Finally up to date. Plan is to update each time i log in. I know a lot of my things are tiny but i can see my small flat is looking tidier. When space is restricted it looks messy quickly doesnt it.
Thank you all for your decluttering stories it really does help.

Thanks @vulpix. Its a relief. I slept very well last night.
Good for you @dumpling. Now you know why I am so named. I love the little wins as well as the big ones.
@mrssd: Thank you so much for the medal. I love the northeast too. I haven't been up there properly for a few years, I think I may take a trip when the van is fixed up.
Today I am off to the plots to measure. I have seedlings to get in but will need to wait until I have permission to go ahead with the merger. As it is raining I will be taking a few more units out of the van and doing housework!!!!! I ususally do the CS on a Saturday but have been moved to tomorrow pm.

Oh MrsSD sorry you're in the Clumsy Clara club 🩹hope you get better asap, love and gentle hugs from the CEO 🤨Sorry I seem to have missed quite a few posts pages, I have been reading along, but my memory is like a sieve these days. My apologies to anyone having a difficult time for whatever reason, sending you virtual hugs and kisses.Update on DD's holiday accident...... she was given a letter from the A&E at Bangor hospital to take to our new local one ( south Wales) Luckily she only waited 1hr to hand in her letter via triage in A&E 🙄 as the wait to be seen by a Dr was around 12hrs 😱 Anyway she was sent to the fracture clinic at another hospital the next day and she now only has one boot and the crutches. She has to wait for a physio appointment for her ligament problem so goodness knows when that will be.Today I've had my long awaited check up at the dentist cancelled (made the appointment 3 months ago) so I now have to re-book 😠Anyway I have finally decluttered all the bits of fruit from the freezer and fruit bowl and made 2 mixed fruit tarts/pies. One has already disappeared 🤤 I also made a couple of pots of jam with the LO juice. No waste here 👏🏽Gas and leccy bills paid and up to date. Started to declutter the TV planner, but lost the will to live after a while. I will have to break it down and remove in small chunks.Sadly not much to report on the decluttering front, but into the cs bag 2 brand new DVD's still wrapped in cellophane and 3 PS games. Into the recycling a hand wash soap bottle, a bleach bottle and a DW tablets box. Old mobile phone and charger disposed of and I have managed to declutter 2 large plastic crates full of weeds, now in the green waste. I moved a large Buddleia to a more suitable place and added a lavender plant and a helianthemum into my new border last week. DH, under my supervision 😉 has removed some rotten wood ( binned) from an old wooden archway....it's only been lying on the outhouse roof for about 4years 😲 Then when it's all been sanded and painted it will be re-instated in the garden, hopefully it will support a new honeysuckle on one side and a climbing rose on the other, fingers crossed it will still be tall enough. I'm sure DH will cobble something together 😁 Sadly however, everything we do seems to take an age to complete these days.Take care all, hugs to all of you 🧡nan
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently11 -
@Vulpix I just returned from 3 days at Hartlepool with small people. We stayed on the marina - I've been there before and would recommend. Friday we were at Headland North of the town and had small beach, lifeguards, sunshine, free parking and paddling pool all to ourselves for the first hour or so. Large sandy beach at Seaton Carew in the afternoon - nowhere was crowded. Met up with DGCs parents at seaside half way home so left children with them and came home an hour ago. Car emptied, washing on, things put away. Need to go shopping in a bit as visitors coming tomorrow. Car in drastic need of a clean.2025 Decluttering Campaign 607/2025 🏅🏅🏅🏅(🏅🏅) 🌟🌟

Sorry about your fall, Mrs SD - here's to a speedy recovery.
Hello and welcome threepenny_bit. You've done the most difficult bit now - getting started.
My best laid plans didn't happen so the shed is still to finish. I have however been through some more paperwork and 16 bits gone.Decluttering Awards: 🏅🏅11 -
@nannywindow, jam from the fruit juice, love it, never thought to do that, will have to give it a go next time I am using up some fruit
Good news on the DD foot but boo to the dentist
@Mrs SD, healing thoughts winging their way to you
Today I had my b12 jab, delivered a birthday card for my nephew and went to the football. It was wonderful to be back, I am a season ticket holder and have really missed it. Absolutely knackered when I got home but I was such a happy bunny
Take care everyone10 -
