Eek... DH has done some of the food cupboards and a shelf in the pantry taking out everything over a year out of date. Lots of baking stuff, boxed cake mixes, food dyes that are no longer the right colours, part used candles, lots of open cake case packs all grouped together and spare tubs thrown.
He was quiet eager to tell me how many items he had thrown, he's learning 🤣
We have found some bags of mini eggs bought for last Easters baking that are a little out of date, I'll sample them later.

I visited my Sister's partner ( I am the only person he sees). I said it was about time I started sorting her paperwork. A few years ago she had already sorted through everything a few years ago including the items in two storage units. He took me into the garage and showed me tow 8ft stacks of really useful boxes and 6 or 7 large bags for life full of stuff. I bought two boxes home and have been through the lot to remove confidential and person identifiable waste. Sorted into shred and recycle piles. I have save about an inch worth of papers but eventually they will go. Nothing else is coming in until that lot has gone. I am doing two bags or boxes at a time.
I had a text from the CS. they are looking at cleaning and swapping the sale items to spring summer with a possibility of opening not long after. I wait to see what actually happens as it seems to me you can't really plan for anything at the moment.Wife, mother, gardener, nurse, Big C survivor.

Hi all,
Not much happening on the decluttering front. I have a day off tomorrow so might see if I can motivate myself to tackle the loft or a wardrobe or 2!

What a wet day here! Good weather for indoor jobs though.
132-6 Letter to lawyer with 4 forms signed. Going to count that as 5 as it all took ages and two other people have to sign as well, so there were covering letters to each of them too.
137-40 four items gone on Freebike
141 Bag of hen food as decluttered by the hens! (though new bag in, which fair enough)
142 OOD turron decluttered into a pudding for tomorrow night.

Okay, since I last reported anything 3 big black bags have gone out. I am claiming one of them so 8/104.
I don't include plastic or glass as I have always been good with that.
Under the 'Know thyself' campaign it seems as if I am a person that does a burst of work and then collapses. I think the key to making the periods of collapse shorter is to stop being so horrible to myself when they happen. That internal voice takes away so much energy.
I had a good day today so am feeling very happy.
huge hugs to all
