I decluttered some weeds after work! It was lovely being outside in daylight too. Dog1 thought I was clearing space for her to put her toy down, dog2 just raced round the garden squeaking his ball and winding himself up. An hour late with their tea (and didn’t I know it 🤣) then had mine and then packed up stuff ready for the office tomorrow.
and then I have Thursday off to catch up on things and then Friday is Crufts!!!!!!! I’ve not been since before the pandemic and I can’t wait 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

good evening, i do love hearing about everybodies good work decluttering, i wonder how much we have decluttered collectively so far this year???

Not much from me though so far this week. i need to crack on. im hoping to sell a couple of items on v!nted, Ive not actually listed anything yet, but i have purchased a few things ~ in the name of seeing what its all about! Theres so much on there thats brand new at really good prices ~ i been tempted!! oops! in my defence clothing is not an area that i Have a vast amount of in fact I really could do with a couple of new things. My gardening jumper has been sent to the recycling bag and my next oldest jumper is my new gardening jumper, its lovely and warm and I worked out it was pre DH so over 23 years old!!!. Its crazy, when i work out how old something is im genuinely shocked.

Sort Your Life Out was really good again! Quite emo again.

I was talking to my husband about what we can get rid of and I think I have made some big decisions about furniture. I am going to call the charity shop tomorrow to see if they can come and pick up some things.

Brambling

I put two handbags and a pair of 'like new' canvas shoes on the free FB page which have all been collected  🙂  

the pile for the CS has been increased by a couple of thick scraves gifts which I don't wear and some unused smellies are waiting to go to the food bank as they also collect those, too perfumed for me as scented items can make me wheeze.  I now have two bags for CS so I'll add to the car boot for the next time I park in town

Well that was painful and not very successful, so I thought I'd add it in here now   Asked DH about DD's winter gear as she appears to have 5 woolly hats (over zealous grandparents buying/making things we don't need).  I tried to convince DH to drop it to 2 (1 here and 1 at nursery), but failed and seem to have settled on 4 and no scarf.  He really is rubbish at getting rid of stuff... I had to fight for the scarf despite DS never wearing it and DD not needing one as her coat zips all the way up.

Digital:
1 - notes deleted

Physical:
2 - DD excess winter gear not needed (charity bag)

New total = 5,386

I didn't dare ask DH why he has 8 coats hung up in the cupboard that are all nicely spaced out taking over 60% of the space (I imagine instant stress).  Meanwhile, DD, DS and myself are trying to squeeze our coats into the final 40% of the space...  BUT don't forget that DS is a self proclaimed minimalist *rolls eyes*.

So as I had the door open for something and DS was next to me, I said “look at all the space DH’s coats are taken up and we all have to squeeze ours in here”. At this point DH said - “oh it doesn’t have to be”, came up and just pushed his coats closer together to make more room. I think he’s missing the point somewhere…

I opened the shoe cleaning box in the cupboard which was rammed and concluded that (1) I had no idea what stuff is usable and wasn’t sure what I was meant to be using for my boots and (2) not a single thing in that box was mine. Bit tricky decluttering DH’s stuff, so I rammed it back in the cupboard for now. Need to sort out that shelf though as it doesn’t work for me and it’s too cluttered.

Still found other random things to declutter. I’m probably driving DH crazy as I keep pulling out random things and asking him if I can get rid of it! I still feel like there’s lots that can go and the charity box is overflowing again and needs to be sorted.

Physical:

4 - PJs (2 sets of DS next size up PJs out of 4, but he only needs 2 sets and definitely doesn’t need 4!  Shhh… don’t tell anyone…) (Charity bag)

1 - broken fly swat (binned)

New total = 5,391
