2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

QueenJess

Already managed to declutter today's and tomorrow's allocations through finding things whilst tidying up and having a look through some of the shed (a bit more left to do, but I need DH for that as it's some of his stuff).  Need to continue planting up the wild flower patch as I will then have loads of pots to go (plus I really need to get it done now!).

15,199 - fridge overstock used up
15,200-15,208 - stickers not needed (Buy Nothing)
15,209 - bathroom supplies used up
15,210 - packaging (reused)
15,211 - freezer stuff used up
15,212-15,213 - plant feed (Buy Nothing)
15,214-15,216 - plant watering globes (Buy Nothing)
15,217 - watering can (Buy Nothing)
15,218 - kids stuff (recycled)

The tidying has been ongoing, but plenty left to do and I've not caught up with my 23 a day target yet.  I did 10 things in every single room yesterday and depressingly it looked exactly the same, so definitely a work in progress..  At least I feel a bit more under control.  Got all Wednesdays in June off with no kids, but I have a ton of frogs I have to tackle without kids including various health stuff for me.  This Wednesday we are viewing the closer nursery to us to see if we want to switch DD to there (we have a place from September, but haven't seen it for years).  Will think about whether I can squeeze in any of the other frogs into that day.

House cleaned, stock made, half of the indoor seed sowing stuff put away and half the laundry done 🙌 

Thinking of you @Mrs SD - hope it all goes well

Roll of wrapping paper taken back upstairs and stored with stash.

Hair straighteners (still in box, never used) - brought down from RoD2 to take to colleague tomorrow. 

I've bought myself a present 🎁. A Fl@sh Speed Mop. 😊. The thing is: once you have floor it has to be cleaned. Who knew 🤷‍♀️🤣

Oven cleaning man has been - he also cleaned my dishwasher and washing machine.
Spoke to Mr F - very different from yesterday - a nurse made him get dressed - first time for 8 weeks - he said that she bullied him. He was very down - sometimes I think he will come home and other times - can't see it.

MrsSD thinking of you and your family today, hope all goes as well as it can x
Well I decluttered another birthday yesterday 😲 where is all the time going ? I have recycled all the wrapping paper and envelopes, my flowers filled 2 vases as it was a huge bouquet of roses and the cut offs from the stems have been put in the green waste . We finished the last of my cake today after lunch so the box is in the cardboard recycling as is the packaging from my presents.
I have put the spare bedroom back to normal again and I have stripped the bed but as it's not very sunny I'll wait before I wash the bedding. DGS stayed overnight on Sat and lots of food has been eaten, mind you at 6ft at the age of 13 he has a lot of himself to fill 😂
During my "butterfly" tidying session this morning I flitted between the bedrooms via the office and I found a new pair of curtain liners dumped on a chair, they are too long but the cardboard and packaging has been binned, so now I have to take them up and use them ! I found homes for more jigsaws and in turn put 2 novels (read) and a hardback book that I have tried to read several times but failed, in the cs bag. I have packed up some winter PJ's and put them away after leaving them draped over a chair for weeks and wondering were on earth they could go 🤔
This morning we have spent quite a bit of money ordering new front and back disc brakes for the car. DH will replace them with the help of his friend as he's no longer well enough to do it alone 😕 I am trying to remove read emails every other day and today there were 37.
Take care all, hugs to the poorly ones or those struggling.

@florenceem it was probably more like firm encouragement than bullying - the idea at a rehab unit is to get folk back on their feet & fit to come home, and being in PJs isn't part of that. Good that your oven etc are now sparkling - was it a local firm?

Floss - chap was local but I think the company covers a wide area.
I have just spoken to Mr F who is fretting about how he spoke to the nurse - I told him to get over it and to cheer up.
I phoned the hospital and they told me that Mr F has been seen by a Dr - different to what he told me. They haven't given him a discharge date but the nurse told me - I am not going to tell him.
 Also got told - it is noted how far from home he is and if a bed becomes available nearer to home - he will be moved.
He was taken in a wheelchair to the gym today to do some walking between bars.
I have 3 bags of stuff ready for the charity shop - I am sorting out the airing cupboard.

Ah that's all good news from the hospital then, especially if MrF can be moved closer to home.

I've just spent an hour tidying the shed - using the plastic 4-drawer unit that came out from the Harry Potter cupboard (under the stairs!). Decluttered a lot of webs and a few spiders, along with a bag of assorted carp which has been sorted into the relevant bins. Everything is nicely visible now, with just the box of citronella candles to go back in when they've been sorted & wiped free of  grime.

I also went to choose a new smartwatch, as mine had developed a fault & was deemed unrepairable. According to Fossil it was still under warranty, so I now have a shiny new one 😊

Hello! First day new job went very well!!!! I am worn out though and was a little dizzy earlier so having hoovered downstairs, washed floor, fed dogs, cleared up after dogs, done dishes and put washing on - I am now in bed with the fan going full throttle. Sent hubby shopping so no idea what he will come home with 🤣
in the office tomorrow so will have to phone dr and my cancer team Wed about test results and more prescriptions. I just want some more energy can cope with everything else.
MrsSd hope today went ok.
Mrs F hope Mr F is a bit happier tomorrow- I think you should have a long soak in that nice clean bathroom of yours now!
