bit_by_bit

Popping by to say I have decluttered my tax return,, Online so no baggage except the mental type. Just got my sister's probate to do now and thenI can relax. 
After all the clearing and decluttering in teh through lounge cleaning was dream today. 
Take care everyone.

Elsien I guess it depends how big the tubs of fence paint are, how many you have & how many metres of fence you have...

Thanks MrsSD, We are all so much more relaxed now. We have made a bucket list of things that we were not allowed to do and are slowly working our way through it. My ex text me this morning to tell me that he had booked out eldest dog into the vets to be euthanised. He's 14 and can no longer bend to go to the toilet, he's been slowly getting incontinent and has difficulties getting up and laying down. He's now got a really bad cough that isn't getting any better too so its really a kindness even though its really sad.    
I tackled the boys room today, got rid of: a few random McDonald's toys, lots of random pieces of paper, 2 finished colouring books, broken crayons, dried out felts and a rubber that had been bitten

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)

Earnest never popped by 😉 A bit of a comedown from last night’s dinner, we are having Baked beans on toast with the addition of grated cheese & fried eggs for DH & me.

264 - 265 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans - recycled 
266 Kitchen detritus - binned

Great work D123456789 👏 eclectic mix of decluttering & more cash for clutter 🙂👏

Great work moneyonmymindsam - decluttering & cleaning 👏 Re the junk drawer - remember it is hidden clutter & one day when you are feeling bored/strong you will tip it out & be brutal 😉 I have faith 🙂 Re donations of clutter from other people, another poster (forget who 😞) suggests accepting the clutter with the proviso that if it is not useful to you it will be donated to the CS. Apparently it is surprising how often the offer is rescinded 😂 Remember if they want to store their stuff in your home, then they should pay a fee 😉😉 What a great idea moneyonmymindsam 👏🙂 perhaps we could have a virtual party 🎊 ? Well done on your successful mending day 👏 & I was exhausted reading about your 5 dog walks 😉😉

EnergyShifter, sorry to hear that the downs have outweighed the ups BUT you have successfully negotiated a virtual workshop (yes it should be counted 🙂) so you can do Anything you set your mind to 👏🙂😉👏 I tried to put the date in my calendar but the recent update means my iPad won’t accept a calendar update 😡 Good work 👏

Party time Nicnak 🎉🥳 your skip is full in less than 24 hours 😉 The kitchen fitters will just have to take their rubbish with them - cruel but ..... 😉

Excellent work bit_by_bit 👏 cash for clutter & eating a frog - medal 🏅 on its way 🙂 The NHS are probably grateful for non Covid19 patients 🙂 Good luck with completing your projects 🤞 A second medal 🏅 is on its way for decluttering a 2nd frog 👏 - you are putting me to shame 😞 Last frog dealt with so one Gold Star ⭐️ on its way 👏👏

Great work TC77 👏 I do love a good paper list 😉 Excellent decluttering 👏

Good work short_bird 👏

@elsien I would think _either_ half a tub _or_ 4 tubs. Nothing in between.

Nothing out today other than general rubbish but some stuff gathering. Paper is being collected in a bag because the paper bin is full - for the third time, managed to squeeze a bit more in twice. Feeling under the weather today, struggling to concentrate, read or do simple puzzles. Continued with tasks outlined the other day -
1)   recipes. Several located but need to go back to fill in some detail (was fed up of stopping and starting the video to get the list of ingredients). Have a rough idea of 'how to' do 3 or 4 but was making myself hungry and my eyes were hurting. Mum only wanted rice pudding for lunch so I carried on eating bits from the fridge and freezer (lots of grazing today but mostly healthy) and planned chicken dinner will happen tomorrow (alongside a couple of Chines dishes hopefully).
2)   embroidery. Did 5 or 6 hearts in outline on the canvas over two evenings and am currently on the fourth (filling in) this evening.
Using up lots of threads from my use up box but atm just saving emptied 'cards' and will count up the number of threads used when the task is completed. Paused one because I can no longer see the difference between pink and peach threads. When I did the outlines I started with navy blue, then a couple of dark brown ones and not sure what colour the last one was (it's a very very dark grey - looked at it in daylight. Several unfinished cards of thread because the amount left was not enough for a full row - will be condensed tomorrow - 3 or 4 single pieces of leftover thread on one card (again I need daylight to accurately colour match.

So no total for today but lots of potentials.

Feeling slightly less tired. We have had furniture delivered and dates confirmed for when work will be done in the house. We need radiators out in and a wooden floor laid.
214-226 coat hangers . Will probably be more.
227 almost finished perfume.
228-232 moisturiser and body lotion samples used up.
233 an old armchair.
234 garden chair back to the garden. We had been using it before new sofas were delivered.
