TC77

Wow Queen Jess I think a decluttering record.
DD1 helped me go through a few things and commented on some jewellery looed out some bracelets - bead type, and stretched one and it broke! and 4 in CS bag. Also some paper declutter,
Will add 19 to my total tomorrow, and have some socks I have cut up to go in a draught excluder which I may have to count!

@vulpix that’s the airer we have, in fact we have two as it is the only one that I have managed not to break!
I can also confirm that it holds a cat’s weight as well as laundry on the top rack 🤦‍♀️

 I love the new airer.

 In other news we have finished MIL's over stock of kitchen roll. I was very mean with it and used it rarely. From now on no more kitchen roll, just cloths.

 I am sorry to hear about your dog Charlies tribe.x

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks 

2. Sort out sleep patterns - target bed by 2:00 a.m. & up by 10:00 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

Now into the last day of 2024. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner & afters 😉 Wudupa. 

371 - 376 Kitchen recycling, 3 foil trays (not sure why I was keeping them 🤷‍♀️), booklet, drinks cans - recycling 

377 - 379 Kitchen & lr detritus, sponge scourer - binned.

I have decided that my old slippers will be the first item disposed of to start my 2025 Decluttering Campaign 😉 

Congratulations on reaching your target diminua 👏 A Gold Star ⭐️ is on its way 😊

Excellent work BudgetingBelinda 👏 I love a well ordered cupboard 😊 so in recognition I am sending a medal 🏅 your way 🙂

Excellent decluttering short_bird 👏 You have been busy. 🤩 Two Gold Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ are on their way for passing halfway & 3 quarters of the way to your 2nd 2024 items out 😊 I am also awarding a Gold Star ⭐️ for the large number of ‘old’ items decluttered which you were counting separately 🥳

Excellent work resisting the temptation to bring items back from your Dad’s house, TC77 👏 What with that & no longer wombling, I do believe that I can safely say that you have had a successful year of decluttering 🥳

QueenJess, such a nice round number deserves a Gold Star ⭐️ Another very successful year of decluttering 👏

TC77, so pleased to see that DD1 is helping out with the decluttering 😊 I would definitely count the socks as you are using them to make a draught excluder 👏

Liverpool_Anne, what lovely news 🥹 Congratulations to your friend on becoming a grandmother 🥳 & congratulations to the mum also 😊 That is a very healthy weight 😊 Not sure if you mentioned it previously but is it a boy or a girl? Excellent work on reaching your target 👏 A Gold Star ⭐️ is on its way 😊

Ahhh sorry to hear about your pup 🐶 @charlies_tribe. It’s such a hard decision to make, but one that we owe them for all the joy and love that they bring to our lives. Hope your happy memories give you comfort 💔xx

Goodbye 2024 it's been a journey.

Thankyou Mrs SD for keeping us going,  all for your inspirations and life tales and support along the way.

See you all in 2025 for another story on the journey of decluttering.

2024 roundup for daisy. 

Lost my post grr.  Suffice it to say although I stopped counting part way through the year and was unwell for about 10 and a half months I feel pleased with progress.   Things definitely working more efficiently round these here parts these days.  Plus although I didn't set foot in my craft room for several months of the year, when I consulted my little notebook I've covered 6 pages in notes of things I've altered or created so thats great progress. 

Im very grateful to all the folks on this thread who have shared their successes and failures, their sad losses, their happy achievements  in life or in decluttering.   Its like a lovely bunch of penpals.    

I'm beyond grateful for the real life meetups I've had with declutterati, who you hope will be just as lovely in the flesh as they seemed when they were behind a keyboard, and they were !!! 😀 

Similarly I'm so thankful we have our wonderful cheerleaders, lead of course by head cheerleader Mrs sd.  Her tales of the salad sister and Mr sd, the early morning milkman, the relatives, friends and neighbours, the wildlife spotted on their round Britain travels and the endlessly positive comments on our individual progresses, wow!  No wonder she hasn't made much inroads to the decluttering.

Heres to all of us, thanks for being here in 2024
