I'm following in some of you guys' footsteps and looking at a small area as and when i can. I have just done two kitchen cupboards. Lots of items 2 years old or more. In the bin they go. About 26 items approx. in total. I have space in the cupboards and i can see things carefully.

Now up to 230!!

Minimal progress, but achieving 1 item everyday as minimum towards 'negative accumulation'. DD birthday today so new stuff into the house and I'm very happy that 20 days worth of stuff has left beforehand

Day 19
- 1 old school jumper for DS2 (was actually DS1s pushed down to DS2 so well used)

Day 20
- Childrens plastic princess vanity unit and stool to CS (not quite left the house, but identified for charity shop run tomorrow morning)

1. DO NOT PUT OFF TO TOMORROW WHAT CAN/SHOULD BE DONE TODAY
2. WRITE AND USE “TO DO LISTS”
3. LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
4. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
5. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’

Boo 😒 our holiday is over We had our last lunch & then pooled/chilled whilst waiting for our transfer to the airport @ 4:30 p.m. for an 8:45 p.m. flight :eek: Another hot day with some rain. Check in was actually painless, as was going through security :T Even better for DSis & I - there was a bar where we could smoke . Plane was 20 minutes late but better than the Marseille plane which was delayed by 4 hours :eek: Half way through the flight we hit some bad turbulence but other than that it was an uneventful flight. Arrived back in at Gatwick about 9:30 a.m. to freezing weather Collected bags, had a quick ciggie & our pre-booked cab got us home about 11:30 a.m. Straight in & put the kettle on for a cuppa
As it was so cold we all got changed into warm clothes. I managed to unpack DH & my bags + mostly sorted my post Had a delivery of pizza for late lunch & then fish’n’chips delivered for dinner. All 3 of us were nodding off & on until bedtime. I went to bed very late & DH was snoring so only in bed for an hour. Got up & dressed & started sorting the washing including the bedding I had stripped off before going on holiday The 1st wash load is done but it is still frosty outside so will be using the td
I have come home fully refreshed (but still have the gippy tummy ) so have already taken out 2 dressy tops from my wardrobe for the cs - not worn in a year

30 - 35 Two magazines, 2 newspapers, post envelopes, cardboard packaging - Recycled
36 - 37 Two dressy tops - CS bag
38 One ball of wool knitted into a scarf for the homeless

Today will be taken up with washing & drying + sorting paperwork
