Nice work Nicnak.
Out yesterday. attatchment for a vacc we don't have anymore and unopened homemade jam lids,covers and labels so 2020 target of 365 done,just.
I will try 365 again for 2021 but It will be more difficult as all the big stuff like furniture has gone.I like the idea that someone further back in the thread said of including tasks.Things that take a lot of effort.
Happy New Year everyone

And it’s Hogmanay at last! Good riddance to 2020, that was a tough one. Hugs to all who had a hard time, and particularly those who had especial sadnesses.
Cautiously optimistic that 2021 will be a little easier, best wishes to all and take good care of yourselves.15 -
It's good to see that some take their decs down before the New Year, I do get some funny looks when I say I do that - I've finally found my people
Happy New Year everyone, I sincerely hope it's better for all than this one.

It's just me (all of the time) and my DD (half the time) and she's not bothered, so it's all good in that respect.

Although it’s just Hogmanay, as it’s payday I’m going to start my challenges today. Except the weight loss which will be the 2nd as we want to have a cheeseboard and a couple of drinks tonight 😅 so decided my target is 21 items a fortnight.
So today I decluttered the kids’ bath toys as some are hard to clean and have gone all mouldy 😷 I’m going to count all the small bath toys as 1 but I also decluttered a big playmobil boat that they’ve been using as a bath toy and again is impossible to clean (luckily I got it second hand a year ago so no biggie but I won’t be letting them put other big stuff in the bath!) so I’ll count that as a separate item. I have not broken the news to my 5 year old yet 😬
