2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

TC77

Haven't posted for a couple of weeks but have been following posts (although can't remember all the details - alot going on for everyone @EnergyShifter I do hope the coming off meds for DS continues smoothly.

Been organising my dad's funeral which is Wed, and feel more fraught and overwhelmed the last couple of days..Thought  I would list the few things I have been doing over this time, and also today took around 15 things to CS - but included a set of sundae dishes and lovely bowl, evening bag and a few other things that at one time may have tried to sell but want to donate. 
333 - 336 paper decluttering, 337 filing
338 electronic decluttering
339- 340 - gardening - digging more weeds so think firm I paid just pulled out the top of the weeds!
As weight not decluttered had to search for appropriate clothing, and in search parcels arrived and 4 items returned 344
4 frogs moved forward or little ones eaten 348
Noticed finally the plates that had been tempting me in the CS shop have now been purchased by someone:)

Hugs to those in need x

Hugs TC77. Xxx 

I have been slowly crossing things off my to do list. Everything ready for my guy to come and fit the revamped outside loo door. 

The plumber messaged and said he would come this week. I won’t hold my breath. You can’t rush these things 🤣 same for the roofer. 🤦‍♀️

 Life has calmed down somewhat now but planned sort out of MIL’s garage didn’t happen as DD2 cat hurt himself exploring at his new house. We were cat ambulance. £525 later…unknown what he did but he seems brighter now. 

 MIL is now in a care home but the plan is for her to go home again once support can be arranged. 

 We are still slowly shedding stuff as we go. 

 I can’t wait for the scaffolding to go and then I can crack on with making a garden. Several terracotta pots have cracked over the winter. I am going to treat myself to some new ones at the weekend. 

 I am enjoying reading every ones posts. 

 45. Sky box  
 49. Large box of audio cables sold
 53. 4 white plastic chairs. Given away on fb
 54. About8 lengths of white plastic border edge given away  
 55.mug I smashed it by stacking too much on the draining board!

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

Finally did my Friday frog - emptied & cleaned the fridge + sorted & rearranged the contents - only one item binned as ood 😉 Dinner was sm chicken in breadcrumbs, mash & sweetcorn. Wudupa. My flowers (from DSis) have met their maker so put in the compost bin. Whilst out I noticed that one of my rhubarb plants has gone mad 😉 I see an apple & rhubarb crumble in our future 🙂

362 - 364 Kitchen recycling, plastic bottle, drinks cans - recycled 

365 Kitchen detritus binned 

Excellent decluttering short_bird 👏 Very impressed with 5 NSDs 🥳

Good work EnergyShifter 👏

Nice to see you TC77 👋 Hugs coming your way & I hope that the funeral goes as well as it can. Great decluttering & good work on moving frogs along 👏 You have reminded me that I need to sort some suitable clothes for sister in law’s funeral on Thursday. Your resistance has paid off - no more temptation to buy the plates from CS 😉

Well done vulpix 👏 Hopefully the plumber & odd job man will turn up by the end of the week 🤞 and your patience will be rewarded. Ouch to the vet visit cost 😣

Plodding on but need to get back to real decluttering.  Looks like next week's Scotland trip will cost an arm and a leg in diesel.  DD is driving but I said I'd pay for fuel as she has paid accommodation.  Just discovered one place I wanted to visit is closed until they can do a proper survey of some loose masonry.  

334 Frog dealt with - only a small thing but not easy to deal with mentally
335 Banking all updated
336 Numerous screenshots cleared from my PC screen.  Either labelled and filed properly or deleted
337 Downloads folder - same as above
338 Email in box empty - all responses sent
339-340 oddments for two charities I am on committee for dealt with
341 Another zoom meeting attended

Right I need to get dressed (oh dear its nearly 10) and go into town then drop something off for DS2

Morning All,
Item sold on FB yay! amazing it works when folks know about it. It was an old Kenwood that still have a good service time in it. The story about its need is an older lady who bakes a lot for her church and charities in her community and knows very well how to fix them. This is why they were built to last. My machine will be going for spares were we OK with that? Why would we not be?
DH sold his big lawnmower and was collected promptly. More space in his shed. Removed some "needed to be kept" boxes into the loft till the need is no longer required. He also cut and split some more dried wood (which we are running out of as the rest has got wet again due to rising water in the dyke at the back of the garden. Bit more space created. We will be doing some more work to help reduce the rise risk seeping into our garden. 
Had conversation with DH and his non use of clothing in his wardrobe and the need for me to turn some of his "favourites" into rags for the shed and him to start using his "stock"  Repurposed one of my t shirts into rags. 
Ironing done and put away (IDAPA) 
Decluttered the CS bag into another CS bag which will be collected tomorrow. 
Loaded up new bank app ready for tomorrow when it all gets moved over. Then looking forward to the financial payment from them too. Didn't even turn into a frog!

Enjoy the sunshine peeps
Stay safe

Thankyou Mrs SD? Loaded a pallet into the car yesterday and loading pots in the morning for first Pallett Bed as I am calling them. Each time I go I can take an additional pallet with plants and pots to go on it and build it up over a few years.

I hope the funeral goes smoothly @TC77. Big hugs and peaceful vibes coming to you.

A new string to your bow @vulpix : cat ambulance Glad the moggy is feeling better. 

I have cleared the paperwork and 'stuff' from the dining room as it has been building up for a while. We have two working offices and this is one of them. It is difficult to do stuff in there in the day when people DD is working and I can't be bothered in the evening. Most of the stuff was filing and a few other bits. Got a very tiny to do list from it.

A small bag for the CS today. Stuff going out again at last

my rustic makes for craft club today. First time I have made any cake type things in this oven. 

It is rumoured that the roofer is coming tomorrow 😯

 Best wishes to all.

Ooh is it an Easter pavlova?  I love mini eggs. My MIL made something similar a few years ago but hers went horribly wrong. The whole family was in stitches laughing - I had to leave the room as I just couldn’t stop. Not sure she’s ever really forgiven me 😂 

I think I have 24 pages to catch up on, you all must be doing better than me. I keep finding “ bargains”so more stuff coming in than going out. Hopefully just a phase 🙄
