approved for another one.

Our bed frame broke, so we have had to throw that out. Now we have a bit of a quandary - do we wait till we have moved to buy a new one so we don't have to transport it when we move?
Also threw out some old clothes that were only good for the bin.
Finally I have been working through burning my collection of candles, so the house always smells lovely now

When are you moving? If it is only a few weeks, I would hold out and order the bed to be delivered at the new house.

11 items from my underwear draw in the bin
1 cup broken by little one
10 baking items given to my sister (who bakes more than me!).
1 bag of herbal tea bags that have no label on and no date. They have been there years.
1 bag of muesli in the bin
1 box of corn flakes in the car to give to work for breakfast club.

Total = 25 items. Off to update signature. x

12 nail varnishes have gone in the bin, I rarely wear it and it’s all so old that it’s doesn’t apply well anymore. I really only paint my toes during the summer so I’ll wait till then to see if I want to buy ONE (and only one) replacement.
I’ve had a quick go over some of my ornaments and have a few along with some other small item in a new charity shop bag.
The coffee table I wanted to tidy has been started, the underneath has been done so it’s just items on the top to find new homes for too.
I was hoping to tackle a kitchen cupboard and draw but I’m not sure if that will end up getting done today or not. I’ll see how I feel later.

Running total: 2/20 bags decluttered
