2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Florenceem

I followed the help from QueenJess but still not receiving from MSE. Mr F did a C Cleaner clean up of my computer - before this happened!
Popped to SA yesterday morning then we did a 5 hour bus journey to and from Mr F's Dentist.
Only decluttering was removing bookmarks on mse.

That’s odd. Did you check your spam folder?

I'm on a HP laptop and working my way through the new layout. I ain't no techie ladies lets be clear about that and my next comment might show, I always wondered why there was not a quick way of getting back to the top if needed. Now I have spotted a back to top button. Was it there before and I just never noticed?

This was in the feedback thread and so was something they’ve just added to address it.

As I was going through more photos last night, I realised that even if I went through 200 photos a day (which is a lot), it would take more more than 2 months to work through them all 😱 This will definitely be a labour of love…
I was going to buy a digital photo frame at the end of it so I could actually enjoy them all, when DH made a comment about turning an old iPad into one. I realised I have a very ancient mini iPad my parents gave me and had been sitting around without any purpose to it. I will try and get that up and running and will use that instead, so no money needs to be spent there. Just need to get through all the photos 😬
Tidying and photo decluttering are on the cards for today. Reporting my new numbers from last night:

Digital:

28,372-28,725 - photos/videos deleted

28,726-28,825 - wish list items deleted

Physical:

28,826 - cuddly toy (charity bag)

28,827-28,828 - kids artwork (recycled)

28,829-28,839 - random stuff cleared from DS’s bag (recycled/binned)

Just a quick post so I don't forget later @~FlowerPot~ we have had to home Ed DD2 and she's going to start some iGCSEs with the £2 tuition hub on FB. Their website is down at the minute as she's updating the subjects for September but it took us over a week to be accepted in to the group. We haven't tried any of the lessons yet but might be worth a look at for you.

Only lots of money decluttered here yesterday. Holiday booked and I bought a Ninja in the prime deals.

thank you so much i will take a look x

It was my mums birthday yesterday and I did a very MSE thing! I never know what to get people. I refuse to buy stuff just for the sake of it, its usualy food/ flowers/ plants or a trip out. Plus who wants more clutter!!!

So i made up a voucher for an art workshop with the artist (me!!!) and made it look fancy with a choice of arty activities and a lunch and tea and cakes!~ She loved it. Now just need to book her in for a day!! Cost will only be foody bits as I have a huge amount of art supplies win win!!

Today is going to be a home slow and calm day, been a stressy week.

Hope eveyone has a lovely weekend

I had a dream last night that I was decluttering lots of clothes, mostly green tops! Very weird. I did just sort through  and declutter my wardrobes again last week, but I don't wear much green!

I might have had strange dreams as I had another session of reflexology yesterday. I did sleep very soundly last night, although I did hear the strong winds rattling the door a few times.

I haven't got much on today, just laundry and more TV. I'm at a point now where I'm not sure what "needs" decluttering.

QueenJess - yes not in spam. I am receiving emails from elsewhere just not from mse.
Been out shopping - really windy here.

QJ, I made "your" icecream last night - it was SO easy, thanks for sharing the recipe!

What ice cream?  Did I miss something essential???  (well obviously I must have.....)

Turns out OH did NOT declutter his shirts.  Found them hanging in the downstairs room of doom (easy to spot - about 10 on one hanger) so have now bagged them up and at the door ready to go into my car.  Bag had a couple of scarves I have decided will never get worn (as opposed to the ones I pull out to admire and then put back due to a colour mismatch or a worry about spilling on something much too precious).

I'm doing a semi declutter of a cat basket - it's needed by a work colleague to rehome 2 cats so will be gone for a while but will return eventually.  Hopefully not ( ) with a new resident inside.

That's a great idea!!  Talking about art is one of the few things my mom can do now without losing track of the conversation so it's always a topic for our weekly zooms where I show her what I've done in a recent class or stuff I've been trying.  Just had to order a new set of paints (don't tell any of the declutterers....) as I left my set with her last year when I was visiting.
