2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

bit_by_bit

Dropping by to reoport a pile of greenhouse glass to an allotment friend (counted as one large item). Also a bag of excess of clothes hangers to DS2.
Also an achievment to report. I have finally finished working through my DS's lifetime of papers. I didn't expect this to be done so quickly but I have been sticking at it. Four bags of shredding and two very full bags waiting for the scoutmaster to recycle. I will log as they go out.

just glad you're getting better.  Sorry I laughed, just kept imagining you weighed down and lopsided.

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 is overcast & very cold. I am drinking tea/coffee & clearing down programmes from planner. So back to cheerleading 🙂 I am taking so long to write this post that DH & I have had hm soup for lunch, DH is clearing loads of toot from his office & I have had a chat with a couple of neighbours 😆

Great work leelad 👏 Gardening, even indoor gardening is very therapeutic 🌸. 

My problem is that I get so impatient waiting for the 1st shoots to make an appearance 😉

Your daughter must be getting excited about her new bookcase 🙂 
Looking on the bright side re your wife - an up and down week is definitely better than a fully down week 🙂 Hopefully as the current circumstances improve, there will be more up days than down 🤞 Take care leelad & best wishes & hugs 🤗  to you, your wife & your daughter.

Excellent work HappyKitties 👏 especially the quick turnaround on the gift bag 🙂

You are very welcome retiredinfrance 🙂 You should count the clearing of the driveway as at least one but more realistically, bearing in mind the backbreaking nature of the work, perhaps you should count as 5 😉 This time around, I am on the ball - another Gold Star ⭐️ is on the way 👏 as you have passed 50% of your target number 👏 

Well done moneyonmymindsam 👏 it can be difficult persuading plus one/OH/DHs to spoil their mums 😉 so well done on your success. Couple of hugs 🤗 coming your way 🙂

Great work GrannyKate 👏 I have been remiss in awarding Gold Stars - I really must pay more attention 😔 - so one Gold Star ⭐️ for being quarter of the way to your target 👏 
Brilliant work on the electronic decluttering - I am so impressed that I am awarding you a 2nd Gold Star ⭐️ Lovely reminiscences 🌸

You are welcome Nicnak 🙂 Perhaps you should have printed a card explaining the ‘continental armpit’ 😜 Apologies Nicnak but balabooberlies comment had me spluttering 🤣

Thank you balabooberlies 🙂 Sending you hugs 🤗 & flowers 💐 from one non mother to another 🙂 Oh, Bala your vision of Nicnak has really brightened my day 😁

Good work TC77 👏 Are your purchases making you happy 😆 and/or making your life easier? I imagine they are, so no you have not been buying too much 😉

Good work on controlling your emails, oceanspirit 👏 Yippee to the revelation 🥳 it shows how much work you have put into decluttering 👏👏 Perhaps you can sketch it out - your plan/vision for what it will look like 😉

Lovely to see you Gers 👋 I do read along on the Daily Thread & cannot help but admire your dedication to & love for your dear mum 🙂  I know you are dreading sorting out the pantry but a proper pantry 🙂 all that social history & the reminiscing about the contents 😉 but don’t forget to wear gloves & a mask 😉😉 only joking of course 🙃

Great work bit_by_bit 👏 What a marvellous achievement 🥳 Well done for sticking at sorting paperwork - if I do it for more than an hour I lose the will to live 😔 One medal 🏅 on its way 🙂

That's ok Mrs SD. It had me laughing too as I had one smooth and one not. I felt like asking people would they prefer an English or continental armpit every time I had an appointment. Felt like I was offering a breakfast at a hotel. x

I've got 4 parcels to go tomorrow but yay others went out today. Not sure if I will meet my 550 target but 2 weeks to go yet. 
No news on jobs so hopefully will hear either way by end of next week. 

Also my 2 daily bits of clutter out : A sign (not one from the heavens, just a wood one)
Wellies 😕 under duress 😁

2 pairs teenage jeans to go to charity /clothes bank as no takers (not out yet will do tomorrow whilst at post office) 

Usual kitchen rubbish out and everything is clean and clear so we are all in bed waiting for antiques roadshow 😘

Need to build in mopping floors in cleaning schedule.
Washing all up together so today's a good day.

 Love the continental armpit Nik nak.

 I have sinned. 12 ailing orchid plants in. I have given them CPR,a trim and a drink and mist. They are looking better already. I will give them away when they are better.

 Also in, a big tub of lilly bulbs. Given to me by a neighbour. will pass them on later in the season too. So to accommodate bulbs.7 large terracotta pots in. Bargains from the seconds factory shop £2 each .Used Birthday money. I have also ordered a tree online with Birthday money.
 Spent a couple of hours in the front garden before it rained. Another hour and that will be me done until later in the year. 
 I gave myself a haircut. I couldn't stand it any longer. I didn't look in a mirror, just cut it. It's surprisingly ok.
 Everyone is doing so well. I must try harder to find objects to go. A chuffin cat for a start if he wakes me up at 4:30 again tomorrow.

Oh that was brave @vulpix it does get like that, I'm having to stop myself everytime I wrap a parcel and find myself with scissors in hand. I'd end up with a purdey haircut  ✂️😂

Lovely to have DS there @EnergyShifter hope you feel better soon.
