2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

Floss

@QueenJess ask for a referral to your nearest Women's Health team (maybe in a local Women's/ maternity hospital if you have one). If the GPs refuse, ask them to seek Advice & Guidance on next steps from that team for you.

@Florenceem Wish I had something constructive to offer other than you are being thought of and best wishes are being sent, stay strong, God bless x

DH started decluttering our usual massive heap of laundry which wasn’t quite so huge. He is an angel, he starts it and then I deal with the drying, folding and putting away. He has cooked dinner the last two days too so I am definitely spoilt. Lucky me. Only 1 sale on eBay thus far this week but two lots have bids on so hope they will go too. Slow but steady wins the race but it’s flipping frustrating.

Dizzycap - I will be going to bed early - so tired.
kiss_me_now9 - I am doing a pals online tomorrow with my SA friend. It may stop others having to go through this.

I wonder what will happen if Mr F arrives home and the lights are off and Florenceem has gone to bed.  I doubt any individual with a ounce of humanity would leave him on the door step in a hospital gown in this weather.  I'd be so tempted to not open the door if they do knock.  

I'm so angry on Florenceem's behalf.  Not a constructive thing at all but absolutely ridiculous.

Hi - just popping on. MrsF I had a very quick skim through internet and there may be a site called Leaf Complex Care that might be able to give you some information that could help in connection to certain Acts. The key word in all their literature is “safe” - the hospital does not appear to be considering a safe discharge. Rather than “I can’t do xyz” try “it is not safe for xyz to happen neither for MrF nor myself”.

Im probably not wording this properly or thoughtfully but I’ve just come out of hospital myself after an emergency admission for a DVT. And I’m a bit tired ! 🙂

Very sad day for me as my little bird Aussie died this morning. Sorry that I'm not commenting on anything but maybe tomorrow.

Kiss me now that was a very eloquent and useful post 😘

I love the Sir Sox and Aussies photos! Such a beautiful cat 🥰

MrsSD - let your DSIS know that the very naughty dogs said in their defence:
They had never seen wool/yarn before
It was ball shaped
Mums treats come in carrier bags so that was obviously a new treat for them
It was ball shaped
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well it's been a hectic day, to say the least

Decluttered HH rubbish as usual, wiped over kitchen surfaces for lurking nasties and will do again before I go to bed. Cleaned the sink, draining board & decluttered the drainer and cleaned. 

Wiped over the office table, including anything sitting on it or filed mail and decluttered any paper rubbish into the bin, put in the recycling bag, and hoovered the room.

Decluttered the cooker, racks, and hob and extractor fan of any grime and greese, but it actually wasn't too bad as I batch cook and usually give everything a good wipe over once I've finished.

Decluttered some veggies stored in the shed and made a large pot of homemade veggie soup - ate 2 lots, froze some, and rest in the fridge to have over the next 2 days.

Decluttered 1 inpost parcel whilst taking baby face for a nice walk this morning.

Decluttered 1 parcel off to the postie x

Packaged up 2 items to be decluttered out of the houseand to new homes soon

Decluttered important mail, completing a form, scanning and returning by email and printing up important documents from emails and putting in their rightful folders - not cluttering up my desk after cleaning up!

Decluttered unwanted emails & messages.

Decluttered 2 Dr.s appointments and blood test appointments all at different times, so three trips to the surgery which fortunately is only around the corner Now I say only but with severe fatigue & chronic pain personally, it's like running a marathon 3 times in a single day. Honestly, you would have thought that they could have organised it better considering there is actually never anyone in the surgery whenever I go or manage to pop in!  Makes me wonder just what are all the staff and doctors actually doing all day?

I finally sat down to declutter some more veggie soup and 2 large cups of coffee whilst watching a little TV and fell asleep mid 2nd coffee - woke up 25 minutes ago with coffee cup still in hand and nothing spilt

I hope everyone has had a good day in some way or another and/or whether you decuttered a lot, a little or nowt
