2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

boultdj

Early days boultdj ☹️ you will have to start cuddling OH 🙂

That's a scary thought! 

Only got rid of some e-mails, but it's a start, I just want to sleep when it's dull and raining.

To do next: sort that carrier of clothes on door and the other carrier of daughters stuff also on my door, and the plastic tub sitting on drawers. 

Done that, in a fashion . My bedroom  is a tick, a done. 
Next on list... bathroom, 2  tower computers to destroy and get rid of.

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 😉

Saturday was a mixed bag weatherwise - dry in the morning so would have been perfect for builder J to finish off but unfortunately his van broke down on the way home Friday 😱 so he is coming back on Sunday 🙂 DH spent the day on & off in the garden - managed to finish the bulk of the gravel laying on top of weed suppressant + an edging of bricks to stop the gravel migrating to the grass. He also cooked cheesy pasta for dinner 😋 
DSis spent most of the day in her room - not feeling 100% - I think the whole situation has got her down - she is feeling bleugh ☹️ 

I spent the day writing birthday cards - I have written all the cards I had through to early January 🥳🙂 I am missing 8 special birthday cards, which I will buy & write next week. 

Recorded Eurovision but did watch before I went to bed - my favourite finished 4th. Not too sure about the winner 😉 I wudupa.

Sunday is currently dry & windy. Builder J is here & finishing the last bit of bricklaying. DH has been busy again - he has finished gravelling the designated area & has about 70kg of gravel left. DH has also jet washed some of the car park. We are off to get my 2nd jab in about 30 minutes 🙂

1037 - 1044 Kitchen recycling, glass jar & metal lid, 6 plastic takeaway boxes & lids - recycled 

1045 - 1046 Kitchen detritus, garden detritus - binned

GrannyKate, I agree that having 2 toilets is a boon as long as both don’t stop working at the same time 😉 Your patience with BG is a thing of wonder 👏 Well done on continuing to declutter 👏

You are welcome oceanspirit 🙂 Well done on decluttering paperwork 👏

I should really take my own advice TC77 🙄 “I WILL enjoy decluttering or perhaps that should be ‘I will enjoy the RESULTS of decluttering’” That sounds a bit better 😉 Great decluttering 👏 & good luck with regaining your waist 🤞

Nice to see you gilly1964 👋 I see your retirement has been busy 😉 Excellent decluttering & marvellous sales, brilliant work in the garden & generous donations👏. Your mini break sounds wonderful & well deserved 🙂

Great work bit_by_bit 👏 Belated birthday wishes to DD 🙂

Now, now boultdj 😉 I am sure OH is a great cuddler 😉 Every bit out counts, so well done on the emails 👏

Great work Fiona236 👏 Sounds like you will have great fun smashing up computer towers 😉 I am envisaging you with a lump hammer wearing protective clothing & eyewear 🙂😉

Vulpix, you are more than welcome 🙂 I like reading about everyone’s victories - large or small - in our battle against clutter 😉 

You have still managed a decent amount of decluttering, villagelife 👏 It must be really invigorating to be able to meet up with family & friends 🙂 especially after so long. I must say that reconnecting with loved ones is far more important than decluttering 🥳

Well done Gem-gem 👏 I do like the ratio of recycling to binned 🙂

Need to get ready to set off for 2nd jab - so will see you later 👋

No real decluttering since the all the furniture went on Sat. No sofa means I have been left with no choice but to move back into my bedroom. I haven’t slept there since I fell ‘iller’ Nov 2019. How time flies when you have little or no autobiographical memory! 😂😂😂
The new sofa will come with a steadfast rule that I cannot fall asleep on it! 

I did manage to shift 36 sachets of cat food. My 2 little heathens just lick the jelly off and it irks me daily! Problem solved - they are back on dried food - less waste, less bowls to clean 😃

i’m not planning to do much today. I find the second day after any type of vigourous activity is worse than the first, IYSWIM. 

Totally distracted watching a news report about canine Covid sniffers! How cool is that? 

On that positive note, I hope you all have a good day/week. 😃
