2024 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Great news Jackie!

Oh Muddy, leave it a couple of days and see how you feel.xxx

 Daisy, I never made the connection with changing out of school uniform. I wore a uniform as a nurse too so I suppose I am just used to getting changed when I get home. I envy those elegant types who always manage to look well groomed. I think it takes a lot more effort than I am prepared to put in though. I certainly couldn't do makeup everyday. My colouring has changed too as I have got older, I have no clue what colour suits me at all anymore! DD1 has "the knack" and can pull any style of clothes off. She would make a bin bag look good. I forgot my promise to only buy second hand this year except underwear. So two pairs of trousers and a top bought new. I do take a bag of donations to the charity shop almost weekly so I don't feel too bad. 

 Mrs SD, that radish would feed a family with left overs. It's a stunner.

 Mr V just walked up to the charity shop and the woman was disappointed that there were no hand makes this week. I see my reputation goes before me.

 Still raining, that fine rain that wets you through. Windows here I come.

Got annoyed this morning as work aren't letting me take holiday and will pay it instead... means I have 3 weeks instead of 2 left.  So instead I went through the financial/official documents drawer in my desk as the decluttering drawer of choice for today.  Still got some filing to do and two last files to check, but then it's done and I've even done all the shredding ready for bins/recycling to go out tomorrow.

Physical:
1 - DS tat (charity bag)
30 - official paperwork recycled/shredded
2 - packaging reused
2 - packaging recycled/reused

New total = 13,035

A couple of things in today - a dress I'd ordered on Vinted over a week ago along with the packaging that I'll reuse at some other point.  Still sorting out my wardrobe very slowly...

July Total In: 2, Total Out: 35

Hi Chums ,
    at long last the contracts have been exchanged  half an hour ago, and I move next Tuesday can't come soon enough and fingers crossed there are no more hitches. Only a few more boxes to pack today will mainly be about telling all the utilities about change of address,
Going to DDs tonight for dinner to celebrate

Hope alls going well for everyone

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks + a weekly Mini Mission in May

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

Monday 11:00 - how on earth is it July already 😱 it is dull & very overcast with a chilly breeze 🙁 I hope summer isn’t over 😔 The recycling wheelie bin was finally emptied this morning - just 4 days late 😉 I will go straight into cheerleading in an attempt to catch up so please wish me luck 🍀

Quick PIP update - mandatory reconsideration rejected.

Do I have the energy for a tribunal?

You must.  Sorry I did see the earlier post.  Have you got citizen's advice helping you out?
