2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

GrannyKate

Well Monday morning was decluttered to attempting to communicate with BG re missing plumber and service.  I started at 8am (in line with times given on their website) and just finished 'live' chat at 11.45.  Added to wasted time Saturday morning that is 4 hours of my life I won't get back.  They assured me I didn't have an appointment booked last Friday grrrr.  
910 - Decluttered Monday morning to time wasting and inefficient BG
911 - Sunday lunch with DS2 - Took oddments for children from fridge along with my contribution to dinner (Gravy and goose fat)
912 - Card posted
913 - Lampshade to return as wrong fixing for my lamp - off to do that now.  Will try not to buy anything new.

Not sure if photo published! Won’t do it again. Thread doesn’t need multiple pics of a cat in a house.

@GrannyKate they tried that with me and I sent them screenshot of the email & text message confirming the booking...

Moved soil in small planters - 3 singles, then 6 on the trolley, then 8. Currently have 8 on the trolley - moved to where they are going but not enough strength left to lift them off the trolley and another 4 filled at the digging site. Decluttered 2 bags of food from the freezer as niece came round with my brother's dog (we save all the fatty scraps, ood stuff and leftovers for the dog). She took baby brother to his doctor's appointment today. They checked his chest, put him on oxygen and phoned for the emergency ambulance. He's in A & E on a nebuliser but should be being moved onto a regular ward tomorrow. Offered to help with dog duties if required - niece is working from home but dog is used to being with my brother all the time.

Popping in to report another bag, this time of wool, to my friend. A nice drive to and from hers in the countryside. Through bucketing rain, hail, thindr and lightening, sunshine and several beautiful rainbows, lucky me.
More bags for the CS tomorrow.

In awe of you all who've downsized, chipping away is making progress but slowly, been putting things away. Andrew Mellen says that clutter is deferred decisions, for me it's taking most things out of the bag and leaving one or two things, doing the washing and not putting everything away in drawers, or getting distracted and moving on to the next task while still in the middle of the last.
Extra effort to put around 30 things away during the day - counting as 3
Bathroom declutter small bits, 2 items to textile recycling, unsubscribing and paper declutter.
Sold 3 video games, and packaged up ready to go, and important email  sent - total of 13 which I'll add later.

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 😉

Well my GUAG didn’t appear so Monday was another wasted day 😔 Sunny day but the wind picked up again 😱 Wall is coming along nicely BUT builder unable to get any cement so DH went out on the bike & eventually managed to buy 2 sacks. DH & I finished the hm soup for lunch. Dinner was lo chicken pie, oven chips & baked beans for DH & DSis
I had a few chips & an egg mayonnaise sandwich. 

954 - 955 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans - recycled 
956 Kitchen detritus - binned

Pleased that your DH likes his medal, nannywindow 🙂 Are you a crumble & custard or a crumble & cream person? 

Hic, hic who me? balabooberlies 😉 🤣 I wish!

Have taken note of the paracetamol trick, Wednesday2000. I will suggest it to my DSis as she did have a reaction to her 1st jab. Have you picked out your outfit for your night out?

Excellent work moneyonmymindsam 👏 Fingers crossed that you don’t get sucked into the family drama 🤞

What a lovely idea 2Scratters 👏 Great decluttering as well 👏 Everything crossed for lots of clutter out & lots of £££s in 🤞

😖 GrannyKate - what a nightmare 😖 I hate it when big companies dodge their responsibilities & try to make their customers think they are mad/senile 😖  Well done on the actual clutter you disposed of 👏 I notice from your signature that you are doing really well with your Christmas Saving & general savings 👏👏

Vulpix, Cat in a House sounds like a great title for a children’s book 🙂

Brilliant idea Floss 👏 sounds like you have learnt from experience 😔

Putting us all to shame again mothernerd 🙂 Well done on all the gardening 👏 Sorry to hear about your brother but hopefully he will get better soon 🤞

Great work bit_by_bit 👏 Quite jealous now as I haven’t seen a rainbow in months ☹️

When I am actually decluttering TC77, I am exactly like you - I think we are butterflies 🦋- flitting about & never staying in the same place for any length of time 😉 Well done on the completed decluttering 👏👏

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 

441. morning routine (should have been 2 of these but didn't do it yesterday - work was super-busy - although in honesty if I hadn't fannied around online I could have fitted it in 
442.  Finished my practice beanie - quite a few dropped stitched where I lost concentration & made a bit of a dog's dinner of the closing it off so I will do another practice before I use my nice wool
443.  Bowel screening test sent - I've been putting it off but heard from a friend of mine who has just had part of his bowel removed and needs to have chemo - so its re-focussed my mind... 
TC77 -  great quote - re: "deferred decisions " - that makes so much sense !
