2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

Willowtree222

Wow, lots going on. Looks amazing.
I put up the bar stools today so four boxes out in the recycling. They were disproportionately huge but has left a very clear space in my garage.
Did some cleaning but my shoulder is restricting a lot

That all looks lovely BarbCh.  Bonus room crossed off my cleaning grid as GD4 and GS4 were happy to sort out toy/room/small bedroom.  Former is 8 and she was slightly more actual help than her 5 year old brother.  A few items to go out but mostly just emptying room, cleaning it out then returning things in correct boxes and drawers.  1 bag of rubbish and 1 thing to recycling.

Hi Barb.

I love your photos

Such a lovely welcome entrance and staircase. Love the chair too.

I've been moving my ornaments around to make a change. I'll put some photos up too on the following post as I'm happy with the way my house looks at the moment. It's too late to take full room shots, might do that another day.

I forget to add that I have two more jars to give to the candle lady to use.
I always cut out the last of the candle wax in the jar and use it in my wax melt burners as the fragrance is the same and ensures you get every last bit used. I take out the metal wick holder first though.

Photos as promised

My entrance hall

My mother's wood carvings

A photo of my son as a young boy

It was not his shoe. It was presented to him with added cardboard wings and sprayed gold to represent the winged messenger from Greek mythology when he helped at a festival in his teens, as he was always swift to fetch things. It means a lot to me now.

A few posts ago you gave us an insight into how you manage with your hip and functioning. I am using your ideas to get things done while i have this curious leg pain and numbness. Thank you! Who knew you could do so many jobs sitting ( loaded WM Today!) And flinging things down the stairs in bundles ..yup did that with clean t towels and cleaning cloths from airing cupboard. My cats are bemused by it all. 🤣

Toiletries, pills and medical bits divided into everyday, frequent or sometimes use. I have picked of each of the larger items to keep out (in a bag) and the rest have been returned to the drawer. A few bits left - need to locate and find a spot for my CPAP filters - small and expensive (they won't stay in the bag for transporting the machine and the regular ones disappear - dark grey foam inside a black bag).

Decided food, washing and an action plan for next week were my priorities so put a bedspread, one of my painting dresses and 2 rags on the line to dry. Chopped lots of veggies (best part of 2 large leeks, nearly a whole head of celery and a half a bag of peeled carrots that mum did in the week (her wrist has stopped working again now), mixed two sauces (garlic, chilli and ginger and oyster sauce and set beef and two huge chicken breasts to marinate), Have used hall the chicken and most of the veg, ate half and will have the other half tomorrow and will cook the other two tomorrow, some to eat, some to freeze.

Net week will be finishing a couple of projects off, a few admin things to chase up - Diabetic eye test was fine but they said there are some changes not related to my diabetes and if the promised fine weather arrives do some work outside (bit by bit). 5 things out today (did at least 7 trips to the bin).

Been a been a busy few days decluttering: Even hubby has been doing some sorting out.
Cancelled two medicals, we bought them at Christmas but due to C19 the dates have changed. Thought we would wait till we can guarantee having all tests,
