2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Florenceem

kboss210 - my cooker hood is ducted so no replaceable filters. Carbon filters are used when the hood is just an internal sort.
Up at 5 today - want to get some jobs done before I visit Mr F.
Washing is on and I have some ironing to do.

I have been reading along but nothing to post.  Rhubarb crumble was gone very fast Mrs SD but there are some brownies left.  

854 Meeting decluttered
855 Ten bits put away
856 Got to  Z in family history review - now going back over it to add some in and do more checks.  

DGS4 has gone off with a pack up for a school trip today.  They really missed out on trips doing covid.  I had another strange text from opticians saying part 1 of 2 of my order was in but only one thing ordered? I guess I can go over there and do a few other jobs as well.  No meetings next 2 days but history group on Saturday am.

@Florenceem the before photos don't even look that dirty to me..  Maybe I have low standards?!

My thoughts too! I won't share a photo of my hob

Photos of my dirty oven door and after - now you can see the clutter in my kitchen.

Before photo of my filthy oven.

After - I can't get a decent photo - there is brown shading which isn't in my oven. Plus I can see through the glass now.

@QueenJess don't pressure yourself - stick with your target 10 and let the rest go with the flow of the mo   
Looking about here in the back bedroom that is anything but and has been for at least 3 years now there is a visible lack of objects. I have moved stuff (not been in the loft recently so they are not up there) and can't even remember what was there, what does that say about it?
The floor is a little tidier as I know there are 3 carrier bags that have left the house and are in my car 2 to be dropped off at the CS the other to a friends vintage shop (might do a trade off when we go)

We have decided to amend the plans for the extension so some more money decluttered there again.

DD1 (14) decided she wanted to have a little more money than she has right now, so she asked if she could sell some clothes on Vinted. She discussed with her little sister (12) which items little sis was definitely never going to wear, and now 4 items are on Vinted. DD2 then asked if she could sell the 2 pairs of heelys and a pair of roller skates, so those are now on a Belgian secondhand marketplace website. She then added a pair of new moonboots that they never wore. We'll see.

DD1 has a small table in her room, which becomes the place she and I put everything we can't find an immediate place for. She has decided that the table needs to go! I'm so proud!!

I removed 1 plastic box from storage, dusted it and its contents, the moonboots are now up for sale, and the box is in the attic with dd1's old schoolwork (by law, they have to keep it a few years).

Good morning. 

 Hello watty1👋

 epic day yesterday. The queues to drop off at the download festival were massive,though I must say very well organised. Hard luck if you were trying to get to East Midlands airport in a hurry though. 

 Mrs SD the planes in The Shetland Islands are reliably due to change! The ferries are also very weather dependent. Fingers crossed that our flights are reliable when we go in a few weeks. That being bit by bit and myself. Dd1 and I were discussing what to do on our long car journey yesterday. I really want to visit a lady DD1 knows who has knitted her own garden fence! Google knitted fence in Shetland. It will also be pride that weekend and we need to show bbb some of the amazing scenery too. 

 We are off to North Wales in a bit. Making the most of the weather as Mr V works weekends. A day at home tomorrow. The house is a bomb site after our visitors, can’t be helped in such a tiny house. 

 Gotta go, Mr V chomping at the bit.

I just g00gled the knitted fence and it's absolutely stunning! I'm not a knitter, but am a decent hand at macramé, so maybe I can make something similar for a feature in my backyard.

@Mrs_Salad_Dodger  you did make me laugh with the decluttering an ex.  It took some doing and was only done with the help of a judge and an occupation order despite the ex being represented by a barrister I managed on my own. That will be my achievement of the year.

Yesterday decluttered a large pile of papers from one draw of the filing cupboard. A box has to remain under the desk until the ex finally settles but they are out of sight and there is an impressive amount of room in drawer now!
