2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD

Deb4

Hello all 

My first proper post on this thread, I've made a list of things I've decluttered but I've left it at work so I will start from today and add them when I'm back at work

Also this year I am going to learn something new every month, so this month I want to learn how to play chess so I've got a chess set.

Can I count TV programmes I've recorded? As I have quite a few to watch 

So far I have:

1-7 DS clothes sold on vinted 

Take care everyone

Good afternoon 

Back here after a busy few days. Just been to our local hedgehog rescue to collect a tiny hedgehog DP found at the end of October. She's now a big girl and as it's so mild can come back. We've done a soft release in a small enclosure for a few days. DP had already made the hog house out of offcuts of wood. So one lovely hoggie decluttered to our garden.  Hog cam all set up.  I love our hogs.  Decluttering will resume at the weekend.

keeping up with daily hoovering downstairs and steam cleaned the floor in the kitchen. @StickyTheStickInsect I haven’t managed to break my steam cleaner Kercher yet - I love the results but I don’t use it often enough! 

Excellent ! I, on the other hand have another busted steam cleaner since we last spoke about this 🤦‍♀️

Maybe it’s me, maybe I am the kiss of death to steam cleaners! I follow all their instructions and still end up with leaking all over the floor. I thought for a while it was just how it was but I don’t think I should have to mop after steam cleaning or break out a roll of kitchen roll!
Hope you are well.

Oh dear no that doesn’t sound right - however i do find that the floor should be wet enough not to have to walk on it for at least half an hour so time to sit down with a cuppa and YouTube!

Will do @vulpix! 🤣

I feel for you @Fizz2015. I saw my nan 2 days before she passed. Felt better that I saw her although it was obvious it would be the last time. I couldn't get to my mum's hospital bed quick enough (completely unexpected deterioration) so saw her after she died and regretted it. I would say go with your gut feeling, it is an awful thing to have to decide and my (and I am sure everyone else's on here too) heart and thoughts are with you. X

Well made it to charity shop etc after work so can now count my items

8 - 13 bras that no longer suit me or fit to recycling bin

14 - 19 books to CS

20 - 31 childrens books to CS

32 - 48 clothes to CS

49 - 53 childrens clothes to CS

54 new wash bag to CS

So happy with the progress so far I will have another root around later to see if I can find more to drop off tomorrow

Popping by to say hello.

Had a lovely morning having brunch with my friends who kindly listened to all my crazy news.

Dropped off 5 in and out bags and one bag of mine to the CS. At last.

(don't want to jinx anything but) I have had a good day
Mum took me to the little local garden centre this morning for tea and cake. I didn't manage to walk far, but it was so good for my mental wellbeing!
I then had a rest and this afternoon mum drove me to the stables to meet my friend, who's been caring for DPony. I wasn't allowed to do anything, except sit and drink tea and hand around biscuits, but it was so lovely. DPony nuzzled me a bit, then returned to her hay, so I don't think she is missing me too much. I am so fortunate to have such lovely friends and family and I'm feeling very indebted!

Anyhow, I am plodding on, on the decluttering journey and I have decluttered 2 of DD's hoodies, so that's items 38 and 39. The poor child will have nothing to wear at this rate, but her wardrobe was overdue a clear out. Plus my friend is a little short of £ at the moment, so is very grateful for the hand me downs!

By way of compensation, I have made DD a Harry Potter inspired T shirt with my Cricut machine- it's black, with gold glittery text and she will love it! The poor kid has had to endure so much trauma this past year (family deaths and illnesses) and she's flipping ace (I'm horribly biased, I know....)

@Madbat60, I'd love to see a pic at some point, if not too much trouble. I adore hedgehogs!
