Ive not managed anything again all week but DH did clean out the cutlery draw while I was homeschooling. Again he didn't keep a list but ive guessed from the bits that i cant see. We have a boiler service next week and we can't even get to it so hopefully will be lots of decluttering done there.
It's my birthday today so my only plan is to declutter some cake 🎂

127-132 utensils

Today I am going to declutter some cleaning tasks!  I hate housework with a passion.  I hate the children being on gadgets all day as well (unfortunately with them learning at home, it's very gadget heavy).  So, we now have a new rule for the weekends!  Every hour the children have to get off their gadgets and do 10 minutes of jobs.  They can choose what jobs they do from a list, or from their ideas.  They are 14 and 16, so perfectly capable of helping   It's win win in my eyes.  I'm not sure they see it as a win win, but hey ho.

Still need to do some proper decluttering, with items out of our house, for next week.

Good afternoon people,
I had a bit more success this week, had 2 items to add to my 30 in 30 challenge (I challenged myself to sell 30 items in 30 days in January, I failed as only did 9 so far but it was because I was too busy with my self employed work thus trying to earn a proper wage). I returned an item for £50 and sold something for £7, so added both as both helped me declutter and earn money. I have a few things I might sell to we buy books/CEX before January is out too.
I shredded some of Mt. To-Shred that is in the corner of my office at work, helping clear some physical and mental space.
I used a little sample size body wash I think I acquired on a hotel stay last February, about 4 or 5 more to use up over the next week or so.

1. KITCHEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT

2. JUST DO ONE THING EVERY DAY (courtesy of bit_by_bit) OTHER THAN DAY TO DAY CLEANING & DECLUTTERING 
3. CLEAN ONE ROOM (TOP TO BOTTOM) EVERY MONTH (hopefully 3 weekly by the end of the year)

Trying again 🤞 I don’t think it has stopped raining since 8.00 p.m. last night ☹️ So Saturday is turning into a wash out - steady rain with no let up ☹️☹️ DSis had to brave the rain to pick up a new prescription for diabetes pills ☹️ DH has phoned his DSis - she had her 1st dose of vaccine & is currently feeling fine - no adverse effects 🤞 Her son-in-law is being let out of his room 😉 for dinner tonight 😉😉

Sum total of my activity is that I have sorted my post 😞 

263 Half inch of paperwork recycled

🤞 that my 2nd attempt at cheerleading works 🤞

Floss, Yah boo to the MOT expense ☹️  Well done on the cash for clutter & decluttering the sewing project 👏

Good work Barny1979 👏

Sorry you have been so tired villagelife ☹️ but well done on the decluttering 👏

You are welcome pamsdish 🙂 You are definitely reaping the rewards of all your hard work if the parrot care is becoming easier 👏 Forgot to ask, does the parrot talk to you? 

Wow kat360, homeschooling 4 kids 🤩 no wonder you haven’t had time to pop in 🙂 & yet you have still managed decluttering & rearrangement of cupboard contents 👏 Great news that you are appreciating the benefits of ‘Gone Spouse’ 😉 - I imagine the 5 of you are so much more relaxed 😌 

Great work mothernerd 👏 Especially pleased that Justin has been shown the door 😉👏

Not got very far as I have no charge 😱 See you later when I will resume cheerleading 🙂

Jar of coffee and bag of chocs gone to the food bank. Ate the last of the mince pies.

Finally got semi-organised and headed for the DIY cupboard of doom.

14 tins of paint/filler/wood treatment - some to to tip, some to a recycling point.
4 tools surplus to requirements going for recycling, 
one old roll of tape binned.
10 dvds, pack of cable ties and 16 curtain rings put on a local free to collect group.
Small tool bag gone for the chazza pile. 

(Various other tools discovered that I didn’t actually know I’d got)
Large bag of leads to be sorted tonight, either for freegle or the tip. 

The surplus windscreen liquid is still there looking at me. It did move a bit closer to the door, then somehow moved itself back again. 

And on a similar note, how many tubs of garden fence paint might one household reasonably be expected to have? Just out of curiosity, obviously?

Mending day today. Plus one has walked the dogs 5 times say no more!! I have scrubbed the carpet like it was the 1950's. 
Mended the wardrobe for now it won't last but if we can not buy one until we move it will have done its job, this thing has been round the family houses and is 18 years old I would say.
Mended a reversible belt with a glasses screwdriver.
Out to Mr T to buy c bang for £2 and 
had dehumidifier on for 6 hrs today to help with the damp feel of the place seems like has worked a treat although cold, it dried the washing too.
Usual household rubbish and recycling, nothing else out yet but I have a few things (4) earmarked to go into a sack tomorrow.
Welcome @GrannyKate ❤️💕
