Thankyou TC77 and Viking_mfw. I hope you enjoyed your cuppa elsien. 

So for the third time in 7 days I have a car stuffed full. This time I have bought DD home form uni. The car is emptied and most things are in their place. Just got some washing and packing of bedding and kitchen stuff. It will go in the loft until she leaves home again.
It may be some time as she is still doing her Masters which finishes in August. Soooo glad to have her back tho'.

@elsien, a few things, but put some things back at the till. Have a rug which hopefully will be ok as will be hassle to take back

Sunday was an overcast, dark day but didn’t rain properly until about 7.00 p.m. DH watched the MotoGP races. We then spent a bit of time in the garden - the seedlings from the kitchen window sill have been planted out, various vegetable plants were moved to new locations, started pinching out tomato suckers, grow bag compost distributed to top up potato pots, water bowls cleaned & refilled. I also made soup. Dinner was sm lasagne & garlic bread & a trifle for afters - compliments of DSis. Wudupa.

1248 - 1249 Kitchen detritus, emptied plastic grow bag - binned

You are welcome TC77 🙂 You are making the most of your increased motivation - well done, great work 👏 Stationery sorted, fridge cleaned & even more stuff Decluttered 👏

By the way, new storage boxes as replacement storage is perfectly acceptable 😉 Fingers crossed that the rug is more than ok 🤞🙂

One of the benefits of being retired is that you have time to help others bit_by_bit 🙂 

Pretty stationery - not sure I could have resisted the temptation 😉😉 so well done you 👏 Stunning dress bit_by_bit - you are very talented 🙂 & a genius idea 👏 Hopefully the upholsterer will be able to make the loose cover & the cost will be acceptable 🤞 How lovely to have DD home & enough decluttering done that there is space for DD’s stuff 👏👏

Ooh elsien - a treasure trove 😉😉 - I have always wanted to move into a house with a full attic & a full shed that I can go through as it would be more interesting than my own decluttering 😔😉

Lovely to see you Viking_mfw 👋 Getting used to a new baby is a true reason to ease off on the decluttering - as opposed to me just being lazy 😉 Very well done on passing on the cot etc 🏅

Yah, boo sucks, short_bird ☹️ Hopefully you can rescue your favourite shirt 🤞Everything is crossed 🤞 that all the work you are doing will result in a moth free home. I love the Ripley quote 🥰 Of the 4 films in the franchise - Aliens is my favourite - Michael Biehn is very cute 😊 

Good work EnergyShifter 👏

Thanks for the hugs Gem-gem 🙂 Still no appointment though ☹️ Excellent work on the decluttering & saving postage costs as well 👏

New day/new week. 

I have spent the day organising my paperless office. I have deleted so much stuff off my phone it actually feels like it weighs less 😂😂

i’ve updated my contacts, cleared out all of my inbox boxes and odd files and double checked my Banking apps. 

I need to put all my store cards into an Apple wallet and turn on some notifications so I know when there are offers nearby – not that I’m planning on spending any money. I’m going to have the most frugal 10 weeks ever to pay for this holiday 😃

I’ve made my bed, washed and cleaned my teeth, dressed, eaten and taken my tablets today. I’ve done something productive so now I can do something rewarding,  and I must do something separate for my mental health. Maybe a Bath and some time in the garden.

Not much decluttering been happening here over the past few days but did have a quick burst this evening.  So, 4 items to report.  The COD is now empty and the contents mainly into the other COD.  Still need to find homes for the last few items - no ideas yet but something will show up.

Hello,

House is in need of a serious declutter and the amount of stuff means that it looks a mess. I am hoping you can help keep me on the straight and narrow. First plan is to find some things to put on freecycle. I think I may be more motivated if I think that someone else will use them.

933: 1 annoying job off the list!
934-944: another 150 emails out along with another 5GB of data deleted.
956-967: 12 fling boogie (including a cushion inner and a couple of pillows - it was time for a cull...)
968-970: bag of rubbish,  a bin of mixed materials recycling and a bin of card and paper recycling out.

The pheromone traps are on their way: I've seen only one moth this evening but, as you know, that means nowt. I've done an extra batch of washing and hoovered round: the folks at English Heritage suggest shaking clothes every month by the way, which I will start doing once everything's washed. (That's a point: must check work uniform.)

TC77

@skogar agree about helping knowing someone else can use the item
1170 bowl broken - hardly ever see them in CS reckon along with mugs must be most often broken crockery. Will look out for replacement. 
1171 broken cable
1172 pen binned
1173 cs bag  delivered to shop
1174 ikea gift cards - 2 had no money on them - hate all the cards around.
1175 emails deleted
1176 difficult email sent.

Take care everyone

Monday rained all morning through to about 2.00 p.m. ☹️ DH filled the bird & squirrel feeders + fed the worms - more drowned worms 😭 so now both the wormeries are tilted forward so the water will drain 🤞I treated myself to a two hour bath 😉 Finished reading book 2 of the Dark Tower series. These are my upstairs books & The Shipyard Girls series are my downstairs books 🙂😉 Had a lovely chat with neighbours G & A & a new American neighbour J. G & A are confirming planning permission for converting the garage, adding a one storey extension & converting part of the attic to a bedroom with en-suite. Then the task of finding a reliable builder 😱 G & I agreed that I will give him a large terracotta pot with the 4 tomato plants I am donating 🙂 I won’t count until it is handed over 🙂
Needed to use up lots of eggs - so omelettes for dinner. Cooked some mushrooms, a red sweet pepper & tomatoes & used up the last of the grated cheese. Served with hg lettuce. Delicious 😋 🤤 

1250 - 1253 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans, cardboard packaging, Uu bath foam bottle - recycled 

1254 Kitchen detritus - binned 

A busy & productive day 3secondmemory 👏 Hope you managed to have your bath 🤞

Good work oceanspirit 👏 Every item out is a win 🙂

Hi there skogar 👋 welcome aboard 🙂 You have come to the right place for encouragement on your journey to a decluttered home 🙂 Good luck with the Freegling 🤞

Excellent work short_bird 👏 Touch wood no moths here but thanks for the tip about shaking clothes monthly 👏

Great work TC77 👏 The problem with having lots of different cards is all the personal information that is out there re spending habits 😖
