2020 - banish the clutter

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

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 ?’

Thursday has been a dry, overcast day & quite warm for January. The washing & drying mountain is almost completed :T The last load of washing is in the td & everything else is dry & folded but not yet put away There is a very small amount of hand washing to be done
The last 3 shelves of my wardrobe have been sorted & rearranged. Just a paper bag filled with plastic wrapping & bits & pieces of rubbish Tomorrow, DH has agreed to sorting out the shelves in his wardrobe - he doesn’t realise that we will also be sorting out the 4 out of 5 drawers in the chest of drawers as well :rotfl:

Dinner was chicken fried in butter, boiled potatoes, garden peas & fresh carrots.

55 - 57 Paper bag, newspaper, plastic drinks bottle - Recycled
58 - 59 Bag of kitchen detritus, detritus from wardrobe shelves - Binned
Then minus one - DSis took back the dress so now 58/2020

LAst night - More decluttering goodies from Amazon arrived - drawer dividers.

My drawer of doom in the kitchen is massive at 900mm wide and quite deep. Everything gets chucked in....

2 drawer dividers later - bin bags neatly lined up, small kitchen tools, odd bits and bobs, all neat. Large pile added to charity shop pile too.

Decluttered 2 meals out of the freezer , and some bottom-of -the -fridge cherry toms got fried with the salmon.

Hello :wave:
I wish to report that I have donated another bag to the cs :T. It contained another duvet and more of my childhood books. ( I don't know why I kept so many books ! )There are 2 brand new T. shirts for my Dad to try- DH bought the wrong size and they have been sitting in a drawer for quite a while :mad:. If they don't fit it they will go in a new cs bag which is all ready and waiting to be filled .
I have thrown out 2 light bulbs, which blew on the same day in different rooms :cool:. Also recycled are a few empty cardboard boxes, 2 finished smellies bottles and an empty witchhazel bottle. I have also decluttered the ceiling fan of its dust, well DH did as I'm vertically challenged :rotfl: I can't remember the last time it was done though .
Happy decluttering all

Working from home today so I can declutter on the sly all day

Decluttered a pile of post sitting on the bottom stair - leaflets, election rubbish, flyers, junk mail - all gone

After decluttering the drawer of doom in the kitchen was left with a pile of stuff that didnt belong there - rehomed some, some on the CS pile, one in the bin

CS pile is now overflowing - to be taken to the CS tomorrow morning without fail!
