Sorted out my project 333 clothes. Actually only 30 but I don’t count jewellery.

Vulpix it's project 333, you only have 33 clothes in use at one time, if you g@@gle it gives you the details.
Really have to say though I'm very jealous of your cat house! 😻 Mine is a slum compared to that!! Mine consists of a large plastic storage box covered inside and out with insulating foil, then a large  bin bag with a slit in it , as the opening!! 
I better keep quiet about your cat house or my 😼 might get a back pack and set off for yours!!
Well done hubby sorting the loft , that is fab.

I think everyone is doing a fab job. Happy Easter all

 Wort,I bet I don't have 33 items of clothes on the go at the moment ! I wear the same old stuff and have done for the past year really. Occasionally I get something fresh out and find it's too big. Nice problem to have. When we can do car boot sales again I will discover all the stuff I packed away when it was too small. 
 The cat house was only scrap wood you know and a lot of trial and error. I knew what I wanted it to look like but I had no plans to work from ,only what was in my head!
 I have followed my idiot guide to adding stuff to my signature but I can only find a few emojis to choose from. I put one on and saved but it isn't there. I am obviously jinxing the whole thing.
 Mr V is going into work today. I will cadge a lift n climb a local mountain whilst the weather is so glorious and before it is mobbed by hoards of tourists. This time last year I wouldn't have been able to even think of such a thing. So glad I have dropped some flab. It is getting harder now so the only thing for it is more exercise
 Enjoy the glorious weather. Vx.

@vulpix I'm also wearing the same things over and over again but that's because most of my clothes are too small with all the weight I've piled on over the last year.  Well done you for losing some, hope you enjoy your mountain walking today.  Oh and if you want to add more emoji's you can press the windows key plus the full stop key at the same time and you should get a whole bunch more 🙃🌞🌄

Thankyou for my medal MrsSD.  I think the idea of swedish death cleaning is a great idea.. I have been working on that principal for the last few years but didn't know it had a name. 
After reading about everyone's lost plans I would add that my attitude about firm and fixed futures. I realised very young that plans very rarely work out. Apart from a couple; the one where  I  left my first husband, that was a miltary plan that springs to mind. I just assume that I CAN plan, think about and consider but most things will change as that plan goes into action. e.g. I didn't plan for a C section when I had my DD but I wasn't phased when it had to happen. I got cancer isneead of my year out travelling, but just called it a different sort of journey. One of my friends said I managed teh unmanageable.
I have taken the stress out of my life for the best part by just accepting the inevitable, and then enjoying the moment whatever that brings. This was esp the case with cancer as I made full use of friends and family offers of help and days out. In fact I resented going back to work I was having such a good time 
Having said that, If i don't plan at all I feel like I have no control in life; so I write one anyway and then put it away and smile later when I find it and it has all gone wrong
Part of my retirement 'plan' is to look after my health better. I went to the opticians for the first time in 4 years yesterday and got the dentist tomorrow. That has been only a year. I need to build up stamina and physical strength so start traing for the virtual  Moonwalk in May today and will be hoying stuff around the allotment.
On a completely different not: the washing machine stopped working last night. We emptied the water and checked the filter, clean, but when we disconnected the pipes for drainage under the sink, Yuk. Two sold blobs of horribleness was blocking it. I don't know how the machine worked with it like that. Anyway. I have learnt something and the machine is back to full working order. Very MSE and free.

Choose 33 items of clothes to wear for 3 months 

if things wear out or no longer fit then you can swap out items... just not increase.

At the end of the 3 months there’s usually one or two items that I haven’t even worn because I don’t like them as much... so it’s good for working out what you really need and what you really like wearing

like I say though, i adapt it and don’t include scarves hats and gloves in winter or jewellery.

I did Project 333 too for a while Newlywed.

I have quite a big bag for the chazzer now. I've been doing some Spring cleaning too. I need to clean everything and then stick to a weekly routine.

Had a lovely afternoon off work - weather was amazing ! I'm off for the next couple of days too - I chose the right week weather wise 
260. Day 8 - morning routine
261. Gift and card to friend for anniversary
262. lampshade

Had another lovely day off … Made the most of the gorgeous weather by being out walking.  Had one small piece of work to do (some planning) & only just managed to knuckle down to do it.   I've got to try to motivate myself to do a bit of tidying now - my bedroom in particular is in a state of upheaval because I had to scrabble around finding suitable clothes for the improved weather.  (a nice problem to have so not complaining)  
263. Easter Card to cousin
264. Morning routine (I felt lazy today but still did it)
265. Spare keys to cousin for safe keeping
266. Made a GP appointment
267. Made a dental appointment
268. collected test contact lenses from optician (new prescription needed) 

Thank you for my medal Mrs SD
