1. Write a daily To Do list - only 5 tasks
2. Deal with Old Frogs & potential frogs ASAP but at least one on FROG Fridays.
3. Reduce/Restrict time watching TV and playing AB2 during daylight hours 😉
4. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed

Saturday has been another day of watching the Olympics & clearing down programmes from the TV planner 😉 Finished cooking the brisket which we had with mashed potatoes & mixed country vegetables (from the freezer) I now have 1.75 empty drawers 🙂 The brisket was delicious & I have a small amount left together with some vegetables & mash & gravy so will make a small pie. 

226 - 227 Kitchen recycling & detritus 

Sorry to hear that you have been unwell JustMum89 ☹️ I have backtracked and you last posted on page 90 with 236. Hope that helps 🙂 Your number will soar now that you have sorted out your stationery 😉👏

The thread does move fast Fizz2015 😉 Excellent decluttering 👏 and how lovely of your mum to clean the carpets 🙂 Is the carpet cleaner hers or yours? & can I hire her 😉😉

Excellent work Blackberrycurved 👏 I can definitely work out the before & after 🙂 Love the wooden floor & the piano ☺️

Great news about the car weenancyinAmerica 🙂 It seems your decluttering & tidying is having a positive effect on at least some of your roommates 👏 Great work on decluttering emails 👏 Hope you enjoy the Super Bowl game & the snacks 😉

Decluttering Target: 227/2022

2022 - 1p Savings Challenge: Running Total £17.92

Oh wow! Thankyou for that. I'm going to count 200 for stationery then and another 50 for random bits and bobs I have been slowly working through! 

I got up early this morning.  I am a prolific paperwork/cards/kids crafts hoarder so I sorted the 2 kallax boxes full of loose paperwork.  I must be throwing over 1000 sheets 🙈 I'm definately not counting them though so going to claim 100 for it.  I have a stack ready for shredding that is at least 2 x 500 paper reams high.  My friend is bringing me round her shredder this afternoon so I will get to that as soon as its here.  I did find 2 x £25 refund cheques in amongst the paperwork though so it has paid off 🥰 Going to treat us to a day out during half term with it.

Total to date: 586 items! Wow 😊

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday 😊

A quick dive into the shed today for a tidy up (stuff had just been bunged) and as a preliminary to decorating the loo over the next couple of days (oh the glamour). Found the bathroom paint, gloss and undercoat. I wasn’t sure if we had any undercoat so that was a happy surprise. 

Whilst in there had a quick speed sort out. Laundry basket swapped into the bathroom and found some bits that can go either to charity or on the freebie sites locally. 

Cruised the bottom of the fridge and there are now a load of veggies in the slow cooker for a chicken and veggie casserole. 

Now decluttering the end of my ‘to watch’ list.

Mrs SD, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.  It’s sounds as though M was a lovely lady

It’s been a little while since I last posted as I’ve been feeling a bit rubbish and run down – had a load more blood tests done recently and am (from my reading of the results and lots of googling!) low in Vit D and Iron.  I’ve a call with the Doc later this week to confirm.  Makes sense why I’m struggling so much with fatigue, headaches and am now on my 4th lot of antibiotics this year!  Ugh – I’m so done with feeling rubbish – it’s about 15 months since I had Covid and I haven’t been right since. 

Anyway, onto more positive things, I’ve managed to sort a couple more frogs this week, and last weekend my Dad took a load more stuff to the charity shop and scrap store for me:

34-36 Boxes to charity shop

37-39 3 bags of crafty books, fabrics etc to the scrapstore

As this week is half term for most of my students I’ve only got about half my normal tution, so am planning on going through a couple of bookcases that have now been unearthed in my spare room.  Hopefully I can send at least half the books to charity and then start sorting some of my craft things into the spaces that are left – sitting down decluttering is definitely the way forward for me at the moment!

I’ve also found a few items of clothing - some with labels still on them - that I plan to try to sell – cue getting lots of other random stuff done as I procrastinate over this

467.  Helped DS sign up for gym 
468. Chew toy back to neighbours dogs (assuming a fox brought it into our garden - our cat is not that brave  )
469.  Physio 6/12 (realised its not 14 as  I thought as I'm meant to have a rest day once a week.
470.  Jar of pasta sauce to food bank (didn't realise it had meat in it) 

Feeling pleased that we made the most of the good weather over the last couple of days by going out for nice walks in Town.    My knee is improving and I can walk further now which is a relief. The horrible weather today has at least made me knuckle down and get some outstanding admin tasks done. This morning I had a completion session with a client today -it's my intention that I will no longer schedule clients at the weekend.  I've been wanting to do this for a while but honoured my commitment to that particular client who could only do Sunday mornings.  I hadn't realised how happy I was that its finally happened! 

471. Physio 7/12
472. Listed an item on eBay (I find it sooo stressful and won't be making a habit of it )
473. decorative wooden crate
474. An hour of responding to emails and messages
475. Repaired dressing gown 
476. Jumper
477. Ball of wool 
478. Finished working at weekends

Evening everyone
I've finally made some progress on the decluttering mountain that is my house - i got a new address book about 3 years ago and have finally transferred all details into it from my old book that was literally falling apart - i shredded old details and recycled all the unused pages - it was quite satisfying to see the ex's details go through the shredder I have downloaded a book-selling app and zapped all my unwanted books & DVDs and they will accept 10 of them .  Have filled 1.5 bags for the CS. Shredded loads of paperwork including stuff from the job i left in January 2020 .....
love Deni

Wow. Thankyou for the ⭐️ MRSD and DH is will be grateful for his 🏅 when I tell him about it. A little bit done today but msot of it will be done tomorrow. I camin at 11am this morning after being at a friends overnight for my birthday next week.

So much declutering done here since I last popped in. I can report 1 bag out but each of my three friends gave me stuff for the charity shop this morning as we parted company. DH has the car tomorrow so I will package it up and put it rght back in the car when he comes home. 

Hitting the garage/craft room/ van rotation of stuff tomorrow so I hope to get rid of plenty more stuff.

I had the lovely experience last night of a proper birthday cake and candles. Not done for me since I was child  This is mini me on my allotment

Not a lot to report.  DiL back to work yesterday.  Went to large shopping mall 1 hour drive from here with DS2 and GC.  I finally took my glass figures (Swar) to the shop to be sent off for repair - I have a collection of about 30 mostly small ones but three have needed repair for more than 10 years! Not broken but a loose ear or foot.  They are sent back to Austria so will be about 8 weeks.  A longstanding frog dealt with. 

278 Glass animals sent off for repair
279 Trimmed two bushes - kept looking at them out the window so decided to get secateurs and deal with them
