2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Florenceem

Up at 6.30 - waiting for a message about the parcel of fabric that I missed on Friday.
Washing machine and dishwasher on.
Haven't had a day at home for 8 days so may do that today - was planning to shop but think that can wait until tomorrow - will chat to Mr F about it when he finally comes downstairs - he is getting better about early starts but still a plodder in the mornings as opposed to me - who is up and on with things.
Putting photo of yesterday's stockings on - fleece cuffs were from a child's dressing gown bought for £1 in a charity shop.

Morning everyone. Decluttering seems to have stalled. I know I need to do it but where to start (everywhere needs a call). 
On a positive note I walked 4 miles on Saturday and 5 weeks post leg muscle tear it held up pretty well. I lost 3 lbs at SW, rejoined to stay accountable. 
OH decluttered all the ironing pile yesterday, took all day, just not enough room in the wardrobe now for it all. 😑

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks to include MMiM - do this before I go to bed

2. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ I have an acronym - I.R.I.S. being Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off 

3. Implement a new sleep/wake up regime - start going to bed earlier (target before 2:00 a.m.) get up earlier (target by 9:00 a.m.)

4. Deal with ‘Urgent’ daily mail immediately & the rest at the weekend

5. Don’t put it down, put it away

6. If I spot a mini task deal with it immediately e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc

7. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed

Good morning on what is looking like a fairly bright Monday 🤞 I had a very restless night - up every 1.5 to 2 hours from 23:30 to 07:50. Both of us up, washed & dressed by 08:45. DH is suffering a bit with his leg/knee but has taken some Ibuprofen, has his compression socks on & has moved around a bit so the leg is feeling a bit better 😮‍💨 Breakfast at 09:00, then we will pack the bike & should set off about 10:00

Next time I post will be from home 😊 Hope everyone has a good Monday 🙂

Hope you have a lovely journey back Mrs SD!
I have visited the tip today for general waste, wood and electrical recycling. Got a load of stuff for the cs to take this afternoon and 2 bags for the food bank. 
Trying to get as much done as possible this week as dds finish school on Friday. Yesterday wasn't a day off at all ended up separating dds bunk beds into 2 singles on opposite sides of the room as they were both winding each other up by being so close together. Also popped to the shop for more undies as 2nd dd is leaving it too late to get to the toilet (deliberately.... I think she likes the edhe of the seat excitement as to whether she will get there in time or not 🙄) Put a couple of things on v!nted and one sold straightaway so I posted that yesterday too.  Got more sorting out to do today and want to clean fridge etc as doing food shop on weds.

Just really upset myself looking at my email inbox, I have 30000 emails to go through!!!

still waiting for outcome of latest hospital appointments, I have a very sore shoulder where they did the procedure a couple of weeks ago, and the main issue (unconnected with shoulder) is still unresolved. The third thing has now been kicked into November so not too worried about that one. Why do these things come in 3s I wonder, I can go for years without bothering doctors then it all hits at once. 

I'm not coping well with the waiting, though morbidly it helps me get on with the decluttering  Sold 3 items on eBay, one is huge so glad to see the back of that. £45 in

Still wading through photos.  It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster really.  It's reminded me of all the stuff we used to do and that I actually did stuff just for me and looked after myself properly.  I need to get some of that back somehow.

Anyway, still 11,000 odd photos to wade through just on the laptop.  I did come across a beautiful photo that I took years ago... this is one I would like to look at and not have hidden within thousands of other photos. 

I am sticking relatively closely to the 20% remaining rule, so should be another 8,000 photos to delete!!!  Will be doing loads more this evening in front of the TV.

Digital:
29,137-29,377 - photos/videos deleted
29,378-29,403 - wish list items deleted

@QueenJess gorgeous pic. Totally agree about remembering to look after ourselves and do things just for us rather than everyone else.

That is a lovely picture. 🤩Where was it taken?

I'm just onto tidying the last kitchen cupboard. Glasses and cups.

@Wednesday2000 it's Poole harbour.  No need to go abroad for lovely scenery

Oh! Thought it looked a bit familiar!!  Used to look out at the harbour every day at work until a year back!!  And loved the view of the daffs  down the centre bit of the road going around it in the springtime!! Missed that this year!!!
