2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Vascodakarma

Firstborn is 30 today. His beautiful fiance has a table booked at his favourite restaurant at the Royal William yard in Plymouth. 

What he doesn’t know is that I’m already sat at the table waiting for them 😂😂 One of the ‘youngers’ is on the way from Brizzle but sadly my daughter has Covid and she, and the grandchildren can’t join us.

@balabooberlies I emphasise with your frog with Experian.
 If you have an idea of where you are at that's ok. It will clear your mind of uncertaintity and you will know exactly where you are and what you can do about it. There will only be 1 way to go whatever the result is. Good luck x

Thankyou @Mrs_Salad_Dodger May I be the first to award you a 🏅for your awsome handling of this thread which is going apace this month and the amazing amount of encouragement and support you give. 

@Suffolksue; Don't stress. We all have good days and weeks. More importantly we each have our own pace. I am very slow when sorting so in my head it will all be done tomorrow and then it takes a month. Don't kick yourself. Celebrate the bits you have achieved so far. Each one is a blessing

Well done on the study @GrannyKate

Well done on the cupboard of doom @vulpix   Take care of yourself!

Big hugs and positive vibes to all who need them 

So dropping by to report a bag to the CS yesterday and 2 more blankets finished so pleased.

I have been pacing a bit as I get tired easily. This week I separated out bigger days like going into town with resting and doing small amounts. This seems to be working although I hate it. It feels like giving in but in my heart I know its taking control. I used to love living the laissaffair life but it really is no good with clutter, children and housework. I have had to accept some structure, routine and general thinking about what I am doing is self care and as important as anything else in my life if not more so

Sunny today so going to the plot now for an hour .

I'm just about to spend an hour potting up some tulip bulbs I found in the shed. 

Mrs SD we used a propergator last year to start the seeds off but a warm room/ window sill will do. Key is to start them early. My house was overrun with chilli's and other plants until it was warm enough to put them outside. We don't have a greenhouse or polythene.

Christmas cards recycled - except for cards from Pops and from DS....they are filed, and last year's have been recycled. Just my little scheme so I always have the last card sent to me by my nearest and dearest. Mum's last card remains safely filed.

December bank statement checked and filed with receipts, December 2020's placed in shredding pile. A 10 minute job while the pots were soaking.

Glass jars soaking ready to be rinsed and recycled. 

Every little helps.

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

My solution to getting a gold star in the signature setting hasn’t worked ☹️ 

Sunday is a bright but chilly day. I have managed to catch up on yesterday’s tasks 🙂 DH & DSis are both still in their respective beds. 

Straight into cheerleading & hoping I have enough charge 🤞

Yah boo to losing a post Happy_Kitties 😒 Great decluttering work 👏 You can always add to your numbers whenever you remember 🙂

Baxtersmum, what a great way to look at +2lbs 😉 Also a very sensible approach to dieting 👏 Good luck 🍀 

Good decluttering villagelife 👏 Fingers crossed that DH has a very mild case 🤞

roundtuit thank you for sharing 👏 and more importantly well done on acknowledging the good work you have done so far 🙂👏

Welcome aboard The EDT Clutterbug07 👋 Congratulations on your recent marriage & you will get used to saying husband - especially if he annoys you 😉😉🙃 Must be very exciting planning to move home & now is the perfect time to declutter 🙂 You only want to take the things you need & love 🙂 as then you will have the joy of hunting out items to make your new house into a home 👏🙂 without the attendant clutter 😉 Good luck on your decluttering journey 🍀

vulpix thank you for giving me permission to tackle one goal at a time 👏🙂 but I think I need to combine the dieting with the exercise 🤔 so I need to start going for a walk each day & eat regularly - breakfast, lunch & dinner (currently all day snacks & dinner 😔)  Sorry that you are feeling worse ☹️ - a day of sewing & taking it easy is definitely the way to go 🙂

Excellent work AnimalTribe 👏 decluttering & filling the coffers 🙂

Oops - no charge 😬 Will be back later 🙂

Hi MrsSD. This train is moving way too fast for me Feel like one of the mail bags on the Night Train film 

2 major frogs dealt with today. The box in the barn which the rats had got in emptied, cleaned and repaired. 2 black bags of spoilt things binned.
Box file with all the ood insurances cleared and shredded. Good stuff rehomed .

All the usual daily stuff dealt with.

Dieting and exercising I can do that in pain. I'm in that carriage.

Out today a duster with more holes than a colander and a pair of DH's joggers, which are no longer fit for any purpose. Also out a large coffee jar, plastic milk carton, a tissue box and an empty roll on deodorant. The bed has been changed and the bedding washed along with another clothes load, whey hey !! an empty washing basket !! Sadly no chance of outdoor drying as it hasn't got above 4 degrees 🥶 Some LO turkey from the freezer was used up yesterday in a stir fry and the last of it will go today in a turkey, cheese and black pudding wrapped with bacon dish 😋 I'm trying to use up the bits and bobs from rather full freezers but it doesn't help when I added a portion of LO stir fry back in them yesterday, so still no room at the inn so to speak.
In good news though I received 2 letters from the hospital yesterday, one to make an appointment for my cat scan and the other telling me that the neurologist team are on the case and are waiting for the scan results so that they can make a judgement as to whether I need to be seen asap or put on the waiting list. I take that to mean that no news will be good news. 
Take care all.
