2021 MISSION DECLUTTER and CLEAN
Comments

I've used the time when our CEO gives a staff briefing on Teams to sort out my landing CoD... luckily the CEO can't see the staff 😁
I managed to reorganise everything, got some stuff sorted for Ebay (some already sold!) Fb or chazzer, tidied out my cleaning stuff, washed all the microfiber cloths & dusters (and realised my ex-husband had been left with only one...he had a cleaner so I don't feel at all guilty about having custody of the other 19 🤣).
I've also reorganised Christmas into plastic boxes for the attic (need to do that at the weekend), and stashed vac-packs of summer clothes in the top of the CoD along with my walking stuff & boots, swimming cozzies & decorating clothes. The bedroom got some attention too, with my scarves being sorted & tidied into a repurposed storage thing in my wardrobe.
Four unused cushion inners have been Fb'd for crafting, four feather inners are being kept for my sofa's new cushion covers when the decorating is done, and I think I've convinced my cat to stop destroying the top-stair carpet 🙄
Am about to declutter the tail end of a bottle of wine along with some leftovers from the fridge while decluttering stuff from my HDD recorder 🙂2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Oooo. Gold..Thanks for the Gold Star ⭐️ Mrsd SD. I am just happy to be of help. Hoarding tendencies and clutter can be very isolating esp as, in my case, I never wanted people round becasue of the mess and if they were coming it was a BIG deal.vulpix said:Oh Elsein what a pain.
Bit by bit it sounds like you have had a light bulb moment. I can identify with some of your points too. I had my light bulb moment about 8 years ago.

Going to try and be a bit more focussed this weekend. I’m finding this latest lockdown a bit tough and am tempted to hide under the covers once I finish work on Saturday!
Hope everyone else coping with everything that’s going on and still decluttering happily!x
