Happy Sunday all,
We have just had a roast chicken, plus enough for tea this evening and lunch tomorrow. 
Washing is dry and put away. I have wudupa bar 1 Pyrex dish which is in to soak. 

Need to go to the shop as hoping to get some reduced eggs to make some puddings, cakes etc.

3 bits of clutter to go today
Old hoody out, old joggers out and old slippers out. The postman will not know who I am 😂

To do:
Bag of stocking filler type bits I have left over to go to in the post my niece for Easter. 

Black bag of 20 clothing items on hold (to either sell or donate) as 12th April seems a whole away yet. 
Still have shoes in car!!😉
Still have the half pole 😌

No other news except I've walked dogs twice already and now plus one wants me to go out for another walk. Well at least if I wear my legs out to stumps I shall not need the shoes  😂

Where ever you are I hope you have a little sun to enjoy and a nice cup of tea.

Lockdown Love Handles. I love it  Not been in much as not declttering much. I have been doing jobs on the allotment and in the garden so hopefully will start to lose my LLHs  I think my CS will be opening about April 12th so I can take my stuff in then. Not long mow

Allotment sounds good.
Being off work for a while is motivating me, so took textiles (rags, bedlinen etc) to recycling - couldn't wait for CS, and food and groundsheet to our donation hub (still open as supports refugees and those homeless) 465 - 475
cardboard box, old bankers box, 476 - 477
been putting things back in their place, and some cleaning, 
Started sanding garden chairs 478 (will hopefully sand more and paint this week)

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)

Sunday was another sunny day but chilly in the shade ☹️ Started on paperwork which has built up yet AGAIN 😔  Found my NHS number so will try to book my first Covid vaccine.  Spent time in the kitchen with DH - batch cooked: mirepoix (5 portions), roasted vegetables (3 portions), large cauliflower & bacon gratin (2 meals for 3 people). Dinner was the gratin with baked pork steak & roasted tomatoes. Delicious 😋 

465 - 469 Kitchen recycling, 2 plastic pots, cardboard packaging, drinks cans - Recycled 

470 Kitchen detritus - binned

D123456789, motivation to declutter is a huge win when you have the time to declutter 👏
Well done on the batch cooking & well done to your DH for cleaning the shutters & windows 👏 I would keep him on 😉🙃

gilly1964, Great start on Operation Declutter Lockdown Lard 👏 Hopefully DH will be able to join in on the decluttering asap 😉 

Great work TC77 👏 We are still in competition on our numbers 😉 Now you are putting me to shame 😉 - you have been busy & well done on starting the sanding to upcycle your garden chairs 👏

A great day’s work moneyonmymindsam 👏 I did have to smile at the potential result of excessive walking 🤭

Well done on the allotment decluttering bit_by_bit 👏 taking advantage of the sunny weather 🙂

Great work EnergyShifter 👏 well done on getting into the 200’s 👏

Good morning, all, hope everyone is ok.

I helped DH tidy the shed yesterday, so he's got a small pile to go to the tip, then did general outside tidying.

Also decluttered some old magazines into the recycle bin.

Just tootling along getting rid of odd bits here and there, but it all helps.

118 old emails deleted

Recycled some leaflets put through the door by the postman( some doublers) and lots of Welsh paperwork, we get everything in Welsh and English, seems such a waste of paper IMO, I wish we could choose beforehand. Also out a plastic hand wash bottle, a milk carton and an orange juice carton, a coffee jar and lots of emails deleted too. A few more small bits of rubbish, wood and metal from the garden gone.

Tonight I need to do a "throw it all in" omelette for tea as I need to use up bits and bobs from the fridge. DD and the DGC came over yesterday and we had a socially distanced shout across the patio, the DGC also demolished a millionaires cheesecake, so out went the box too. I've missed them so much even though they only live 5 mins away and there wouldn't have ever been any leftovers had they been in the house as normal  

Sending hugs to anyone in need. Take care of yourselves.

Spent the morning tramping through the woods on a 3 mile walk (takes a long time with LO) she likes to climb up the hills jump in the puddles trample through the mud and came home with more mud over her than you can imagine.... I washed her outdoor clothes  they are hanging outside drying now and DH cleaned 3 pairs of boots 👍 so not too much mud in the house. 

I hoovered all of downstairs and dusted the front room. DH is filling up next doors green bin which will be collected tomorrow- ours is already full, and she hasnt done any gardening. So it’s good to clear some overgrown shrubs and pull some weeds and get rid of the rubbish straight away...

Watched some you tube clips of a secret slob doing a “house  reset” for new year ( I know I am a bit late) anyway it took her days..... her LO were cruising around whilst she scrubbed (so I can’t use that excuse) and she was so thorough wiping down all the walls and table legs and pulling out sideboards to clean behind...

then I watched a clip of just do 5 minutes per room - this is my usual cleaning- i’ll try to do it more often.
