2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

nannywindow

Hello all, been busy today cleaning the spare bedroom, then sorting and tidying the craft drawers, again. Next I had another mad  decluttering moment, even though I'd been through the spare room before, I still found stuff I really didn't need or want.
To the cs;-
3 dolls
A dolls blanket
A new body mist spray, didn't like it.
Children's jar of bubbles
Bag of crafting feathers
Up words game
Giant snakes and ladders game 
Quiz Night game
Other
Tub of reusable screws, nuts and bolts ( lo from the x trainer ) to DH's shed
2 very old mobile phones.
About 1/2 an inch off my fringe, wondered why I was having trouble seeing properly 🤣
To the bin or recycling;-
A large plastic tub with lid
Small plastic bottle, no idea why that was kept
Manual from x trainer
Open bag of wild bird seed, BB 2020 😮🐦 
4 UHT milk cartons, the contents went down the drain as they were OOD and chunky 🤢
........And for a final flourish Clumsy Clara struck again when I smashed a glass to smithereens, which was later followed by knocking a full cup of coffee all over the kitchen worktop, by me again ! 😱 
Take care all, hugs to those in need/pain

623. Helped DS change his gym membership
624 - 648 - 25 x items of clothes and footwear 

Well my decluttering energy from yesterday stayed with me and I am still finding it easier to let go of things that I've been hanging onto.  That being said I have just taken a bag, 2 skirts & a necklace out of the charity shop bag that I started this morning, so i feel it might be wearing off ! I'd better get this stuff out of the house sooner rather than later in case I retrieve more!! Also - full disclosure - I treated myself to a lovely jumpsuit that was in the Seasalt sale - 5 clothing items out today so that's more than balanced out  and it's the only jumpsuit I own  

649.         Bin of shredded paper
650.         Returned extra jumpsuit - (ordered 2 for size) 
651          trousers 
652 & 3 - 2 x necklaces
654.         Alarm clock
655.         set of beads
656.         blanket
657.         Poncho
658-660  3 x tops
661 & 2 - 2x pairs ski socks
663 & 4 - 2 x vintage dresses - They still fit but I'm never going to wear them again - I'll let someone else enjoy them

TC77 - The Naval College - what a gorgeous venue for your book club! 
Wort & others - I agree - the poppies at the tower were breathtaking and very moving - I can see why those of you that have one - treasure it.

@EnergyShifter - actually the pub Old Brewery as you can sit outside when it gets lighter can walk over the heath and through the park.
Impressed by everyone doing so much and parting with much more than me. Took bag to CS and added another jumper (took other things out of the drawers but put back or in the wash - in better light can see the marks!) 472
CS also took 3 empty jewellery boxes/bags to display things 475
DD1 wanted cake tin so took few baking things, a filing box and covid tests to her 481
Welcome to newbies..... I remember joining mid year a few years ago. I am noticing a difference and avoiding imagining my house now if I hadn't

994-1005: items to bin and recycling (must restock preferred cough mixture)

Doing OK health wise, a little better every day. In isolation till 29th or 2 consecutive negative tests but those positives are showing up strong and clear...

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 

Wednesday stayed bright & sunny. DH had no luck with the bike. He has had to order a few bits & is hoping that Thursday is more successful 🤞Although I got meat from the freezer & had done nothing all day, I CBA’d to cook so DH & I had curry & DSis had Chinese - the added benefit is no cooking Thursday 😉 Started watching a new 6 part series called The Simpler Life - a 6 month social experiment - 24 people living like the Amish but in Devon - 2 episodes in & only 16 people left 😱 
Thursday is another nice sunny & bright day. Just about to have my 2nd cuppa & will then stir my stumps & do something, anything off my To Do list 😔

511 - 512 Kitchen recycling & detritus

Short_bird I had covid back in March 2020 worsened by an underlying chest infection (so quite unwell but fortunately not hospitalised). In this nice weather, if you are safely able to sit outside in the sun, I can recommend it helped me feel a lot better. Even if just reading a book. If the pollution levels aren't great, I also recommend a face mask to reduce the amount of gunk you breathe in.

Stay safe and well but enjoy the sun everyone.

Two out of the three clients I had booked in this morning cancelled - sadly this is the don't get paid for no shows contract - but I used the time productively.  I took a bag of stuff to the charity shop without taking any more stuff out beforehand - in fact I put the two skirts back in (but held onto the bag & necklace) and dropped off a massive Ikea bag of stuff to the Ukraine Collection point.  This involved a short train journey so I'm pleased I managed to do that. However my biggest achievement was getting DS out the door for a day of activities with a group organised by the mental health trust.  I've just had a power-nap and I'm going out this eve to a meal and a talk - if I hadn't promised a friend I would go I would probably have ducked out but I'm sure it will be nice once I get there.

664. Thermals
665.  Fur collar
666.  Carry pouch
667.  replaced toilet brush - old one in rubbish
669 & 670 - Ikea bag & bag for life
671 & 2 - 2 x skirts back in the charity shop bag - safely in the charity shop now..... 
673 - box of very pretty flowery plasters - years old 
674. Book back to the station library
675. DS out to activities (hardest task of the day !!!) 

TC77 - The Old Brewery is lovely ! Its been a while since I've been there!!  Great place for a bookclub meet-up!

@EnergyShifter ...well done putting some things back in the CS bag. Book club used to be top of a pub near the park but OBrewery we can be outside!

DD1 rang me to say she's worried I'm missing out on life (and have for years) trying to sort the house, telling me I should just move. Doesn't understand that I need to sort and decorate to be able to do this, but does remind me I need to speed up and not  hum and ha over every item  

Took exercise machine (v small) to CS - picked up from neighbour a few months ago and never used (like many things I've wombled or picked up cheap. Took a few other things, book, jewellery box, skirt and trousers (just felt otherwise too paltry an offering) . Found another jumper but needed washing, now washed dried and in new CS bag.487 swept up stuff in garden. 488

And forgot - 3 lids from storage boxes I no longer have, and extra large cat scratching post (2 parts). outside in the hope may be of use to someone but otherwise bin day tomorrow (count as 5) 493

Forgot yesterday 1 item sold, lots of packaging and posted.495  Forgot to take textile bag to CS 

I think since counting frogs I have a false sense of how much is going out of the house, so may think of having 2 numbers but then more chance of me frequently forgetting where I am with any numbers! 
@-taff and others in awe of how you did massive declutter as I plod on.

Off work now for a week and had plans to paint a room - meant to be my office but temp moved to bedroom as so cold. I think it may take me a week to clear it to paint:)
