2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

EnergyShifter

Over 100 posts since I last posted on Sunday !!!  I am not doing a good job of staying on this train!

Successfully completed my first week back at work!   Yesterday I went to a Wedding - the one I was trying to figure out what to wear for.  Turns out we were only invited to the Church so I am pleased that I didn't splash out on a new dress!  I did have a lovely time though - it was a beautiful ceremony and my friend and I went out for a drink & something to eat after.  

This morning I had some calls to make & I took 4 dresses back to various shops - 2 more to be posted back when I get the chance ! 

I've got a quiet weekend planned which feels just what I need! 

Tasks:

Dresses back to shop

CBT session (going well 🙏)

Exporting file from Google Drive of business email I'm giving up.

Induction conversation for my new voluntary role as PCC Secretary

@Floss your garden looks lovely.  I really like the curved borders and the lovely stones.  The cat is obviously enjoying it too!

I finished DD's memory box.  They both look amazing and didn't cost much at all.  I decided that rather than putting them in the empty cupboard (it's hard to get to as it's behind a chair), I wanted to put it in a more accessible one in the library.  However, there isn't enough room in there, so it is getting an impromptu clear out.  There is stuff in there that I had completely forgotten about!  Suffice to say I think there will be lots disappearing from there soon.  Might take me a while to work through it as some stuff has more memories attached than others and I'm trying to work out if I will look at any of this stuff and what is more worthwhile than others.

I took everything out and put the memory boxes in.  Now just need to work out what should go back in there..  Tons just recycled though, so way over 16,000 items now!

15,934-15,939 - greetings cards recycled
15,940-15,944 - photo frames (Buy Nothing)

15,945-16,508 - paper (old notes from over 15 years ago - recycled)

Sucked in by cat and garden pics. ❤️

 on the way to Nottingham to scatter MIL’s ashes. 

 We went to a comedy night last night in Eyam. The drive home was beautiful. Red , red sky. Still light at midnight. I know you like to look places up Mrs SD, Eyam has an interesting history.

 Mr V tried all his hanging clothes on. A few more things to go. 

 Not caught up, this train is a runaway.

Floss your garden is Beautiful- I love curves too.
washing has just finished but it can wait for a bit while I have a small break. Just come back from getting some bits and pieces and the car washed as it was truly disgusting!!!!!!! Am now parked nowhere near a tree or bushes so no bird poop or sap. It was def minging……😳

Feeling really tired today after the long journeys to and fro visiting Mr F.
DGd has been to see me - she got her results yesterday - a First.
Just going to enjoy a bowl of ice cream.

Florenceem - that’s a very smart garage door and I am very impressed with your 7am window cleaning!
Floss - your garden is beautiful and looks like a lovely place for cats and people to enjoy the good weather. 

Another full bag for life is ready for the charity shop. It used to take me weeks to fill one up - now just a couple of days! I have gone through the two vegetable drawers in the fridge and unfortunately there had to be some chuckouts. Still, the rest is orderly and will get used. This happens if I am not well for a few days, as the other household residents won’t cook and use up the vegetables that need it. I am trying not to feel too guilty about it.

QueenJess - you inspired me to tackle some of the things that had crept in and disturbed the previous good order that I had created in the bedroom. I felt much better afterwards. It’s a good reminder for me about the importance of keeping going around again. 
Loving all the tw words and indeed my friends and I did use twirly as school girls!

That cat deserves to be shown twice!!!!

@vulpix
yours is lovely too but looks like it's trying to avoid the sun IMHO!!!

@Florenceem
so glad you've got physios coming to check out what needed at home.  take as much as they offer as you can - easier to get rid than to try to get something later.  but be firm if they suggest something way over the top....for MiL they wanted us to lose most of our driveway to put in a ramp that she might be able to walk up - when she wasn't able to walk anywhere like the distance required.  

@Liverpool_Anne
Dare I ask where in Dorset??  Just in case I see any odd dog walkers going by one day.....
