Checking in very quickly as it's been a long day. Decluttering finally made it back into my 3 things to do each day and I cleared out the cupboard under the stairs that I've been putting off for ages. DH has removed his box of "spare" shoes that are in my way and has temporarily placed them elsewhere. Not sure what he's going to be doing with those, but I'm sure they won't be leaving. If they aren't in my way, I don't care. I now have piles of things for the attic, for Buy Nothing and for charity. I've put everything on Buy Nothing already, but the other two things I will have to do on a weekday without kids "helping".Decluttering progress:Digital:

Blimey @Florenceem. Definitely a mental health emergency and just as valid for an ambulance. Try not to be embarrassed. Be proud of how you have kept all the balls in tha air as things have gone pear shaped. Big loving hugs to you, Mr F and the family.
Great work @charlies_tribe
So lovely to see all the sensitive and kind support for florenceem.
So today was spent at another petting farm with DiL, GS3 and DD. It was good actually but expensive.
Came home to a nap and roast dinner with parents in law DH had cooked. Lovely.
MiL and FiL sent home with 2 bags of goodies: 1 x in and out and one of stuff from out house.

@Florenceem - what an awful traumatic time you have had but please don’t feel embarrassed. Ambulances are often involved with mental health crises for very valid reasons. I hope that the mental health team will be having a good look at what has been going on for your husband and identify ways to help him. Thinking of you 💐
@charlies_tribe - amazing progress with the conservatory, well done!17 -
I’m still on the decluttering train but RL has got very much in the way the last few months. Have woken up this morning with renewed enthusiasm for actually doing something so maybe my mojo is back. Fantastic achievements from everyone on the train l really am in awe x.Count down to retirement 202318

Very busy here with not much time to write but @Florenceem my heart goes out to you and Mr F.I do so hope that you get some answers soon and Mr F can quickly make a full recovery.You too need to take time to recover - think about the aircraft instructions to put on your own oxygen mask before trying to help others.

Pottering along reading all your posts but have filled and donated a large black bag full of scarves, nighties and old tops..
Had a reverse non collection , went to pick something up and had been given duff info, on the way there I said to myself -why am I bothering do I really need this ? and hey ho the timewaster / ''insert other words of choice'' did me a favour
It wasn't out of my way as it was just a few hundred yards from the supermarket I was going to anyway.
Big hugs , thoughts and prayers to all as applicableSuccess is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.Thats what I keep telling myself :-)16
