2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

moneyonmymindsam

@Marpau thank you

@Frogletina wow, what a list, I loved the randomness of it (it really did cheer me up :-)) you have done so well. 

I am sure the belts will be put to good use by a young lad somewhere. I think it's nice to know that your son and your husbands bits and bobs go on to help or be enjoyed by someone else and also raise money for charity.

It's so hard to do and I often think of a positive outcome to help to let those bits go. 


I did clear the airer (both of them) so that was enough for today. 

Found out today that I will be partially paid on Friday so will be able to have a bit of a sort out and financial shuffle. 

An old friend wants to meet up on the weekend for walk /coffee (if one of us has a flask 🤔) so hopefully we can catch up.

After losing my best friend and then my mum, I have ended up feeling like I have no RL friends 😂 I know that's sometimes part of getting older but it was a welcome invite. It's been over a year since we last met up. 

I've said we should still wear masks and keep a bit distanced as we walk the fields and she didn't disagree so that's good. 

Sorry don't have much decluttering news. 

@Mrs_Salad_Dodger the coin jar is a huge (whisky?) bottle and has all denominations of coins but no £2 and £1 that the eye can see 😉. I think the empty bottle got decluttered plus ones way a couple of years ago! 

Got news that I missed my covid jab (?) but never had the text invite to say book it.

So that's booked. Bit scared but I am just being stupid and will suck it up 😅😊😂

I’ve been absent for a while but realise that it’s much longer than I thought, I’ve had to catch up from January ! 

I’ve been poorly and have been signed off work since February but I’m hopefully going back next week. The littles finally went back to school last week, having last been in the first week of December, so after a very long slog of home schooling, I’m trying to get back on top of things again.
I’ve taken 4 bags to fabric recycling and have managed to get rid of another 7 bags on our local Facebook freebies group. It’s sounds like quite a bit but that’s everything since February, so I need to get sorting stuff out again.
I hope everyone is well xx

Sending hugs to all those with absent friends/family and those who are having a difficult time. 

Lots of super decluttering going on - it is always very motivating reading the thread. 

Took another 15 empty containers to JL another £30 saved. Getting some great presents. 😀 I have another 10 (2 sets of 5) that I will take in before the 3rd May. 

Unwanted post recycled
removed unwanted sheets from work pad - recycled
paper in paper bin recycled 

electronic clutter - decluttered

Have been listening to podcasts about minimalism - very interesting. Will listen to clearing the wardrobe again when I tackle the wardrobes again!

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. ONCE A WEEK LEAVE THE HOUSE (e.g. Go into city centre for bank & butcher;  go to local town for cs dropping off or buying; visit the pub with DH 😉😉)

Tuesday was sunny but cloudy & slightly cooler. Builder was on his own - I had a great conversation with him & discovered that his labourer is a classically trained tenor - Guildhall School of Music and Drama no less 🙂 DSis did 2 wash loads - one partially dried on whirligig. DH went out on his motorbike for a few hours (Round BritainRally) & came back via MrS - short of milk. Back is definitely improving 🙂 but another day of rest 😉
Dinner was last portion of hm chicken pie with mash & broccoli for DSis. DH & I had hm fish pie (from freezer) with broccoli. Wudupa. Forgot to mention that DH bought new silicon toilet brushes so I have binned the old toilet brushes but retained the heavy ceramic type holders for use as mini vases.

864 - 869 Kitchen recycling, 3 cardboard boxes, plastic takeaway box & lid, drinks cans - recycled 

870 - 874 Kitchen detritus, office detritus, lr detritus, 2 toilet brushes - binned

Great work vulpix 👏 Everything is crossed 🤞 that the bed is collected 🙂 Well done on keeping up with the weight loss 👏

Excellent work newlywed 👏 especially recycling Justin jars 😉

Very pleased I made you laugh balabooberlies 😉 Hope you enjoyed your time away 🙂 & lovely that your hard work before going away meant you returned to a tranquil home 👏 You seem to have come back fully refreshed. Good luck with your quest to become more organised 🙂

Great work GrannyKate 👏 Well done for going out & about 🙂

What a marvellous attitude moneyonmymindsam 🙂👏 Fingers crossed that a cancellation becomes available in the next couple of months 🤞& I am sure you will pass. It might just be an urban myth but better drivers don’t pass first time 🙂 I think most people forget that passing your test just means that you are safe to drive without supervision & can continue to learn. 

Hope the house sale stops wobbling. Very pleased that the new job has calmed down a bit & especially they you will be able to work unsupervised 🥳

Just realised what the time is so I am off to bed & will continue cheerleading tomorrow I.e. later today 😉

 Sam,hats off to you. Glass half full person.Fabulous mindset to have.

 Up an attem stickinsect. back with vigour!

 TC77 where would we be these days without the internet. I do hope your user name is TC as in Top Cat. I loved that programme as a child.

 Very impressive MSE Gem-gem. Excellent offer from JL.

  Bed not collected... had a feeling. Supposed to be coming today,we shall see. It is dismantled though.

  We listed 4 things to sell on FB,3 sold within minutes. One to be posted the other 2 duly collected by delighted people. It pleases me that my cheap furniture buys and some TLC and vision is appreciated by other people. The 4th item is a bit specialised so will take ages to find a new home.

  We will list some more stuff today,and have a very exciting jaunt out to buy cat biscuits.

 It would be nice if your builders mate was enjoying his work so much that he burst into song Mrs SD.

Hello all.

The 2 green waste bins have been emptied and re-filled, the pile of garden debris is very small for now. In the cs bag a stuffed toy which belonged to DD and she's now 37 😲. It was never played with but sat on a shelf so perhaps someone else can get some more joy out of it.

I'm going to declutter some leftover pastry and sausages (both found in the freezer) into sausage twists today and then into my tummy 🤤. Later it will be  "throw it all in " stir fry for tea, I'm determined not to waste any food.

Take care all. Happy decluttering.

I was doing so well and now I've injured my toe. Dropped a heavy thing on it and now it's black and blue. NHS says I can safely treat it at home which is a relief but no long walk today. Gone thru my towel box and removed half of them to take to dog shelter. I'm too old to use scruffy towels. 

Have to do sitting down decluttering today with my foot up, at least I can sit down to do my work these days.
