2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

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

Dinner was crispy haddock fishcakes, mash & mixed vegetables - DSis had 2 forkfuls & was not enamoured so had salmon fillet instead of a fishcake. I will do the wudupa after I finish cheerleading.

380 - 381 Kitchen recycling, plastic bottle - recycled
382 Kitchen detritus binned 

Sorry to hear you have been feeling down due to tiredness & lack of motivation  Baxtersmum 😔 but hopefully your successful eDay sales 👏 will motivate you to declutter a few more items 🤞

I am very impressed bargainbetty - finding the silver lining to the cloud of broken fridge freezer & ruined food 👏 one medal 🏅 on its way. Hopefully you will find a few items to sell 🤞

Excellent decluttering vulpix 👏 No roofer & no plumber 😖 Shame about the lost plants & pots 😞 As to the garden, you have a bit more time to finalise your plans 😉 P168 = 55 but you didn’t include the 20 bags of rubble on p118 😉

Welcome aboard The EDT stud26 👋 Pleased you have found us & have made such a good start to your decluttering journey 👏 I have skip envy 😉😉

Excellent decluttering EnergyShifter 👏 you obviously overdid it, so welcome back to The TLC Carriage 🙂

Hugs to all who may need them.  Trying to stop myself stressing out about Ukraine, Covid, fuel etc - I am sure we are all in the same boat. (or should that be on the same train!)
 
360 Old torn coat to bin - I realised I had two spares hanging in hall for gardening etc - result as I found 87p in the pocket - ticked off that square on my 1p challenge chart which I am completing in a very random fashion. I also found 20p in car park the other day.
361 Random emails replied to/deleted/or saved
362 MOT and service done  - painful as brake discs and pads needed doing but everything else ok.

Started packing for my trip and putting some essential bits in a box to take (we are staying in a lodge). Out with DS2 today looking for shoes for DGS4.

I am glad the funeral went well @TC77. Big hugs.  Sounds like the perfect funeral @Mrs_Salad_Dodger. Big hugs to you too 

Welcome @tealady and @stud26

I came back from DB in Blackpool  yesterday. It was a great visit although I don't agree with his views on a lot of things. I placed the pallet and plants as planned into his tiny yard and it looks brighter already. I know he won't always be able to take care of them and there will be losses but most are hardy an can take a bit of dryness.

Came home with a nearly empty car and back ache from too much sitting. Resting today until the CS this afternoon. I plan in rest period nowadays to manage my energy levels.

Coming home with fresh eyes on the untidiness. Downstairs is not so bad now but I think a week of working at deep cleaning and putting stuff away will finish it off. 

I am taking more plants to would be BiL house on Monday and starting his garden off. At the moment he had nothing but slabs and grass. He hates gardening but will benefit mentally from some colour. I am giving his hardy perrenials from my garden that require virtually no care apart from cutting back in the autumn. 

Have a great day everyone.

Brief update 

The mental health team have told me to sling my hook 😂😂 after four years and countless assessments, I am now being referred back to a neurologist. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry sometimes. 

I know Mrs SD mentioned my old username (before I forgot my password) and felt that I’d moved forward by changing it, sadly I’m still has befuddled as ever. My working memory is so bad that I struggle to remember exactly what I did yesterday or even if I took my tablets this morning. 
I have a Post-it note in my line reminding me of my annual dementia test on Monday. I need to get a grip and plan the rest of the month because it’s feeling like Spring. I’m turning into a hermit and having to force myself to go out. Going into town today. If I get anything done I will post again later

Just a quick visit to note my small successes over the last few days and give me some motivation to get on with it today

I have set up a "virtual garage" aka a cardboard box in which to put the stuff that will end up there.  I figure having the stuff sorted into boxes will temporarily clutter up our spare room but allow me to properly sort everywhere else. 🤞 

decluttered
9-18  plant kits, seeds packets & old accounts to virtual garage and bin of unwanted photos, handful of ink cartridge lids (why oh why had i kept them??!!) , old handbag, yet another old LFT & 2 mags to rubbish/recycling

Coffee made and hopefully a productive day ahead!  

It's a lovely sunny day here - hope it's the same for everyone

Good morning. 

 Sounds like your SIL had a very good send off Mrs SD. It is a great testament to a life if you have touched so many hearts. ❤️

 Thank you for reminding me of my numbers. I had forgotten about the rubble. I don’t know if I should include it #quandry😂. I don’t usually count things that I think are household. Recycling and the like. I see many more bags of rubble in my future so maybe I should. I suppose I do “own “ it after all. 

 Mr V at work today. I was having what I thought would be a lovely lie in. Ping 8:15 roofers!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurrah. 

 I intend to have a waddle to the farmers market later. Very picturesque setting round the canal basin. Honestly it is! 

 I have had a parcel from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. A tiny ceramic Croft and a felted puffin. ❤️  

 Spring is on the way. Here’s hoping for better times wherever we may be in the world.

9 more things rehomed!

• charity shop for 2 things, a pug bauble candle, I know right!? And a CD I’ve never played
• 4 Harry Potter board games back to their rightful owner
• 1Artificial plant to Son1
• 2 bottles of flavoured coffee syrup rehomed. 

Went out with Son1 and Decluttered some mushroom casserole and neeps. Now back home to get into my PJ’s and gather some energy for a trip next week 

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

I've not been decluttering much, more catching up on housework tidying my bedroom & Henry-ing the upstairs. I've got a few things for the chazzer tomorrow - I tend to donate on a Sunday as the manager of my chosen charity is in then, and I always get an honest response to the "are you taking?" question!

I'm hoping to plant some of my newly emptied bed tomorrow and will be cutting back some sadly neglected hebes later to take to the tip at 8am tomorrow before it gets busy.

I've actually done some decluttering!! A car load to the tip, old paint, broken chest of drawers beyond repair and an arrange of broken plastic boxes and plant pots. Plus a lot of DD's old paints.

Covid has finally hit our house and DD is positive, so in isolation until Wednesday at earliest. Rest of us on daily LTF's but allowed out thankfully.

Going to attempt a clothes clear this afternoon and some baking x
