2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN

nannywindow

Out a broken A3 laminator and 7 pairs of DH's shameful underwear ( he has new ones so he won't have to go commando ! )

To DD a reel of Wasi tape and about a doz very large pieces of card - 3ftx4ft.

To the cs a brand new pair of joggers which belonged to Dad and 6 of my old childhood books, Bunty, Judy, Princess. I have kept some for DGD to have a look at though.

Hope everyone is ok, hugs a plenty if not, just help yourself.

Take care all

Morning all.  22 items to the CS yesterday out of the wardrobe and a massive pile of things to sell.  Have set myself the goal of listing 5 things a day for as long as it takes and we'll see what happens.  There is now space to move things around in the wardrobe and the door actually closes without stuffing things in.  Still have to go through shoes and long sleeved tops / cardigans but think I know already what can go (e.g. most of it!)  That's on the list for next weekend though.  With each little thing that leaves the house, I can feel the mental load getting lighter.

Hugs to those that need them.

Dropping in to report a bag of stuff to the cs and two body boards (1 large item) sold and delivered on the G*mtre.

I went into the garage to ge the bodyboards, it feels soooo good. It is organised, clean and aI walk down the centre with ease.

Evening all.  Sorry about your dog Wednesday, we lost ours last week, a wee rescue we'd had for about 2.5 years.  She was 13.5 and had a good life but my word we miss her.  She came with her 'baby' a German shepherd 3 times her size that previous owners seemed to have got when she was 1 so she treated him as her baby his whole life.  So sweet. We lost him last year.  Such a loss, house very quiet now.

Anyhoo.

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 😉

4. CLEAN & EMPTY SURFACE AREAS - DAILY

Monday has been a bit mixed weather-wise - drizzly, overcast, bright then dark but at least there was no wind 🙂 I have had another exceedingly lazy day 😔 Watched lots more Olympics including cycling & the equestrian event. Had a long, lazy bath - read a few chapters of my upstairs book & unusually didn’t nod off so didn’t get the book wet 🥳 Weighed myself before bathing & am thankfully back in 2 digit kg 👏 DH phoned a couple of times - lots more rain than yesterday & various animals either leaping out at him - a squirrel & a dog or blocking the road - 6 Hereford cows in a country lane munching on the hedges & not keen to move along 😉 Finally started off down the lane & 6.5 minutes later after teasing DH by starting to turn off twice they finally turned off into a field through an open gate 😂 Dinner was posh burgers delivered to front door 😉

1466 - 1469 Kitchen recycling, Empty toilet gel bottle, 2 empty hotel sized bath gel bottles - recycled 
1470 Kitchen detritus - binned

GrannyKate sounds like you had a good time 🙂 Hopefully the GCs didn’t tire you out too much 😉

greent Glad to hear that DS3 won’t moan too much 😉🙂

Great work nannywindow 👏 I remember Bunty & Jackie but never kept any.

Excellent work ruby_eskimo 👏 What a great observation about lightening the mental load each time items leave 🙂👏

Brilliant bit_by_bit 👏 Your hard work decluttering the garage has paid off - you can now enjoy going in & being able to locate exactly what you want 🥳

Gem_gem, good work on the net outflow of books 👏 Hm Victoria sponge 😋 

Great work TC77 👏 Very pleased to see that your new planner/Diary is already proving useful 🙂 Also well done on moving along a few admin frogs 👏

Sorry to hear about your dog, daisy_1571 ☹️ She sounds like a real character & the story of her playing mum to a German shepherd made me grin from ear to ear 😁 Will you be getting another dog or two? Excellent decluttering 👏 I do like the indigestion tablets exp date June 2007 - 14 year old tablets, I am sure they would still have worked 😉😉😉😉

Good work short_bird 👏 Birthday plans how exciting 🙂 You do need a third one though 😉
