2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

Dizzycap

@ Liverpool_Anne - can you see where the contridction is?

"sacc can trigger the release of insulin. Studies in mice have shown a rise in blood glucose" - So you substitue sugar with sacc which lowers your sugar and can trigger a diabetic 'hypo' before your sugar level raises again due to the lowered sugur level triggering the release of stored sugar in your body but your sugar becomes over raised  triggeiring a diabetic 'hyper'. That produces 'uncontrolled' diabetes which can then become a very dangerous 'norm' in many diabetics leading to obvious organ damage and strain on the heart - No thank you  

Time for food, a lovely cup of coffee, Tipping Point and then back to listing decluttered items xx

@charlies_tribe - Sorry for your loss. I watched that for the first time a couple weeks ago so gonna try and catch up with them all and hopefully be inspired to clear out a bit more.

@Dizzycap - Can you tell me about your 'Free Christmas 2025' very interested.

Just in from the dogs last big walk, took them up the hills in the dark. Love it up there. 

Managed to get some more out between decluttering and some used up items!

I've a charity shop bag still on the go.
Recycling and food waste out.
I've a coffee table that should be going tomorrow early evening.
I've had an assortment of bits go out today for my mum's birthday as they were her presents.
I've had 2 items come in today for tai chi.
I haven't checked them, but I'm hoping they are ok.
I'm still trying to declutter, although it would be a good idea to get a small nest of tablets or a smaller coffee table that is easier to care for.

And dog 1 became completely incontinent (hence the dog beds) and then had another stroke last Sunday, this time he didn't recover as usual after a few hours and we had to have the vet out to let him cross rainbow bridge at home. He would have been 14 yesterday.  

Sorry to read that. Xxx

@ charlies_tribe - I'v so very sorry for your loss and truely feel your hearbreaking pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I can say that most of us have been there and know how heartbreaking it is to have to say goodbye to a dear unconditionally loving loyal friend and companion.

Be kind to yourself, take it easy & remember you gave them a great life

I was going to do a decluttering update but it's inappropriate in consideration of charlies loss - wishing everyone a lovely peaceful evening xxx

May I ask you to check the luggage racks? I seem to have left my Oomph on the train when I got off in December. I've been looking all over the place at home and at the office, but can't find it anywhere!

@Siebrie I think mine is with yours, and they may have been inadvertently left at my 5* hotel in Malta! 😂😂

charlies_tribe - sorry to hear about the loss of your dear dog.

Sad end to the day here - had news of the passing of a Church friend - F -  a sweet and gentle lady - we were born in the same year. F was tiny but so full of love for everyone. A great loss to the Church family and of course to hers.

charlies_tribe

Thank you all so much. He did really well and had a good life. He had his first stroke 2 years ago and got a bit worse with each one.x

@Florenceem im so sorry to hear about your church friend. Sending love to all. 

No comments on the things I posted on the free site so nothing to add this evening. It next tub on the shelf is a huge tub of Jigsaw pieces! Now do I try to put each Jigsaw together or just throw them? They've been in there years from when one of the kids tipped them all out of the boxes and i kept meaning to sort them and still haven't about 15 years later. They definitely won't want peppa, princess, cars.... Jigsaws evenn if I did try to sort them. Think I just answered my own question 😂

@charlies_tribe - So sorry for your loss. Pets really pull at our hearts don't they especially when leaving us. Take care of yourself.

@Florenceem - Sorry also to hear about your church friend. 

I am still hear reading along. Enjoying reading what everyone is up to. Doing some decluttering but mainly taking people to and from appointments. Working at the Public Library on the book sales. Trying to get well.

Hope everyone has a decent week. Just don't watch the news - we may be going to war with Canada. Our president is a total idiot.
