2024 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Pennypincin

I've 1 set of lined curtains, about 3 café style net curtains and about 5 normal net curtains taken but won't be gone until Sunday.
I will need to buy new nets and curtains, but the ones rehomed weren't any good for various reasons. All were charity shop purchases, so weren't too expensive.
I am going to try and be more intentional or sensible with future purchases.

Hugs to those dealing with health/dental issues plus partners dealing with such things.

Some more old papers out, more dvds to go to CS and some things done off the jobs list. Also had a good clear put of old text messages and some more food from the stores uu.

Nipping on to add another 6 items, taking my total to 862.

Binned: an old bonsai kit, a pan handle that fits nothing, a torn rainbow bag I can't fix because the loop has gone missing, a tin full of unusable eye makeup, a pipe.

Into the very full skip, a mirror, on top in case someone dives for it. 

Sorry, forgot, pair of trainers 863!

Hi all, a bit of a sorting day today but slow start as I didn't get to sleep when I planned. I ended up having a long text conversation with my dnephew who is currently working in Australia so what with the time difference etc it was early hours before I got to sleep. Also I had earache for most of the day though it has eased up now, probably connected to this sinus thing that is still hanging around grrr. I have sorted my post, I seem to only be getting stuff delivered about once a week atm, it was all end of year financial stuff so it has been filed away. I have also sorted through 2 bags from the conservatory but it is getting a bit difficult to put things away as I am trying to sort out the lr to be decorated and the kitchen to be replaced but a couple of things into the cs bag so some progress . Also a session of self care

I have caught up but I am falling asleep so hugs to anybody who would like one, especially those having problems with teeth, I go to the dentist regularly but I dread it

634 post sorted
635 & 636 bags from the conservatory
637 self care
Take care everyone

Have taken roommate Di to the emergency room for the third time this week. Feet badly swollen and looking strange. We went to the doctor for her this afternoon and he sent us right over. She is still there. If anyone can say some prayers for her I would appreciate it. I will be trying to reorganize the house and her room this weekend in case she has surgery of some sort on them.

weenancy, so sorry to hear about Di 😔 I will pray for her & for speedy treatment & recovery 🙏 Cwtches to you both 🤗

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks + a weekly Jettison Junk in January

2. Sort out sleep patterns - target bed by 2:00 a.m. & up by 9:00 a.m 

3. Deal with mail & email on a daily basis

4. Don’t put it down, put it away + deal with mini tasks as soon as they are noticed e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc

5. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ using the acronym - I.R.I.S. (Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off) - One per quarter

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

First load of washing is outside & the 2nd load is in & doing its thing 😉 2nd load washed & now hanging out 🙂 As I had used up the last of my downstairs supply of yarn I selected a few balls from my upstairs stash. I have decided to knit a baby blanket in basketweave stitch. I wrote a 6 day menu plan before writing a shopping list for DH. He set off about 17:15 & will post our votes on the way. Most of the shopping put away. Dinner was mushroom risotto. Wudupa.

659 - 663 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans, 1” thick Annual Report & Accounts, 0.5” thick brochure, cardboard box - recycled 

664 Kitchen detritus binned

 P.S. Forgot to bring the washing in before it started raining 🙊 so half hour in the td to finish drying the bedding. Put away the last of the shopping.

Well done on the Tip trip mhagster 👏 Sounds like a lovely way to spend a Wednesday afternoon 😊

Floss, nice idea for QueenJess 👏

daisy_1571, love the idea of “a passing Clutter Inspector” 😊 As you had such great ideas I have taken a copy of your post & will re-read when I have another major decluttering session in my kitchen 😉

QueenJess, I feel for you 😔 Always difficult to declutter if you have a Justin or Ron as a member of your family 😉 I looked up plate warmers & they do take up quite a bit of space 🤔 Not sure what to suggest 🤔 

Great decluttering Deni_debt-free_dreamer 👏 Hope you enjoy your election work next week 😊 

Excellent decluttering short_bird 👏 Although I see that you have mistyped your numbers on page 307 - from 1339 to 1667 instead of to 1367 🙊 I believe your current total is 1446 - so sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😔

Sorry not kept up with all going on with everyone, however, seen London 1 has moved rapidly on the moving front. To solve the clock radio dilemma have one from a neighbour who has recently moved in and was surrounded with boxes. The thought of how many boxes I'd need is upsetting but I seem to have got to a standstill. Earlier this week I set myself a target of 50 this weekend, and wanted to start with my bedroom which is out of control but find it so daunting, picking things up and putting them back
