Love the japanese garden, I'm assuming you're not in Japan so interested to know where it is.
Posting pics of items on my whatsapp group with DD1 and DD2 so can then pass on. Why do I have 5 nit combs?
never going to have long hair again so if they don't want hair accessories will go.
cuticle remover out (must be 15 years old at least).
Email frog 1239
hoping to report lots more, awaiting delivery for DD1 which I then have to take round (don't deliver to her area) and will take dehumidifer and crockery as she now has a dishwasher.15 -

Decluttered lots of weeds into the garden waste bin before the bin collection today. The front garden was looking like a jungle!Have also decluttered some of the white space on the cap badge cross stitch.
The reverse isn’t my neatest ever but I have a large number of colour changes in relatively small areas. I’m very glad there’s no back stitch though!

Love all the creativity and crafting.
I have produced a creative mess, as I've pulled things out from many places. Have 4 drawer plastic unit mainly medical type stuff, and toiletries, all were on my bed, have managed to consolidate into 3 and also emptied an overflow drawer in another chest of drawer, so out
dental stuff, needles put away, more ood medicines, leftover small bits, corralled scissors and other things together, also large drawer storage picked up from free site and when the lady picked up gave her 2 smaller storage boxes. A little weeding. Stayed in to sort things tonight but watched too much TV so not as much done as I hoped, and didn't start with the most important area but take the view anything dealt with is good.
Take care all1

Hi all, we had sunshine all day today so 5 LDFPA. The fleece blankets we use in the garden were washed as were the heap of tea towels etc. I am looking at the curtains in the lr thinking I will try to get them done this week
, they are not urgent as I am wanting to decorate in there and they are an old pair that will probably not be used in there after but they do need a wash. The lr bin was emptied and another bag from the rod sorted which resulted in a bigish cardboard box of paper all into the recycling along with the box
. I also put a book into the cs pile, not counted as not gone yet. I heard about a big little library today. Like those telephone boxes etc that are all over the place full of books to just take for free but this is a unit in a shopping precinct and they have given away thousands of books. It was started by a lady who wanted a table to give away books for world book day and the precinct managers offered her a unit instead. They are now open 6 days a week run mostly by volunteers. As lots of cs don't take books I might take any I am moving on there
. Despite me lugging the big ladders up to the landing OH didn't feel up to putting the 2nd lampshade up today. I will try to get it sorted tomorrow
I have just about caught up with all the posts but I am falling asleep now so my brain hasn't retained much. I am out at the footy tomorrow so not expecting much to be done but we live in hope
Hugs to everyone who would like one
1203 - 1207 LDFPA
1208 lr bin emptied
1209 bag from rod sorted
1210 box of paper to recycling
Take care everyone

Just popping in to say hello. I've been missing in action but not inactive. I am finally retiring at the end of September. I just looked at my revalidation paperwork and thought I don't want to do this. I'm looking forward to being a housewife. I've never been a housewife, not even when my boy was a baby. I shall keep my cleaning job at my gym. Money will be tight but I'll be ok. I've been carrying on decluttering and I am so looking forward to deep cleaning this house. Have a lovely Sunday.17

Busy day - morning service then a streamed event followed by cafe Church.
Decluttered more bits to make Kathie. Made 6 of these dolls now so time to move on to a new project.

I'm new to mass decluttering, but yesterday my partner decided he wanted to tackle, or at least start, sorting out stuff in our loft (and we have so much of it!)
We did do a recycling centre run in the afternoon, with stuff I couldn't imagine anyone would/could ever use again (mainly old cables and broken electricals). I had used Freecycle a few times in the past, but wasn't getting on with it yesterday, so I joined Freegle. So far, of 23 posts on Freegle, some with more than one item, seven are marked as gone, I have another pickup scheduled for this evening (taking another three items) and someone coming in the morning for another one. I have kindly said I'll drop some other items off locally in the afternoon, that will be another four items gone.
All this free recycling is very therapeutic.17
