435. morning routine - not completely a habit yet but getting there!!!
436. Scrubbed floor of DS' room prior to painting (at some point.....  ) - it was hard & dirty work as there were bits of underlay stuck to the floor that I had to scrape off & staples and nails that I had to prise up! 

Got quite a bit done today.  As well as the things listed below I accidentally ended up doing a long walk - got lost walking back from a shopping centre that  I've walked back from dozens of times.  I must have been daydreaming & missed a turning .  On the plus side I got 50% more steps in than planned and I discovered a really nice Common that I didn't know was there!  Making good headway with the beanie knitting also.
437. Morning routine
438.  replaced drawer pulls on bedside cabinets ! They look lovely now
439.  re-painted drawers of bedside cabinets - I'd taken the "shabby" in the "shabby chic" too far
440 - painted wooden picture frame - it was way too dark for my room - big improvement 

Gers - sending love & wishing you strength at this sad time x 
Happy Kitties - what a lovely thing to do x

Thankyou @vulpix. We are going to get a vast array of pictures and frames out in a few weeks time and hang the ones we love. We have never really done that. We also intend to have a 'rogues gallery' of family members, which we haven't done either. 
Hugs @Gers. There is no rush. I think if you can't do it now, don't. An alternative thing to do would be to keep the ones you like her nest in and her favvourite. You won't feel like you are getting rid of your mum then. You are in a bit of an odd place becasue your Mum is still with you. 
Hugs and best wishes to those going though tough times.

7 points for today, 3 vases added to cs pile, many trips to the recycling bins and another raised bed (a metal one) put together. I am very very tired - was going to go out and start filling the bed but it had rained whilst I was eating.

@Gers thinking of you and sending virtual hugs
@motherner - i love your mission
@floss gosh sounds a journey and a half the down sizing.
I keep waking up at 5.30 but can't get myself to bed early so too much coffee, washing, tidying, cleaning etc today, and managed a swim - love the pool being open again as it helps with my sanity. Feel like I've got rid of lots of things but I think it's more putting away
920 - 922 three pillows to the refugee project, haven't bought anything from charity shops except cards so that's good.
Rescue cat settling in so cleared litter from second tray that was in the bedroom where he started - too big really for any litter tray and v messy 923
924 ood food
Fingers crossed sofa and a couple of other things on free sites go.
925 emails deleted and unsubscribing.
Night, and hope the week ahead is kind to everyone xx

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 😉

Sunday was a warmer day and dry until about 6 p.m. 🙂 DH fed the worms + chopped vegetables which were roasted, bagged & frozen for next hm soup. I cooked some of last year’s rhubarb (from freezer 👏) with some sm cooking apples, ginger & brown sugar & made up two crumbles (crumble mix from freezer 👏) Will cook tomorrow.  Hm soup for my lunch. DH & DSis had hot dogs (cooked in chiminea) in proper rolls 🙂 Dinner was the shop bought chicken & leek pie (surprisingly tasty) with oven chips (both DSis purchases) & frozen peas. DH & DSis both have their 2nd jabs booked 🥳

I have owned my lack of GUAG & decided to write off the whole week & start properly on Monday 10th 😉😉😉😉

943 - 950 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans, 2 newspapers, cardboard box, 3 foil trays - recycled 
951 - 953 Kitchen detritus, 2 used up pens - binned 

Great work villagelife 👏 Pleased to hear that your back pain is down to manageable levels 🙂

What a very generous lady you are HappyKitties 👏😇 Thank you for sharing your stories & I agree with balabooberlies - a warm glow reading about your kindness 🙂

Good work GrannyKate, it will be nice to see the back of MIL’s estate paperwork 👏

Sorry to hear about your DM, Gers 😔 Head v Heart - always a really hard one regardless of your DM being fine with it 😞 Whichever wins please do what is right & comfortable for you. Balabooberlies has said it so much better 🙂

Well done vulpix 👏 How pleasing that the dresser is going to a home where it will continue to be a loved & treasured item 🙂 I fell off the sofa when I read your ‘saving old things including MrV 🤣 The kitty is building nicely 👏

Nannywindow - tool-passer/gofer is a very underrated job 😉 Having picked myself up off the floor I promptly fell off the sofa again at the ‘don’t give DH ideas abot getting rid of old things’ 🤣 Your DH is definitely a keeper 😉 One medal 🏅 coming his way for resurrecting your halogen oven 👏. Thanks for the hugs 🤗

Congrats on getting your 1st jab, leelad 🙂 Sorry it knocked you sideways ☹️ but you still managed a tip run 👏  Glad your daughter is on the mend - DH was the same in preferring the Zimmer frame to crutches - felt safer 🙂 

Well done on the gardening Gem-gem 👏

Wow, Floss, talk about a busy time 🤩 but you came through it with flying colours & hopefully the cat has forgiven you for the cattery 😉😉

Great work moneyonmymindsam 👏 Hopefully the jewellery is treasure 🤞

EnergyShifter, you are determined to see me off 😉 I fell off the sofa a 3rd time reading about your ‘daydreaming’ walk 🤣

What a lovely post bit_by_bit 🙂 

Excellent work mothernerd 👏 You will sleep well tonight 🙂

Great work TC77 👏 Remember having the space to put things away proves you have already decluttered 😉 so it definitely counts as decluttering 🙂👏

MrsSD DH was proud as punch to receive his medal, thanks very much, really cheered him up this morning. I would love a bowl of crumble if there's any going spare 🤤

My husband had his second jab yesterday. I gave him paracetamol when he got in and this morning and he said he feels okay but just has a sore arm.

I went through my wardrobe just now. I have got two jackets, two vest tops as well as a few books set aside to donate this week.

I'm really looking forward to my night out next week! I'm going to be in your neck of the woods Mrs SD.

Morning all, I have read two magazines if only so I can recycle them(!) so that's on the list.
Got the washing machine on a clean and rinse thing so although it is on its last legs I'm hoping it might help. It's all drama with the family so am keeping well out of it. Shuffled some money about and grateful for my savings. Me and the dogs will go to the forest today for our walk. Sausage egg and homemade chips for tea an oldie but a goodie, think I am going to use up one of the zillion tins of beans we have. Aiming to put 5 more things on fleabay this week with 2 done so far. Have decided to send things to auction in the hope that they go and if not nothing lost.
Hopefully we shall not get lost in the forest!
Have a good day and virtual hugs to anyone that needs it, aiming to declutter some toiletries later this afternoon if time allows. 
Other than that think I am caught up for now on the decluttering.

@vulpix just a suggestion re your fluted champagne glasses how about for someone who is having a cost effective kitch style of wedding?
I'm in here this morning waiting for the delivery of my new washing machine after mine died suddenly last week. Under the kitchen sink has been emptied to give the delivery staff access, I was suitably impressed with the tardis of items. I am sure I can be forgiven for having just 2 bottles of bleach. Everything else is singly stacked as a result of completing using what we had and decluttering.(no humans were injured in this extrication of items ) I will double check when re storing the items back under there too. A cord was struck about the clothes I have about and in suit cases, also the loft of our little des res. I really need to get them online as I could do with some self funding funds for the next task at hand. 
Friend popped round with some shirts he has decluttered for us to re use for DH rags in his shed. So they will be next job after here.
Keep going Peeps
