2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

roundtuit

Morning all xx 

My old frenemy, anxiety, is messing with my head. I guess it's the change in routine. It happens sometimes when I'm on Annual Leave. Amd often in the run up to Christmas. Most annoying. But I've cut myself some slack...and ordered my great niece's birthday present online instead of pushing myself to go shopping. Also ordered Christmas presents for great niece, DB and P. So decluttered a few ££££. And made a start.

I'm not being a hermit though. I'm going for coffee at H's house this afternoon. 

This morning I plan to tackle a pile of rammel sat in the living room - and acquire a little more floor. And there are some books to go to cs too.

Brew first though

1190 DS2 changed utility room light for LED - packaging out - will count old light when it actually leaves
1191Flu jab decluttered - felt a bit shivery last night but otherwise ok

Have a few frogs lined up for this week.

But first I'll go through the box that I just brought down from RoD...

3 x CDs - CD pile
1 x empty CD case - CD pile ( I still think that either DS or his dad have the CD - and it will turn up one day. I wouldn't mind but it's Cher  and one of my favourite CDs 😡)
Gameboy Advance Instruction Book + 3 x GB Advance game instructions  and
Gameboy Color Instruction Book + 3 x GB Color game instructions - mmas bag
Parts of a wrestling ring - like with like in a basket upstairs 
3 x cassette tapes - like with like 
2 packs of playing cards - checked they're all there: 1 keep, 1 cs
14 x video tapes - I want to bin them but until I locate the two videos of a small DS on Christmas morning '95 and '97, I'm keeping the unidentified ones. So 4 binned and packaging recycled. Text sent to DS about another 3.* And 7 awaiting their fate.

Coffee now
Join me?

Ooops I brought down another box 😊 which I thought would be full of videos too...but it isn't. 
Wonder what's in there then....

Surfing a wave of anxiety - what is going on in my head???

OK. Box.
1 x Steps single CD - must be DS's because it's not mine- DS
2 x single CDs - CD pile
6 x CDs - CD pile
(So that's where my The Seekers CDs and my Judith Durham CD were....don't remember the Simon & Garfunkel CD so that's a nice surprise. 😊)
Daniel O'Donnell cassette - cassette pile
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer cassette - cs
The Art of Happiness, Dalai Lama, 2 cassettes - cs
Boxed set small books: My Bible Story Library - cs
Boxed set small board books: Village Mouse Stories - cs
18 x Little Miss books - bookshelf 
34 x Mister Men books - bookshelf

I'm sure there's a Mr Man book in RoD2. He'll be pleased to see his mates 😊

Empty box - woot woot

2 wash bags (unused) - cs
1 used washbag - bin
1 tatty pencil case - bin
2 chewed pens - bin

Oh my days. This isn't a house, it's a blasted TARDIS!!!

'Ah' thinks I, 'I'll put the Mr Men and Little Miss books on the shelf in the cupboard in the wall unit. That's empty!'

No it's not. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. How to Coach Your Own Life. When did they go in there? Is there a random Therapy Book fairy lurking in this house? Lots more books in there too. And I know where one of the Nintendo consoles is now!!! Unfortunately it's not the Advance or the Color. 

I closed the door again.

Talk about 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. 

And breathe....

@roundtuit maybe your anxiety is related to you working through the bags, and your mind wondering what you might find?

I must admit I'm finding it quite entertaining and I think your random book fairy has been to visit me too!

 Sold. New electric heater. 

 Took some trousers back. Made for a much taller person than me. Still on a trouser hunt. Meal out with old boss on Friday. 

 Roundtuit I am decluttering vicariously through you. I have a son similar age to yours. Have you found the Pokémon cards yet? Saw on TV yesterday a collection made £200 at auction.
