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

The reason I didn’t post on Friday is that I spent the entire day in my snuggly dressing gown & did sweet nothing apart from watch TV. DH still suffering - almost five weeks now 😔 Our local chippie is delivering again - so fish’n’chips for me, pie & chips for DSis and kebab for DH which he regretted as the spices aggravated his arm ☹️ I did manage the washing up 😉

Saturday was a lovely sunny day but no real warmth. Short chat with our incumbent councillor who gets my vote again as he does a good job 👏  Finally got around to going shopping 😉 Everything put away & notebook updated. Dinner was salmon fillets and/or pork steaks, tinned new potatoes bbe April 2021 & tinned sweetcorn. Wudupa. 

735 - 740 Kitchen recycling x 2, drinks cans x 2, magazine, booklet - recycled

741 - 743 Kitchen detritus x 2, plastic packaging - binned

Hi, Happy 1st May, pinch and a punch!
I’m finally feeling a lot better, increased medication has worked like a dream, so I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up and hope everyone is ok.

I tackled an enormous job I’d been putting off and took down my shed, it took me a day and now just have to take the wood to the tip.
pone panel needs breaking down but I ran out of steam so Son1 is going to pop over and do that for me. 5 months into this challenge and I’m over halfway so really very happy! 

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend 🌞☺️🥳

Hello All, raining here. Attempted a carboot this morning, got to the site for 7am, about 20 cars when usually over 200. Rain got worse so didn't even unpack the car and drove home. On the plus I have found another carboot to do tomorrow instead. So will use the van instead of car. First need to declutter the in-laws garage enough to fit a sofa in. The sofa has been in van whilst we try to sell it but no takers as of yet. 

I will count items once they are sold.

Will do a tip run for the in-laws. Does getting rid of others people's clutter count?

I'm also keeping a list of everything leaving the house, I'm quite spurred on. Still a long way to go but little and often is the key.

Shredders total had increased to 74 of 500 by the end of April. Getting there

Good on you for taking a rest day @Mrs_Salad_Dodger. I hope DH feels better soon. Yes I have been over doing it a bit but took a rest day a few days ago. DH has been excellent and has been over to help me again today. 

Last night I finally delivered a kingsize  quilt and a bag of bits to plus a box containing a stereo to DS2. Counting 1 bag and 1 large item.

No purchases from the CS and more people are leaving. 

I have been on the allotment or out in the garden every day. DH ws with me doing manual labour today. Got a load of stuff done and the place improveds each visit. Very pleased. Now off to the garden to sow some seeds.

Have a fab day everyone.

Afternoon

Not managed much decluttering as RL is very busy.  I have carried on deleting emails; also sorted out a drawer in my bedroom - recycled 2 x shoe boxes, shredded an old diary and letters from an ex, put a couple more things in a bag for the CS - now onto my third bag....  

love Deni

QueenJess

Some more major digital decluttering along with other bits and pieces.  The house is starting to look pretty good and I'm genuinely struggling to find much to declutter.  Must be a good thing!  Also emails are below 150 now... getting closer!

261 - 296 - digital bookmarks deleted

297 - 307 - kids paperwork/crafts

308 - packaging

309 - kids coat outgrown

310-311 - bathroom supplies used up

Well done on taking time out, MrsSD.  Sorry to hear that MrSD's still suffering.

I've been following along but not really doing anything very much for the past week.  However, hopefully, the Covid's on its way out, today was the last day of self-isolation (not that I felt like going anywhere anyway!) and I can start to build up steam again.

I did do a 15 minute declutter on the verandah and got rid of a few plantpots, but really need to get the Rear in Gear.

Ah well, onwards and forwards (upwards is a bit ambitious at the moment! )

GrannyKate

Not much done today although busy day yesterday.  Too nice to stay in Saturday so gardening done.

724/725 Both lawns cut
726 Lots of weeding and pot emptying
727 Patio brushed and moss cleared
728 Greenhouse emptied and sorted
729 Made small pond with children in dustbin lid
730 Extra plastic pots and general carp to tip
731 Odd metal bits to tip
732 Bag of garden waste to recycling

Friday frogs still jumping around undone.  Off South for 6 days on Thursday.  Sussex and Berks (I know Mrs SD likes to know these things) - Family history conference and visiting relatives whilst I am there. Gardening was probably not a good idea as back is sore again.  May spend time this week in TLC carriage.
