2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

TC77

DD1 just rang to ask if I have a clothes rail! I used to have several and now only 1 which I use as my awkward small built in wardrobe in my bedroom. Although I use wardrobe in another room. Debating if I give to her and it makes me sort things out. Will when declutter llbs but not looking likely as eaten the left over trick or treat sweets! Love the pumpkins @MrsSD.

End of the week round up: 
4413: cleared leaflets from the communal hallway to the paper recycling
4414-4428: items to recycling
4429-4484: items to bin
4485-4489: 5 small bags of rubbish and 2 lots of recycling to the outside bins.
4490-4491: 100 emails deleted
4492-4517: a whopping 26 GB of data deleted: even if I haven't been in the mood for much else, I've managed to watch some television.
Had a discussion with "The Management" about a few things and will be working less hours and concentrating on the shorter shifts. (You know what they say: you can't change the people you're with, but you can change the people you're with.) With that in mind, have jettisoned one weekend away so I'm not dipping into savings to pay for it! 
OK, bus to Bath tomorrow so better get packing as 10 am departure.

Keep up the good work QueenJess 👏 Well done for continuing to declutter, tidy & clean whilst doing a full time job 👏

I think the beetle would have had me running for the hills, vulpix 😱 Hope the black trousers fit 🤞So a reminder - doctor, Covid booster & MATCHES 😊

Fingers crossed that you find the time for the flu & Covid jabs, TC77 🤞The mending & sewing days sound wonderful & now we can come to you for hints & tips 😉 Imagining decluttering is a great way to prime yourself for actual decluttering 👏

Floss I am in full agreement with “ roundtuit that shows your selection skills are more refined 😁 Am looking forward to today's instalments of your journey through the RoD 😊”

GrannyKate, pleased to see that I am not the only one enjoying roundtuit’s RofD clearance 🙂 Good decluttering 👏

roundtuit, You are definitely winning in your quest to clear the RofD 👏 I don’t think you really believed that you would be able to move around & now you KNOW that you will be successful 😊 Another bag/box cleared 👏 Well done on maintaining your 50/50 split re books 👏

Hope you have a lovely holiday bit_by_bit 😊 Sun, sea & sand?

Me too Floss 😉

Now, now QueenJess 😉

Nice to see you Blackberrycurved 👋 Sorry to hear RL has been harsh 🙁 but now you are back & just have to restart - one bit of clutter at a time 🙂

Great work re the guitars, roundtuit 👏 I had to look up Goldberg belt 😉 Excellent decluttering 👏 Yippee for tinky winky 🥳 Good luck with the lever arch file 🍀

Excellent decluttering Catsacor 👏 Lovely way to describe decluttering as being liberating 😊

Sorry short_bird 😔 meant pheasant & rabbit 😉 I think peasants might be a little tough 😂

Great comment Siebrie 🙂 Wow that is a lot of big items leaving your home 🤩👏 Very generous of you to send to Africa 😇

Morning all xx 

Holey Moley - everywhere I look in this house there is stuff! So much stuff. I guess I have to concentrate on the fact that there is now floor in every room, and keep chipping away. And the H/S/L are completely clear. Maybe I should sit on the stairs? Call me Kermit 🤣 Or was it Robin? Kermit's nephew? 🤷‍♀️

I decided to bring down a bag of books from RoD to go through while I supped my brew. The bag split!!! So I've piled the books on the landing (so it's not actually clear at this very minute, but it will be), placed an errant Knight in the bag of knights, and binned a tatty bag, a small piece of wrapping paper, and a metal 'dunno what this is'.

Came down and lo, a charity bag had been pushed through the letter box. I'm having my brew, then I'll bring down the books in my new bag. It's a sign. Carry on. You're doing a good job. Said the Universe. Thank you sez I 😊

I wonder if DS wants that bag of not-actually Scalextric track and doings that's in RoD. I'll ask. If not it's going in the bin.

I'm already looking forward to Wednesday, when I can visit the recycling park in the next village without an appointment and can get rid of so many bits and pieces. They are in paper bags and small boxes at the moment, you know: Twinings tin wirh old nails and metal-odd-bits, cardboard cube with dead batteries, 2 pieces of styrofoam, old laminate, etc. These can all be brought in free of charge.

Hi, I know the year is nearly over but can I please join? I have a LOT of stuff to get rid of so that I can make more space and enjoy my surroundings more. 

I am bit confused what the 🏅 and coins are for?

 Hi BBC , Nice to see you back.

 Thank you for the reminder to eat frogs Mrs SD. Matches bought. New GP phoned,explained the optometrist recommended I see a GP, first come first served 8am Monday morning.  Covid jab at a walk in clinic 7.5 miles away. I can cope with that,all others previously have been a 50 mile round trip. We will go later today. We are going out for a meal tonight but I don't expect to feel rough as we have been ok with previous vaccinations. I could end up eating my words there!

 How satisfying to get rid of so much in one go siebrie.

 New battery added to the smoke alarm.

 Nothing more strenuous than having a bath today, I can feel that I am not well.

Medals = a job particularly well done

coins? - maybe smiley faces?

@grandmanerd what a great idea for planters, the incinerator bins, all ready pre-drilled

I've put out the recycling, decanted bird seed into its container and binned the  bag,  replenished the sugar jar and binned the bag, and binned an ood tub of gravy granules. 
Broken coat hanger - binned.

Baby steps in the kitchen. 😊

I've had a 'me' morning. Had a shower, washed my hair, put towels and clothes in the laundry hamper,  clean clothes on, clean towels in bathroom. Opened the windows a touch in the bathroom and my bedroom - to get some air through the place.

And I've been reading a magazine which will be recycled when finished. 

Well I am on holiday 😉
