445.  Returned top 
446.  Second practice beanie completed - I'm going in there with the nice wool!
447. morning routine
448 & 9 - 2 x SEISS claims - mine & DS'

Found the last couple of days hard going - weather rubbish, work super busy & had pain in my back all day yesterday after taking the cat to the vet by public transport!  Thankfully back is recovered and had a quieter day today - had a few meetings with colleagues which as well as being productive gave us all the opportunity to have a bit of a grumble - immediately felt better.  I'm working both mornings over the weekend and I'm visiting a friend tomorrow afternoon who I haven't seen for a year  - so very much doubt I will have much time for decluttering this weekend!  
Have a good weekend everyone... x
450. Bathroom sink taps replaced

Evening, everything crossed for DH @Mrs_Salad_Dodger

finished work, but working tomorrow 😴 but I have managed to declutter today  - 2 pairs joggers and 2 t-shirts.
Unfortunately I have 2 new T-shirts and 2 sweatshirts (basic ones) come in as a purchase. 
Also a note book used up. 
Need to get that bag out to the charity ASAP. 
Might try and get those fleabay sales back up this weekend. 
So managed to get a payslip off work and see that I am on emergency tax (great) so hopefully that will be sorted by the pay run again this month.

Hope DH is ok @Mrs_salad_dodger.   Maybe this might have not been picked up before it became more serious a longway down the line. Fingers crosed. and hugs to you both XXXXX
I won't forget to count the stationary bag once it is gone.
I  hope you had a good trip to Oxford @Vulpix. I just looked up what a Pembrokshire table is and now I am jealous.

Hello,
A bit more weight has Gone so some skirts now show my midriff - unwanted at my age thanks.  So they are in the bottom of the wardrobe now for a “get them taken in” or give away pile.

ordered some large white storage boxes, two for in the top shelf of the wardrobe and three for the bottom, so all the things I’m keeping in there will look streamlined and tidy (till you open the lids anyway ). Also ordered some more skirt hangers that I like and hoping to ditch all ex shop ones, though may have to reduce the number of skirts a bit more for this to happen.

Listened to a decluttering video and they said to ask “what is stopping me wearing this item now?” And “if I have lots of go to items that I wear a lot, will I ever realistically get to my option B items?” 

Well that made me realise two tops and two skirts are option B and I would only choose them if I had no others clean, so they are in the charity bag now.

have some time off work soon, so plan to declutter and organise my wardrobe and clothes drawers. It’s not too bad, but having done project 333 I prefer not to have tons of clothing options each morning. Too many decisions to make just to get dressed!

gosh so much of what everyone says resonates. I keep things for best only to find they no longer fit or I'm sure my chanel perfume is past its best. May have to get it out in the  morning for my trip to the market. Been working and then put to meet friends so some stress decluttered this evening. Will add a few things when hopefully  I do chores and decluttering tomorrow.  Can't get rid of italics. Oh yes vulpix lots of beautiful notebooks and too good glasses. As my kids say have you more things we can't use !  Going to change this. And again nice things i won't use or wear give or donate.

Did over an hour in the garden (probably nearer 2) and have started on next phase. Finally calculated and added all this weeks bits and am on 1099/2021.

I feel I'm limping very slowly towards the half way mark of 1011/2021 by end of June but hopefully there are quite a few things to go when my DD is here in 3 weeks time.  MIL had a massive collection of unused postcards bought on her travels over the years so working my way steadily though these for my competition entries.  Started doing comps again after a long break.  I did have some nice wins at times including a week in Rome but its been a long while.  MIL also had a box of pens (Hundreds in there) which I need to find a home for.
921-922 Almost empty pot of mixed herbs thrown away and replacement bought.  I then discovered I already had a new pot so will give 2nd one to DS2 who cooks a lot.
3 small people today and tonight so not much will be done.

I couldn’t believe the organised carnage my upstairs has become. When my son sorted through his bedroom, which has all been packed up because I moved all his stuff here when he started university, with disdain. He wanted to know why I’d kept hold of so much junk 🤦‍♀️😂😂 
obviously his tastes have changed considerably now that he is earning a good wage and has just moved into a very nice house with his partner 😂😂

it’s all good stuff so I have many, many trips to various recycling points and charity shops in the next 2 weeks- that’s when my daughter is coming up to see me 😃

today is a rest day, and a day for planning. My day is fried, I can’t even do the maths to work out how many items I have to get rid of every day if I want to start the 2021 challenge. There are 231 days left in the year. I get 0.11 but that’s wrong. Can anyone help?

If you are starting from scratch today that would be 8.74 items a day - so say 9 a day. I was in maths mode having just finished my online banking!

How is DH Mrs SD?

I was trying to organise the box with chargers, the leads for the torches etc... yesterday and I had to search around the house for plastic boxes. Why do I have so many little boxes with nothing in them?! It took me about an hour and a half to find the correct sizes for everything. I threw away all the lids. Why do I have about 20 lots of post it notes?

The more I'm looking through my house the more I'm realising we have. I was quite a minimalist the last time we were thinking about moving house in 2015. I am taking at least another bag of stuff to the chazzer next week.
