2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

Nothing to live up to florianatwobob 😉 all it means is that you can start your 2022 decluttering journey basking in the knowledge that you are already a successful declutterer 🙂

Hi all, I definitely will be here, I have so much still to do. I don't do numbers as I think for me I would either fail miserably and then beat myself up or set a target that's too low and start to feel bad because I hadn't set a proper target. Suffice to say I would like to have my kitchen replaced and the front room sorted. I also have the room of doom which is the small bedroom to sort out. The garden is also a big job and I hope to make some progress there. 
I hate wasting anything and I have realised that I struggle to let things go if there is some life left in them, so I will be aiming to make some rational decisions about things like clothes and shoes. I think I probably have enough decorating/ gardening clothes
Looking forward to seeing you all here in the new year
Take care everyone

Yippee - already 28 people signed up 🥳 I need to revert to replying in one post rather than individual posts or we will be on page 10 before we know it 😉

You are very welcome Gem-gem 🙂 I can see you have really thought about your 2022 Goals. They are specific & easily measurable & I foresee a successful 2022 👏

Welcome aboard CCW007 👋 Self care is a wonderfully specific goal 👏 Wishing you every success in selling your CDs & hoping that you are earmarking the monies earned for a treat that will contribute to self care 🙂 

Seat is reserved Floss 🙂 I look forward to reading about your successes.

You are very welcome to join us Smookle 👋 btw I really like the name 🙂 Hopefully we can help you to get started on the journey to a clutter free home 🤞

Welcome aboard carrotstick_2 👋 Exciting times ahead - a new home and the opportunity to declutter 🙂 The more you manage to declutter the less you will have to pack 😉

Lovely to see you Jollymum & welcome aboard 👋 I have amended my thread title slightly so hopefully there will be no confusion 😉 Pleased to have lured you back to the OS Forum & hopefully we can inspire you to declutter & tidy which will make life easier 🤞 You have taken the first step by finding us 🙂 In view of your bad back I hope you have enlisted both your husband & son to do any heavy lifting 😉 

Welcome aboard TC77 - very specific goals & pleased to see that you will be devoting time for self care 👏

Of course you can join us SootySweep1 - welcome aboard 👋 The age old problem of declutterers everywhere - ‘how can I declutter & be eco friendly at the same time?’ Perhaps you could set a time limit on how long you hang onto items that are potentially destined for other people? As to your CS dilemma, perhaps you could enlist someone else to drop off your donations thereby avoiding the temptation to buy 😉

Looking forward to seeing you on the 1st short_bird 🙂

Looking forward to your tales of success Liverpool_Anne 🙂 A new kitchen sounds exciting & such a great opportunity to declutter unused gadgets 😉 

I am getting quite excited about our 2022 decluttering adventure 🙂. Only 5 days to go 😉

Ok so seen a few people talk about frogs...I'm assuming we are not talking about the ones that hop around and say "ribbet"?

I will be joining again for 2022 so please save me a seat on the electric train please.  I’m so near my target I'm going to keep posting on the 2021 thread until the 31st Dec or until I have hit my target. Only a few items short I think. (Just checked 7 items to go)

I would love to join please. My aim is to declutter at least 2022 things in 2022.

I have decided l need to join, l have been a lurker and think l
 need the challenge to focus my very great need to declutter. My problem is l like stuff and find it hard to get rid with the just in case l need it mentality, get this from my mum who was a great carbooter when they first started up not the rubbish you get now.
l also need to do it now as if l pop my clogs my daughter will just bin it all and some things do have more that sentimental value.

Morning All.
I would like to join in for 2022 please. I often do little declutters and I'm good at not bringing stuff into the house, but there are areas that need sorting, including clothes belonging to other family members that are starting to exceed the storage available! 
I managed to prevent stuff creeping in by agreeing no gifts with some family members this year, so my grand total of gifts was 5 trees planted on my behalf by the Woodland Trust (zero clutter), a box of my favourite shortbread (won't be around for long) and a lovely 1952 coronation mug which I have a place for on my kitchen windowsill.
When I decorated for Christmas, I sent to the charity shop several bits that I haven't used for a few years. I will sort through again when I pack away.

Frogs are jobs or tasks that need doing, particularly ones you don't want to do or have been putting off. I've always loved and tried to abide by the saying "if you've got to eat frogs, eat the biggest b*gger first" :-).

Morning all, can I join the declutter train please Mrs SD? Last year I was more of a lurker than a poster, but some things did leave the house. This year I want to concentrate more on decluttering our very small house (+ 2 sheds & a garage), our bedroom is the dumping ground, so would be lovely to go to bed without wondering if there will be an avalanche in the middle of the night!
I will aim for 365 items, but secretly hoping it will be a lot more than that! Will sell as much as I can, to put money towards building an extension, then donate or bin the rest.
Good luck everyone!
