2024 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

~FlowerPot~

Can't wait to see the next photo BlueJ94, good luck! 🤞.
I decided to tackle our tiny room / cupboard it is a big mess and a tressure trove and a trip down memory lane, and letters from my sister who passed away 2 years ago, my degree at work. Ive also bought down 5 large boxes of photos to look through. We can't keep ALL of them! I would like to half them at least. 
Ive made a good start, but it's not finished yet!! 

So the out pile so far includes:
A minecraft collectors book
A grotty pilliow
Birthday cards
School diaries
Children crutches!

Old/out of date medicine 

Few more clothes…
wasn't planning much today but I like doing a little something every day. 
Some pottering in the week and declutter but probably no big sort outs until the weekend as I’m back to work. I can’t wait to get the wardrobe done! Then try the spare room wardrobe and then kids. Might take me into Feb!

@Liverpool_Anne - DS2 normally takes some persuading to do things here.  No power galvanised him into action as he had lost the wifi on his phone. 

74-83 Various pictures either returned to loft or in CS bag - just sitting in DS2's wardrobe
84 Sewing machine back to loft - not ready to get rid of it
85 More Swarovski boxes found (they must hide) and put with the others in loft
86-88 More clothes from DS2 for CS bag
89 Beach shoes to CS bag
90 Various cardboard things from DS2's room into recycling
91 Baby picture of DD put with stuff for her to take - she said she has a space

Okay so update time..its not amazing but not bad either! I do however need to tackle my amount of clothes I have and don't need so that's my next task for another day! At least you can see the floor! 

Now to go cook Sunday dinner.

Evening All, totally lost count where I am so saying 5 unless @Mrs_Salad_Dodger could you remind me please. 
Another 14 to declare:
Mattress to tip, 2 broken crockery binned, 5 boxes recycled, 2 items used up and recycled, 4 bags of soft plastics, batteries and crisps packets recycled. 

Today has been a rollercoaster DD had a meltdown and hitting and kicking me. We now need to demand help from school or whoever will help us. Thing is in school she is a model pupil but at home meltdowns can be epic. This has been going on too long, we've done the parenting course, tried everything suggested in terms of parenting approaches and need some help or support. Think I need some time in the TLC carriage, did I hear it has a spa too? 😏 Early night once DD is in bed.

Also cleared items in the bathroom that I havent used in a few months or used and then haven't bothered again for months. Here's my recyclable haul!

DS is still ill, so I am currently walking around like a zombie and likely another night of broken sleep as I am on 24-7 nurse duties.  A few more bits to declare with one set of toys to go from DD's room (I have to admit I didn't do that and just instructed DH to see if there was anything he thought she didn't use and to take it out).  Her room still needs more work, but tiny steps.  Too tired to clear up my bedroom, but will continue working through it all slowly tomorrow.

The kitchen cupboards are slowly improving as well.  Eventually I will be just left with the things I actually use and want food/cleaning wise in there.  Happy with slow change in the kitchen though and as long as things are going in the right direction I am happy with that.  Since the clean/defrost in November, both the freezers and fridge remain under control.  So it should just be the cupboards to use up a load of older stuff in now and I've been on this path for a year already.

Physical:
4 - DS tat recycled
1 - craft stuff used up
2 - baking supplies used up
2 - duck food used up
6 - DD toys (Buy Nothing)

New total: 1,749

Lovely baking Mrs SD I love rock cakes not that I make them very often it was the cake of choice my late great aunt made well into her 90s if you were invited to tea 🙂

some financial paperwork done today chipping away at a large frog 🐸 

whilst cooking dinner tonight I sorted the 4 kitchen drawers not much declutterred but all straightened not sure why I had a collection of plastic cutlery I hate to admit it but it comes from working my old job which had no kitchen and I left 10 years ago, no more moving it out to tidy and putting it back again

So today's decluttering is a skirt, a toastie maker and a broken plate. Also threw some frozen mince pies in the food waste bin as no one likes them. Have also started looking round the house to see what else can go
