Evening MrsSD and fellow declutterers, well it's been a tough 36 hours here. My wife has been tested positive for Covid, no symptoms yet, she works as an agency nurse, so she has to test weekly. So am having to self isolate until (all being well) 2nd Feb when I can then go back to work. Me & my daughter got tested yesterday and thankfully we are both negative. So tough day today decluttering for part of the day and trying to keep active while waiting for the test results to come through. The cupboard underneath the sink has been decluttered, thrown out Milton cleaning wipes (dried out) and a bottle of window cleaner (after I had used the last of it cleaning the windows in the house) hopefully the self isolation will encourage me to declutter the attic and our daughters bedroom, it's mind over matter is this, so I & we need to stay focused. Our daughters home schooling will help and hopefully a cleaner & tidier house before we both go back to work. Let's see, cheers 🙂

Leelad - sorry to hear about your wife... hope she recovers quickly and you and your daughter stay safe. 
So much decluttering going on.  - items back to shops that I don't want 161 - 165
166 balsamic vinegar use by 18th tasted ok in recipe today but thought once open should be binned
167 - 168 shampoo and conditioner sachets used up
169 ood food out
Just cleaned floors, and tidied up. Hoping (or DD2 is) that we get a second cat (rescue about 3/4yrs old) so I've decided have to be tidier /more organised so will have clear out tomorrow hopefully. 
Ideas please  - Made more soup today - made double quantities as DD seems to like soups I've been making and they last no time. Double quantities and she doesn't like it! quite bland carrot and sweet potato soup - any ideas what I can add and whizz up again? 
Will try and catch up on more of the posts as like to read what's going on. Take care x

Week 4 18-24/1 Emails inbox started at 15000 at the beginning of the year.  I have set myself a target of getting this down at least 1000 a week (I get 100s a day).  So week 4 target under 12000 currently 10142

3 very brown bananas decluttered into a banana bread and eaten.  Husband brought some bags down from the loft and I found a bag of age 4-5 knickers and pants.  They have been up there 10 years!  School have taken them for reception if there are accidents.  We have been asked if we have any reaction toys for a group, so currently have a bag of 6 items but will keep looking and count these next week when they go out the house.

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. CLEAN ONE ROOM (TOP TO BOTTOM) EVERY MONTH (hopefully 3 weekly by the end of the year)

Saturday’s dinner was gammon, egg, chips & baked beans for DH & DSis. I had lo cheesy pasta with grated mozzarella & a sliced tomato (heated up in the oven at the same time as the oven chips) Wudupa. 

219 - 220 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans - recycled 
221 Kitchen detritus - binned

Good work charlies_tribe 👏 I don’t envy you having to detangle the girls hair- I find it hard enough to do my own 😱 However have truly wonderful 🙂 but exceedingly expensive ☹️products which make it a breeze. 

Excellent work EnergyShifter 👏 especially like no.130 😅

So sorry to hear about your wife, leelad ☹️ 🤞it is a mild case & that your wife takes all the time she needs to get fully fit. Hopefully you & your daughter can stay negative. I admire your outlook - medal 🏅 on its way & I wish you success in your planned decluttering. 

Great work TC77 👏 re the soup how about some chillies 🌶 or maybe some Worcestershire sauce?

Excellent work jacwins 👏 Could you unsubscribe from some of the emails? might make it easier to declutter 😉

@TC77 try adding a bit of curry powder or garam masala to your soup. I find that helps to lift a bland flavour

Morning MrsSD, thank you for my 🏅 a nice touch, was tired last night. Ready for the day ahead. 
@TC77 thank you for your kind words. On soup ideas, cream of tomato soup is a good one to make. Or chicken soup with the leftover carcass.

Morning all not been around because not done much week 3 of homeschooling completed on a positive little miss actually did a full 2 hours on Friday no moaning! Bit fed up with school no practical cooking lessons since September until they remove learning then lots of expensive recipes to do (not great when she is eating me out of house and home and doesn't like the stuff she has to cook) anyway rant over sorry. 
This week will try and get back to decluttering just need to find my major 1st lol. Hope everyone has a good week 
Edited to add boxes recycled and washing in

Only thing decluttered has been a covid test which was thankfully negative,

Much love to LeeLad and family

Pamsdish.... your Parrot!! There is an online event "Avian Behaviour and Training" with Debbie Foster.
Its on Sat 20th at 6pm. It popped up on fbk as my daughter is interested as shes a vet nurse.  I took a screenshot but dont know how to put it on here. The event is by phoenixlanding.org. and its free!!
Thought it may interest you!?

Thanks@garden_girl_2, made a note on my calendar, hopefully she may have gone home, but worrying already owner will not maintain improvements I have made, clean cage, fresh seed, suitable for her size, fresh water and chopped fruit and veggies every day, toys and perches, got some sanded ones coming today, hopefully will reduce the length of her, talons, claws nails, whatever the correct term.
Regarding declutter I seem to have stalled, taking the day apart from basic tidying and renewed effort tomorrow.
