2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

roundtuit

While I was upstairs I took Action Man from RoD and put him in the bag with his mates, his jeep and, if I remember correctly,  his motorbike, in RoD2.

Brought down a handful of bits and bobs to sort from RoD.

The books I'm keeping have been living on the coffee table but they are now on a shelf in the wall unit as the notebooks that I'm keeping fit in the cupboard that I just about emptied. Are you still with me? 😊

I don't remember who said their decluttering was inconsistent and haphazard but I'm right there with you sister. It all needs doing so does it matter if it's not methodical! My brain is screaming 'YES' 😱  Shut up brain....go to sleep until all the 'dots' join up....which they will....eventually!

I've put out the recycling. Ooops is that an empty Selection Box? 😳.  Whistling nonchalantly and sidling out of the room.....

Fantastic dolls house @Siebrie. Your dad was very talented 

Well said @daisy_1571

Big hugs @EnergyShifter

The weather has been awful here over the last few days. 100% rain yesterday. Managed to meet with some friends for lunch and tea. DH was away all day at a rare meeting in Birmingham so I had the house to myself.

In between going out I vacuumed and mopped the floors over the whole of the downstairs and the bathrooms got a mop too. Also cleared the floor in my bedroom and vacuumed. Located the Christmas bags, cards and wrapping that I put store under the bed as I need it before the Xmas decs which are in the loft. MiL wanted some wrapping so I took that round. 

While it isn't raining I am going to nip over the allotment as I haven't been there since before my hols. Even if I get half an hour of weeding or planting done that will be good. 

Lots of small jobs for today and I hope a bag to the CS. 

have a good sday all and big hugss to all who need them

There are 5 cases of singles sat in the living room - and I'm keeping them - but they can be relocated to a RoD for now. 

Definitely not in the loft!! 
Dear All: keeping records in the loft is generally not a good move unless it stays the same temperature and humidity all year. The heat warps the records and the humidity will ruin the sleeves. So, if they're your nest egg, get them in a room with fairly consistent temperature. Rant over!

@short_bird - not in the loft. In a bedroom aka RoD2, and not close to the radiator! Thank you though xx

4 crayons - put in pencil case

Unused present label - in envelope like with like

That's the gubbins brought down from RoD sorted.

There's a box now empty of cans of pop in the kitchen, that can be torn up and recycled too

Third pile of books that were in LR floor sorted:

8 books - cs

Just a little concerning that the bottom book in the pile smells a bit damp 🤔 I've felt the laminate floor where the book was sat but it's dry. 

I've noticed there's a pile of books on a kitchen chair so I'll go through that next.

Second box of singles taken upstairs - it contained ABBA to Commodores. First box that went up contained Lesley Gore to Keith Michell....and I now have Captain Beaky going round my head 🤣

I brought down 2 cardboard wallets from RoD. First one is empty - to take to work (I'm going to need an artic to take everything to work at this rate 😅)

Second wallet - contents removed. 

Ha! So that's where all my exam certificates were: O levels, A levels, GCSEs. Together with an ancient CV (before DS was born) and a reference from 1986. Keeping them. Wallet can go to work.
