Been AWOL for a while. Hope everyone is ok and making headway on their decluttering journey.
Been doing bits- got the garden bench up but now the cardboard needs taking the tip which although a ten minute job will take me a week to motivate myself!
Took a cupboard for kallax back to IKEA yesterday probably cost me more for the meatballs in the cafe but it did mean I was not sat on the settee procrastinating about other stuff!
Has anyone on here ever had a vitamin B injection? Toying with having one but not sure if any good.
Don’t put it down - put it away!

I've also been AWOL. It's been about 2 weeks and there have been over 20 pages which I've not read! Have been making some progress with decluttering.
87 88 89 - 3 pairs of slippers
90- 93 - 2 big bags went to CS. Items included a cake stand, ds toys, ds shirt, 2 pairs ds socks, ds gloves. I count 1 big CS shop bag as 2.
94 magazine rack
95 a 3 tiered in-tray.
These are awaiting a trip to CS.
I have had a virus that hung around for a while, and didn't spend anywhere near as much time in the TLC carriage as I should have.
Hope all are well.14 -
@tibawo - I used to get B12 shots when I was younger and they did help. Haven't had any recently though. Just the vitamins.11

@tibawo I haven't had B12 shots but a friend gets them and she says she can start to feel that one is due from about 2 weeks beforehand.11

I've been rushing around so much that I've not had more than 5 mins to actually think about decluttering. I am still thinking about window sills and surfaces and have cleared some of the spaces in the living room. We've temporarily moved a floor lamp to see if DH misses it (I don't use it) and if not, it can go. Lots more thinking to do as it's a fine line between feeling bare and having just enough to feel like a home. Mostly I've been decluttering the decluttering pile and homing it in charity shops/with Buy Nothing people.Digital:
23 - photos deleted

So much going on here, less at home, not sure where my time goes apart from work. Did help dd1 with PIP appeal and sold 2 vintage plates and packaged and posted.
I can't believe how I've managed to stop wobbling and bringing things in except an A
Amber coloured glass jug. Popped in cs today and saw some lovely trousers - then realised I'd donated them the other week! Has happened before. Lovely but a dark red and know I wouldn't wear 😂
Some ood food and other used up in a rissoto. After work getting my haircut and then festival hall so focusing on experiences to help understand/ appreciate things aren't the answer.
Take care everyone and feel spring is trying to arrive !
