2022 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

SeekingFlight

That's it all the Christmas presents are out of my house and delivered. I also found a home for 2 large bags of sawdust that are now surplus to requirements. 

thriftwizard

Managed to get into the porch & remove the big tin trunk & its contents today. Most of the contents have gone straight into a bin-bag & will be off to the Tip ASAP, but a few particularly nice bits - complete with happy memories - will be washed & popped into the "Granny Box" for future reference. The trunk itself is actually far too big for what I thought I could use it for, so I've listed it on FB Marketplace at what I know to be a low price for something of that sort; at the end of the day, if it hasn't sold in a couple of days, I'll Freecycle it. If I do sell it, the money will be spent on a similar but smaller version from the recycling warehouse; they always have plenty of them.

You can actually see the porch floor in places now...

Spent most of the day cleaning the lodger room which has been empty since my last (lovely) one left before Xmas. New one arriving tomorrow, this ones a friend of a friend and only wants to  be here for a few weeks which should be OK. The room was fine really but I've slipped back into using it to dump stuff so gave it a good turn out ready. I prefer being on my own really but the money's handy. Anyway decluttering wise I cleared a box of empty jars which Id been hoping to use for something or other but they're in the recycling bin now as I got tired of looking at them. I think thats enough for today. 14 items so far this year.

One set of bowls  sold after long time listing things on fleabay last weekend,  never sure if efforts are worth it. Happy for clothes to go to.CS and itching to do that yesterday.  Pink storage box into CS and another item I've forgotten. 
I maybe the only one bringing stuff in but have found 2 fab thin ladderback chairs which need seats making ( have fabric and will go back to my upholstery classes ,- 18 years later, and at my dads , great CSs  bought 2 brand new scarves and some cards formbdaus pressies. Looking out stuff at his for CS. 
Do have list of things to get rid of at home so hopefully 2 out 1 in the house.

Third task done - tested eggs - the foxes get 4 & I hard boiled 7 & made egg mayonnaise sandwich filler. The risotto cakes & fried chicken were delicious - clean plates from DH & DSis.

Personal MOT day EnergyShifter - love it 😊 & you managed to do some decluttering 👏 Please do your accounts 🙏 don’t they have to be sent by 31st of the month?

TC77 sorry to hear that your tax bill is high ☹️ Great work on finding someone to take the office chair arms 👏

2Scratters you can make good use of The TLC Carriage - it’s restorative powers are legendary 🙂 I also loved TC77’s little sachets of TLC ☺️ Well done DH for getting freezer contents down 👏 but he is obviously more suited as a chef than a gardener 😉

Quite agree -taff dealing with paperwork can be disheartening so sorting out other decluttering that gives OWD_nana a boost is the way to go 👏 Excellent decluttering of cleaning tasks -taff 👏

TC77 what is ‘spring cleaning’? 🙃

What an excellent result weenancyinAmerica 👏

Floss, loving the side discussion about cats & nets ☺️ Sounds like a potential song title 😉

Steady decluttering TC77 👏

GrannyKate thank you for reminding everyone that The TLC Carriage is the place to go when feeling a bit disheartened 👏 It sounds like you are well on the way to maintenance decluttering & decluttering is now an ingrained habit 👏 Great idea to put an item in its proper home but also taking the opportunity to find something else to declutter - medal 🏅 on its way 🙂 Great decluttering & well done on dealing with tadpoles 👏 Hope you have a lovely time with the little ones & enjoy your Sunday lunch - always tastier when someone else cooks 😉 What a fortunate position to be in - driving past the Tip & having nothing to drop off 😉

Yippee EnergyShifter 🥳 tax return done & tax paid I.e. huge frog dealt with 👏 & a medal 🏅 on its way. Surprised you didn’t get DS out of bed as you were on a roll 😉 Your enthusiasm for decluttering won’t wane as you are now a successful declutterer 😉 & will want more of that glow of success 😊

bit_by_bit, I hope you were well catered for in The TLC Carriage? Excellent work on finding suitable storage solution for gift wrap + you can see floor 👏🙂

roundtuit, nobody falls off The EDT 😉 they just hide in the baggage car when RL hinders them in their mission to declutter 😉 You are doing really well as you are setting good habits 👏 I love MAD 😊

princesskitty29, sorry to hear you are feeling so down ☹️ I think we get excited & make our plans which are then disrupted so we feel down. However you have a lot to look forward to - puppy walks & opportunities to train her & meet other dog owners 🙂 In the meantime I am sending hugs 🤗 & do pop into The TLC Carriage for a cheeky glass of wine 😉

Ooh marrob - home made scones & jam 😋 I will be around later 😉 Nothing boring about getting your office sorted out, marrob - a nicer work environment will make you feel happier in yourself 🙂 Excellent decluttering especially the 0.5lb - still heading in the right direction 👏

florianatwobob what a lovely post for princesskitty29 😊 Excellent decluttering & repurposing 👏

Baxtersmum, thank you for the very handy tip re money off coupons 👏

shabbychic12, surprising how invigorating it is to help someone else with their decluttering - makes you feel good & hopefully your daughter is incentivised to carry on with her decluttering 🙂👏

@Mrs_Salad_Dodger I think the EDT has those inflatable cushions that are put in bowling alley gutters as a safety feature so nobody can fall off 😁
