Can I join please @Shrewbie

I'm aiming for 15 nsds as this will beat my October amount. 

I’d like to get rid of at least 10 items from the house. Could do with double that amount.

Yes please @Shrewbie

Plans for No!vember:

• Aiming for minimum 12 NSDs (hoping for more but 12 should definitely be achievable.
• With stuff everywhere in the house, I will be trying for a massive decluttering push in November. I managed to get rid of a few bits in October but will really go for it this coming month.
• House needs a good scrub as well so will see what I can do of that.
• Budgets set and money ready, just need to sort out what DB1 owes me and get him to send that over and I should be set.
• I’m going to aim for no random purchases at convention I’m attending this month-I don’t need anything so would prefer to make this con as low cost as possible.
• Additionally I need to sort out getting paperwork together and to probate solicitors to get that in progress, I need to provide ID elsewhere as well to mortgage adviser.
• I’d like to collate a list of what needs doing in the house (general tasks and more complex ones) so I can save up or work on those tasks. I am incredibly overwhelmed by everything at the moment so getting things down on paper might help.
• I need to do some major work at my allotment this month to prepare for winter and next year.
• I also need to do some smaller bits in my garden at home to prepare that for winter and next year.

Seems like plenty to be getting on with…

No’s for November:
- No! to excess recipe books! There’s a good chance I could turn these into cash - if so these will become a mix of OP and savings.
- No! to the previous mortgage company holding onto an excess payment after sending out the redemption statement for the switch. I need to leave it a couple of days and then ring them and confirm how they are sending me these monies. Initially these will be used to refill the joint household savings account (taken a battering of late) and then OP 😊
- No! to not knowing how to OP the new mortgage company yet … I have the phone number to contact them about this. Just need to get it done. 
- No! to not having a will … I have a block here in that Mr KK wants to leave a chunk to a couple of charities but I have read that they can be an absolute menace about chasing for what they see as their money after the person’s death … I guess the first step will be to see if there is a wills board where I can discuss this  … 🤔

And the slightly hard ones:
- I’d rather not. be without a job. Keep pushing on with applications, chasing recruiters, attending interviews etc.
- I’d rather not. be overweight. Keep going with tracking calories and exercise in nootracheck and hopefully keep shrinking. 

- I’d rather not. have a messy muddle garden. Keep going with clearing and sorting. 

That’ll do! 😊

Morning all, here are my intentions. 


Decluttering the mental space: 
1. I am finishing a course this month. It has been really a mental slog, just due the the time needed to watch the content, and writing 12,000 words. Not hard, but it has dominated the last 5 months! 
2. I am decluttering uncertainty about work, because I will be ok. It doesn't need so much attention. Frankly, I don't give a f**k.

Decluttering the physical space:

Get rid - identify ten things that you can declutter and/or sell - i don't have too much stuff at the moment bt the shed is a disaster. So I need to sort that!

Implement 5 min tidying bursts - you decide how many you do per day/week - LOVE this

Goals and positive changes...I am saying no to not putting myself first. 

•  I am easing into a Whole30 - starting properly on the 12th of November. I am definitely eating something that is making me feel off, and I need to isolate it. 
• Walking at least 1 mile a day - come rain or shine. 
• I am going to start decorating - make my environment more my own.

NSDs - I am going to go for 15. 

Really nice challenge thank you Shrewbie,

And we're off! Happy November everyone.

Here are my plans:

Mental decluttering

- No to events. I have one outing planned in November (a piano concert) and everything else I will be saying no to. I have an exam coming up and I would like to prioritise that. I don’t particularly want to be antisocial but I have realised that I need to hibernate for a bit. I need to calm the noise. 

- No to unnecessary spending. I am going to properly meal plan this month and I have reduced the food budget quite heavily. Let's see how that works out.

- No social media (apart from MSE of course) I did this throughout October and it worked well. I will introduce it back in after my exam.

- No TV/series watching unless I'm watching a film with my housemates. No solo binge watching.

- No booze until after my exam. It does focus the mind.

Physical decluttering

List at least 10 things on Vinted

Goals and positive changes

- I'm going for 15 NSDs but I will push for more. Lots of inspiration from turtles on this one... I'm looking at you @beanielou! 

- Apart from being able to study for the exam, I'm hoping all the no-ing will give me some space to work on myself, to meditate, read and time to think.
