Up early as always, not a lot about on the job websites today. Going shopping soon, and hopefully I will pass a not full or open clothing bank.

Speed tidy of each room bar one as was a bombsite.
It's pouring with rain so clothes on heated airer. 
Going to leave my posting to tomorrow so I can have a break from that. 

Nothing much to report, will try to declutter a bit more later but very old dog blanket out and an odd patterned pillow case so far.

Went for my first vaccine yesterday. Moved lots of things round in my room but no numbers - watered all the plants and know which ones are most in need of moving on. I'm running low on yoghurt pots but there are 2 piles of small plastic plant pots - had some plants delivered last year as I was terribly slow at getting things set off. After that I'll start cutting up 2 l plastic bottles but also need to get my polytunnel covered up again and the 'new one' built. I tried in the autumn. New one is same size as the old one so was hoping I could just put the new cover over the old frame and take my time with the second one but life is never that simple, is it. Have put the broken cover back twice and had help a third time but it whips off again fairly quickly - was hoping to have at least a covered space to paint/ do diy in when the weather was bad.

So lots to do but today will be plodding along indoors - some expected injuries and a few unknown ones. I have been limping on both legs for the past two days but have a sore spot on the bottom of my foot and no idea what from. I also need to make a Mother's Day card and sort a present - I bought a small plant last week (was thinking of nipping into Morries for flowers and sweets after the vaccine but the way home was straight ahead and it had already rained on my on the way there). I think I have a lavender bag part/ mainly done (mum admired one I made for my d-i-l so I used the last piece of glitter felt to make a similar one) and have just brought some multi photo frames into my room. They were bought ages ago to make 'family collages' (one was to be mum's partner's family) but despite multiple reminders, recent photos have not been sent, so will attempt something with what we have (photos can always be changed round when they arrive - DS2 has apologised 3 times, when he has called with other things). At least I have a photo of my grandpuppy to include.

Haha. Its only working because I am not doing the shredding  This paperwork belonged to my sister. It is a lifetime of business stuff from her many activities and also her life. She had kept it in two storage containers among other stuff until a few years ago when she thankfully sorted through the lot and got it down to 18 big plastic boxes. Thank goodness.
A load of greenhouse glass passed on to another allotmenteer today. I am counting as 1 large item as there is so much of it. Also a metal trellis thing I wombled has gone to the allotment onto flower bed.

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been in the loft room, there are 3 storage boxes up there which I have been through. Came out with one bag of recycling mostly cardboard packaging saved for Justin no doubt. And half a bag of Rubbish. Have some packages to send later but nothing much else. Keeping on top of the washing, and listed a few more items to sell.

Afternoon all, had a good sort out of the shoes and coats today (been meaning to do it for ages). Have bagged up a whole load of shoes that will fit our youngest soon, so they can be stored. Have also sorted some for rubbish and some to pass on to others as the youngest has outgrown them.  Loving being able to close the door on the shoes now. 
On the list for another day is to sort the hats/gloves as we've got loads of odd ones and probably some that are outgrown now.

Decluttered a sentimental item for £100. Not sure how I feel in reality but someone will love and admire it and to be honest was only sat in a box in bubble wrap under the bed.

No plans to do anything with the cash but it feels funny to let go of things I have carted around from move to move for years 😂 

Aiming to boost my (non-existent) income to £550 this month, well that's the goal so today's sale has boosted the pot. 
Hope everyone is doing well, I didn't find a clothing bank so boot of the car remains cluttered but I can live with that
