Hi Peeps,
hope all are doing OK, things are steady on here and stuff is still moving out like hot larva. I managed to declutter a crystal champagne glass as it slipped from a wet hand. Fortunately it was an empty wash basin full of water as debris also landed in there. I threw its partner away as did not want to risk same happening with DH as he is a bit of a bleederI did sort out some packed boxes and some containers that were in there too, plastic & glass perfume and aftershave bottles that someone failed to pay for on the bay. Not to worry they are out of the house now. Mail still getting sorted and shredded immediately.
Decluttered a considerable amount of pennies on a new tall larder fridge. There is only the 2 of us but DH wanted a match to the freezer. They should both see us out.
Clothes wise still not getting much out - a pair of socks!!

Mrs. S_D - of course you can PM me. Not sure how it works though.
Yesterday started off great. It was Mother's Day here. Sent cards to my nieces that I made on the computer. Also made cards for some friends who are ill. Was planning on cleaning more - but life gets in the way. Ended up instead taking my female roommate to the hospital emergency room as she was complaining of bad headaches. She had fallen over two months ago at Disneyland and hit her head. After five hours sitting in the emergency room, the doctor told her it was post-concussion problems. I did manage to read a book while waiting - a mystery cozy that takes place in Edinburgh. Could recognize the places mentioned. Today I am trying to catch up.10 -

4 sturdy boxes picked up

Evening All, Well busy week or so. 2 car boots done and £194 raised so far. Family loan was written off, so will go towards clearing OH's overdraft. I enjoy doing them and it's motivating me to declutter items to sell. Even though decluttered loads house still not tired, not going to beat myself up. Will keep plodding and get there eventually. I'm keeping a written list and find it's motivates me!
Work very busy and managing a team of 7 and all the dramas is exhausting at times. Still working from home but going to the office 2 days this week for a change.

Been in bed last 2 days whole of my bones hurting.Nothing much done apart from phone and computer decluttering. Today I am tottering around,and tidied the shelf under my computer.I sit there to read my mail,and I found that I had ''saved'' no less than seven empty envelopes,and a shameful number of empty choc bar wrappers,so they went in the bin.At least I kept all the kitchen benches and the table clear of stuff,But I have a huge pile of washing to sort and put away. Looks really messy in the dining nook when everything else is so tidy,so thats tomorrow's task10

@EnergyShifter no problem, glad I could help! I have no luck “wining” anything on my but nothing site, but I do an excellent trade with getting rid of stuff!
Nothing much happening here. Been mostly distracted, but been sorting out digital stuff in the evenings and managed to rack up quite a lot of decluttered items. I feel like there’s a little bit more physical stuff to go, so will stalk the house in the next few days to see if there’s anything I missed. If not, there’s absolutely no excuse for the place to not be tidy 😬.
Sadly emails have taken a back seat and as I’ve ordered a few things lately, they’ve crept back up to almost 200. Must try harder to get those under control.
Decluttering achieved:
407 - 440 - digital notes (still got about 60 notes, so there must be more to get rid of)441 - 442 - baby clothes
443 - 458 - files deleted from downloads folder. Only got about 5-6 files left to sort out.. I really just need to finish it!458 - 466 - old digital financial files deleted2025 decluttering: 3,491🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅

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
Monday was another warmish day some sunshine but not as bright as it has been. Never got around to sorting clothing but promise I will do it tomorrow. Note cancelling milk & eggs is now with the milkman, wrote a menu plan & then went to sm - only person wearing a mask on the bus & in the sm 😔 Dinner was fried eggs, dry fried bacon, oven chips, roast tomatoes & mushrooms 🤤 Wudupa. DH’s hand is still swollen & the pain/itch has moved from the tip of his fingers to the first joint 😣
806 - 807 Kitchen recycling, newspaper - recycled
808 Kitchen detritus binned
Liverpool_Anne I am sure you gave the blind every opportunity to function properly 😉 What a good friend you are 👏 Hope OH’s appointment goes well & that you get to enjoy the rest of the day 🤞 I almost choked on my coffee reading about the podiatry appointment challenge 😂😉
Lovely post florianatwobob 🙂 Mummy Floriana sounds wonderful & obscure information is always entertaining & needs to be shared 😉
TC77 thanks for the reminder about biotex 👏
basketcase, sorry to hear that you are still barking ☹️ Sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed the Nick Mason gig 👏 Thanks for the information re the Kinross Travelodge 👏 you have every right to vent as I would have been dismayed/annoyed by the charge for Wi-Fi & the lack of toiletries. Please remember that you need to build up your stamina slowly & try not to get too frustrated 😉 Thanks for the reminder of Eurovision - last time I watched I picked 3rd & 4th place but not a fan of the winning song. Please do the minimum necessary to set up for DD’s visit - you need your energy for the Eurovision party 😉😉 Thanks for the milk tip on removing blood stains 👏
You have been busy TC77 👏 especially dealing with a frog 🙂
Shame about the champagne glass 2Scratters ☹️ but pleased you appear to have escaped injury 🙂 Good decluttering 👏 Hope the larder fridge wasn’t too expensive 🤞
So sorry to hear about your roommate weenancyinAmerica ☹️ Did the doctor give her anything for the headaches? Re PM - at the top of each page there is an Envelope icon marked Messages. When you receive a message it will appear in your Inbox. Now I have permission, I will PM you in the next couple of days 🙂
Good work TC77 👏
Deni_debt-free_dreamer, good work decluttering both electronic & physical mail 👏
Great result from the 2 car boots Fizz2015 👏 Try not to get too exhausted at work as your decluttering will suffer 😉 🙃
Please take the time to fully recover dustydigger 🙂 the TLC Carriage is available 😉
Great work on the digital decluttering QueenJess 👏 I rather like the vision of you stalking the house to find more physical clutter 😂

I'm dipping my toe back in the decluttering game today, starting with decluttering a big chunk of money to get my car back on the road. Never mind, I need it to get to work. Also got a charity bag started, put in a bathroom set, a swimming costume and a kitchen chopper gadget, none of which I'll miss. I think that makes 22 items this year which is a bit sad but a start.Magnolia Stellata9
