2020 - banish the clutter

basketcase

I've been lurking for a week or so, no time to catch up with my 'report'.  

Had to send a quick comment to say that I agree with you all.  It's not exactly user friendly and there have been no instructions to help ease the pain.

Like you, Mrs S-D, I don't know whether to log off or not.  Before the changeover, I was reminded to change my password every time I logged on.  So I did.  Then I was told again when I signed in, so I did!  I've closed the little box so.  So if I completely disappear you'll know why... 

I also agree about the smilies.  What's the word I seek?  Inane?  Anodyne?  Useless?

I'm currently sulking because I can't find anything on the forum! 
Why are the headings really large and the interesting bits about anniversaries, no. of posts etc, so very very tiny?

Nope not a fan of this new layout at all. Its not very user friendly
In the meantime
*31       facewash DD left and didnt want saving -used and recycled
*32       more and the last of the christmas chocs eaten
*33       empty perfume bottle found-recycling
*34       lint roller handle(have several already) -recycling
*35       birthday presents-quite a few given out.
Just worked out how to edit for
*36      old chewed cat toy-binned
I have bought quite a few storage boxes to tidy and sort out the spare room bits (it's been an addictive process). Things look a lot better and slowly sorting more things for recycling or CS

I'm another one who doesn't like this new forum - no way of getting daily emails - just an email every time someone posts then I have to declutter them. It also looks like double spaced when I type and singloe space when posted - weird. Anyhow - DH has been sorting out his books. He has a book stand on his bedside table and it was about 3 layers deep so I persuaded him to move them before they landed on him in the night. So that's another 4 cs bags. On Sunday we decided that we would go vegan. So we de-cluttered a lot of frozen/cupboard food to a friend - 2.5 packs of croissants 8 in a pack - 3 packets (6 each) frozen raw croissants - fish, fish fingers, pizza, gravy mixes etc - 42 items in all. Tins of fish and such like have been kept to put into a foodbank. I checked and I can continue eating low-carb and fasting on a vegan diet. Of course being us we didn't decide until Veganuary was over! rotfl:

Can't work out how to find my last post in the new format so thinking I'm on 146 but may be wrong but as I'm not counting everything will go with this.

148 - 154 old make up and toiletries binned (kids but I got rid of them - toiletries not kids)

162 unwanted purchase returned by post

Have spent the morning, cleaning our old empty house, still have a 3 weeks before I hand the keys in so can take my time, good job as the body is giving me real jip at the moment.. 
Not all that much left to do, windows inside, fill and touch up a couple of picture holes and then I’d like to to tidy the garden (weed etc) then I’ll be happy to hand it back.. 
Not sure about the new layout etc.. will take some getting used to.. It also keeps telling me I cant get in, an IP issue (cloudflare?) what’s that all about? Raaar.. its popping up every time I want to post something too..

I decluttered £90 this morning to a roofer who has put some tiles back on the roof so that (hopefully) we won't get any leaks with the bad weather over the weekend. 
Will also be decluttering more money on Sunday as having party for birthday child... so I'm feeling pretty skint at the moment!
