2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

GrannyKate

Morning all.  Hopefully windows will be finished today then large bill to declutter.  Mostly admin jobs done and will try and do more today.  Collecting stuff up for rubbish collection tomorrow.  Sox is currently doing mad zoomies round the place.  Taking DGCs to school then I will have to shut him again while fitters are here.  Just remembered to go round and put neighbours bins out for this morning.  

Went to Mr T last night with DS2 and DGCs but forgot to get the cash I need for tomorrow.  Will have to go to Mr A later this morning which is closest.  @Florenceem - it may be possible to get someone to cut Mr F's toenails at home - mil had someone come out - she had to pay but it was a reasonable amount.  I pay £35 to go to a small private clinic where I can park right outside the door. 

226 Closed a savings account and moved money to another account paying more interest - very MSE
227 Downloaded the App for another savings account. Didn't know they had one until I read a junk email they sent me. 
228 Christmas cards sorted through and recycled
229 Quiz decluttered and paper recycled
230 Audiology appointment finally made on phone - a Saturday which will be easier parking

came back to edit as I jumped from 228 to 299 - oops naughty

I didn't get far with the workshop, too much emotion still. Instead I had a little tidy of the garage which has made room to move more things out of the house ready for his sons to go through. In the evening I went through a few shelves of books and removed the ones I own on kindle. They are bagged up ready to go and I have two empty shelves.

GrannyKate - we have previously been to a podiatrist - will go when Mr F is able to get out and about.
I am going to take stuff to 2 charity shops then get a bus back. I need to get a local newspaper and some flowers for a friend's Birthday. I will call in SA to give her a card and the flowers.
I have 2 areas in my craft room on my list for today.
I also want to refill my shopping trolley and a bag for tomorrow's visit into town.
It is bin day so another job to do - Mr F usually deals with the bins.
Very windy here today.

Florenceem, if I was near I would come over and offer to do mrf's nails I would be happy to. 

I never made it back on after my last post, oops! I did find 10 things to declutter, mostly from the bathroom cabinet, out of date tablets, and a spray and then a metal grotty water bottle. Some of these things are in the correct place to leave the house when ready others have gone. The metal sits in a pot until we book atop trip. The tablets are in a bags with a coulple of inhalers fit the next pharmacy trip, etc! 

Total now 228 / 2025.
Its interesting, I am finding it harder to declutter. There is still a lot of stuff but I've cleared the easy wins since I've been decluttering and now it is harder. Mostly because the carp that is left is not mine 😂😂 and Oh is a bit of Justin!! 
Well a lot of one, I think Justin should be his middle name. 

Anyway I have the morning, I will make a quick list (love, love, love a list makes me so much more productive) and find another 10 items. Then after lunch I am off to somewhere near Reading for a meditation weekend. 

Have a good day everyone and hugs to all who would like one xxx

Ooh and big food was finished and postef of but it was second class paid for and I realise that it still won't get there in time so I need to ring and extend the deadline even though it's postefd🙄 should have been more organised. But at lest it is out the house. Actually I think that counts as 1 of the 10 in looking for, for todays total, 😜

Wow, this thread moves so quickly! 
Think I've caught up and so impressed with how everyone is doing.
Have managed to do a few bits - large bag of clothes, box of playmobil and a few bikes and scooters gone. Need to find out where I can send sharps bins. Pharmacy says no so next stop is the GP to see if they know.
Feeling the need to tackle a larger area today so I can see the difference.

Morning all - very chilly and a bitter wind here - wrap up warm everyone, if you're going out xxx

Decluttering so fat today:

Listed 5 items early this morning

Emptied all HH rubbish bins and put in appropriate wheelie bins.

HH wheelie put out for decluttering collection today.

Decluttered 2 large cups of coffee.

Cluttered the car boot up with a neighbours food shop as they couldn't get a home delivery for 4 days and are unwell at the moment! Promptly decluttered in bags in their kitchen.

Babyface refuses to go out for a walk this morning as she hates cold or bitter wind, so she's buried herself in her thick fleece Will have a game of ball and baby before I take baby-face 2 out for another outing today at 11am for an hour to declutter some of her energy while I sit with a large flask of coffee and rest - amazing how you can send a young Dachshund crazy with fruit-loop running using a sqeaky ball and rubber chicken whilst saying "I'm coming to get you"

Planning on completing a few more listings later today but will have to see.

Going to declutter the office desk and wipe over, declutter the mail, and declutter the floors with the hoover and mop.

As its forecast for rain this afternoon, I'm going to do some dusting, put a pile of clean clothes away, and generally tidy up and declutter any mess as I go along 

Hope everyone has a super decluttering day - take care and ta-ta for now xx

QueenJess, I think we can let you off 🤣

I did seriously think about finding some long pliers to see if I could turn it a bit more in a pencil sharpener, but eventually decided to cut my losses!

No more decluttering to report, although nothing coming in either.  Really should clear more of the library, but am very tired after getting back from the gym at 10:45pm and getting up early to bake a cake (for my own birthday tomorrow!), change all the beds and do the washing before work started at 9am.  Might give it a miss and have a gin after work instead

@Dizzycap
