2024 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD

Pitlanepiglet

Woo hoo! Managed to delete another 3500 emails from my inbox! I've been plugging away on my phone but it was so much quicker with the laptop. 

I need to go back over the 1200 remaining and read/ file/prune further but not today!  

Also decluttered a family pack of crisps which are always my "feeling poorly" food!

A white button up safari-type shirt to donations; I like it, but dds have strong opinions

thanks everyone, definitely moving easier today.  Brain hasn't retained a  couple of things i was going to respond to other than that parent who dared call anyone else 'tight'.   You'd think people would have a bit more tact in current financial and also on environmental grounds of not wasting clothes for the sake of a badge change.   Well done for laughing at her.

Was wondering if one of you lovely people could help me

I bought a little Christmas tree and it says you can plant it outside which I've never done before...any tips on best way to try to get it to survive please? 
Big planter or in ground?
I've waiting till freezing weather ended to do it 
Thanks in advance

Glad a couple of people admitted to the naked cleaning 😂

I have no idea @Crazycatlady2 but we have one called Gerald I need the same advice for!

Nothing decluttered again. There's not as much to get rid of nowadays.  But I'm going to list the toys on o'lio this week, they're not selling on F-B. I don't care about the money, just want them gone

That made me laugh bit_by_bit 😃

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 

Sunday is an overcast damp day but temperature is 12C although it feels cooler due to the chilly breeze. Up slightly earlier 12:45 & now settled down with my cuppa & raring to get going on the cheerleading 😉

Excellent decluttering retiredinfrance 👏 The hamper from the Commune Council is a wonderful idea & I see that you & DH enjoyed the best bits 😊

Brie, just wondering why there is such a time gap in fitting the kitchen floor 🤨 Sorry to hear that OH is unwell 🤧 but well done on resisting his idea to just put everything back into the kitchen - I agree with you that only the items you really want to keep should be returned to your new kitchen 👏😊 Hopefully the method you have chosen of laying everything out on a table whilst deciding what is returned will Not get boring 🤞 More like an exciting adventure & an opportunity to declutter as much as possible 😊 Good luck with the mugs 🍀 

Excellent decluttering BudgetingBelinda 👏 Woman 1 + £12 - Wardrobe 0 🥳 Do you have any more wardrobes 😉

tibawo, sounds like DD1 has yet to be inducted into the “Mysterious Art of Decluttering” Club 😉 although as you say at least her heart is in the right place as she wants to help with the cleaning 🙂 Presumably as DD2 lives at home, she understands your method 😉

flaming747, sorry to hear that the bad cough is still lingering 😔 Remember anything out is a win & another step along your decluttering journey 👏

bamboo_socks, my oven gloves have burn marks all over them (& I use an electric oven)🤨 so no judgement from me 🙂 I think that ‘setting fire’ to an oven mitt is probably a regular occurrence in kitchens all over the world 😉 I will pop by later for a taste test of the lasagne 😂

Crazycatlady2, just look at it this way - the sooner DD passes her test the sooner she can collect the curry in future 😊

Great idea flamingo747 👏

Crazycatlady2, sounds like a very sensible idea to clean the shower whilst you are in it 👏

Just off to make a 2nd cuppa before resuming the cheerleading.

 Also commiserations to anyone with lingering lurgies and in the TLC carriage. I hope it works its magic!

Proof yet again I need to get my eyes checked....I thought you were referring to "lingerie lurgies" and momentarily wondered what could be so drastically wrong with someone's bra or knickers.

@Brie should if gone to Specsavers 😭

Eldest takes me in car to collect food but he doesn't like going inside and last few times w had delivery from there it took ages 😭. ironically DD works in a takeaway but we don't always use hers as we prefer a different pizza place and they don't do curry anyway

My tree doesn't have a name 😱 hope that doesn't mean he less likely to survive 

I decided to write myself a deep cleaning list to last me next 3 weeks till half term. I'm going to ask eldest 2 to help pick a couple of things and deep clean own rooms in holidays...wish me luck

This made me laugh so much I've only just stopped coughing! 😂😂😂
