2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

@Wort so sad to hear about your family loss, I found the poppies at the tower very moving so can only imagine how much more poignant for you
@EnergyShifter its lovely how in London you walk through from those parks one to another , I haven't done that for a long time. Although I've been down near the Naval College for my book club tonight - first in person for 2 years!
Back at dental hospital as tooth (or lack of ) pain worse - packed with clove and other stuff which promptly came out after leaving the hospital but apparently isn't that important so fingers crossed pain will improve
Few things yesterday, deleted photos off phone, emails and ood food, few weeds from garden and cajoling frog ready for eating 470.
Sorted BG but found they paid my refund/compensation into my dad's account - now frozen- BG emailed me with my postcode and address wrong, saying they were confident they had resolved the issue .While confidence is often to be admired I pointed out they hadn't!
Forgot how being in pain makes me much less tolerant
Hoping those unwell are on the way to recovering and that the sunshine is helping those struggling x9 -

My wife bought her nan one of the poppies (we also bought one). Her nan had it framed beautifully and on her wall. It went with her to her nursing home and sadly back to us when she passed at 98 (straight after a nice telephone call with my wife).It's been one of only 2 items we've always hung up with pride in our 4 homes since then. We haven't even gotten round to opening ours yet.Been selling bits and pieces all week so plenty of exercise posting them. Hopeful for another good clear out this weekend of stuff. Have also found a new home for the trunk in my office. Its going to friends in Wales who I know will make yse of it. Just need to empty it first...May you find your sister soon Helli.

4. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bedDH is trying to get one of the exhaust pipes off the Harley - ably assisted by DSis. Unfortunately not have a lot of luck even though they have been at it for a good couple of hours ☹️ Straight into cheerleading 😉Excellent decluttering nannywindow especially the cross trainer 👏 just wonder why there has never been a ‘pleased trainer’ 🤣 says something about exercise 😉😉 pleased to hear that frog has been despatched so now you will have safe toes 🙂Loving the odd places people have been locked in weenancyinAmerica & vulpix 🙂Great news about your knee EnergyShifter 🙂 taking care has worked wonders 👏 I agree it always seems easier to declutter clothing when we know someone will really benefit.Sorry to hear about the ‘tooth/lack of tooth’ pain TC77 ☹️ Hopefully you have been given some suitable medication 🤞 Great decluttering 👏 I can quite understand how pain makes you much less tolerant 😉 it tends to have the same effect on me 😉
TripleH, what a lovely thing to do with the ceramic poppy ☺️ Great decluttering of items & good cluttering of cash 👏Welcome aboard The EDT galgogirl 👋 No such thing as being late to the decluttering challenge 🙂 Every item you sort out, recycle, throw out or donate is a win 🙂 A great way to start - pick something manageable.

Not a lot of decluttering going on here. The stuff I was planning on decluttering by putting by my gate in hopes of Wombles coming by has had to stay inside as I currently have a hole in my front garden and half the road is currently dug up as the gas supply pipes are being upgraded.
The current view from my doorstep.Sadly despite numerous cups of tea and chatting the chaps up who are doing the work I’ve not been able to get the gas meter movedI have however used up a bottle
