decluttered two units - and the stuff in the drawers. Counting that as 15 items. I have also got rid of a book. It surprising how much I have been able to get rid of so far. It has been good for my mind. I'm still using the MariKondo method to decide if it stays or not. House has less for me to clean too :rotfl:

I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the decluttering, everybody is working so hard.

Only out of quick necessity to fit everyone in whilst I'm away!

Ahhh I'd have had that off you for my business


Didn't get much done today with the terrible weather and getting car partly fixed (can't blame mobile mechanic for giving up in the wind and rain!!) and new dog staying, but did manage to drive 3 huge old cushions I found in a wardrobe to the dump!


3 huge cushions
3 more boxes
2 more bubble wrap sheets
1 more air filled plastic wrap

Decluttered a few not very nice bits lurking in the fridge...

Also decluttered the conkers that really didn’t prevent the spider climbing just above them :think:

Decluttered a candle that hasn’t burnt evenly and so is all wonky.... no I won’t ever actually melt them down into new candles.

Day 14
Midweek is tough with work, then kids/homework and dog walk... but 3 more things decluttered from the house.
- 1 pair of wellies to charity
- 1 set of dumbbells to charity
- 1 kids jumper to the bin

Tomorrow will be a difficult with an 11 hours shift ahead of me but I am determined to find at least 1 item for bin or charity.

Sorry I never returned
Monday we basically relaxed. Just made it breakfast :eek: So far we have only eaten in the buffet restaurant but there is so much choice at breakfast, lunch & dinner that we haven’t felt the need yet to try any of the other 6 reastaurants :rotfl:
It is all inclusive - so plenty of beer :rotfl: First time at a resort & all 3 of us are loving it :smileyhea
Weather is in the mid 20’s but can be sunny, windy, torrential downpours for 10 minutes then dry but always warm. Plenty of wildlife - a peacock has the run of the place & you see him at breakfast sitting on the wall much to the consternation of the diners :rotfl: There are 3 peahens, ducks & ducklings, iguanas, an aviary of exotic birds & best of all flamingoes :j Various unidentified birds that come into the restaurant & have breakfast :rotfl: The ubiquitous pigeons are on the beach we paddled in the sea a couple of times - sandy private resort beach - the sea is quite choppy at the moment with strong waves that take the sand away & dump you in the water but the Caribbean Sea is warm :j One thing - DSis & I had a 5 minute head & shoulder massage - free :T then booked ourselves in for a full body massage + hydrotherapy for Thursday - my treat as a belated Christmas present
Tuesday DSis got up to see the sunrise but was unimpressed although apparently it was bright.
Went to breakfast reasonably early, spent half an hour in the wi-fi area then toddled off to the beach. DSis had one session in the sea + some paddling but DH & I spent several half hour stints & both ended up on the sand with the waves crashing over us unable to get up :rotfl: Both nearly split our sides laughing 😂 at our unimpressive attempts to stand up :rotfl: Had a burger & beer at the beach, another dip then it rained so decided to swap out our towels & return to the resort proper to sunbathe & swim in one of the many pools :j with a beer of course :beer:
DH & DSis are still there whilst I am in the wi-fi area writing to all you lovely declutterers

Now for some cheerleading only about 4 pages behind :eek:

Thanks Nicnak :T Perhaps a local women & children’s refuge or maybe your local church?
You are doing excellent - items out & monies in :T The 12th & 13th were good numbers out :T Up to 334 :T I have my work cut out when I get home :eek: One item & pennies in the bank :T

Welcome aboard ClaireT13 :T So happy that you ‘stumbled across the thread’:D You have gotten off to a rip roaring start :T:D & am very glad that it worked out with your son. I am looking forward to reading about all your successes Again lovely to have you on board :T

Thanks villagelife :Twe are definitely de-stressing nicely Well done on keeping items moving out :T you definitely have to work in the garden when the sunshine appears Steadily moving items out of your life - well done :T

Thanks jammydodgersandrhl :T Lovely that you are using your candles & not saving them for best :rotfl: Really quite jealous that the Marie Kondo method is working for you :T I am not that brave

I have got to the bottom of page 26 :j only 3 more pages to go :eek:

May see you later after a shower & dinner
