2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

Muddy_Walker

Hellooooo!
Ive to put extra alarms on my phone as I’ve missed taking the bulk of my tablets….twice.
I was also quite dizzy over Easter and slept most of it but feel a bit better today.
Changed my bedding as I sweated a lot and had a very long shower so feel a bit more human now.
Mind has been chuntering away (as it does) and Inner Critic roared up again.
Medical stuff going on for the next 2 weeks - to be honest I am absolutely fed up with it all!
Anyway the following has been decluttered:
137-141 old drink containers
142-143 part of a frog
144 ood fridge stuff
145 miniature tape measure
146 Am…. Boxes
142-152 unused and unneeded medication
153-159 many emails
160-161 part of another frog
162-167 yet another frog!!!!
168-172 weeding
173-179 burning old paperwork
180 different frog
181 usual household rubbish

Hubby did an awesome job sorting out a rack of mine and putting it in boxes I’d ordered- I will take a pic when it’s all completed.

Dizzy I cried at that video-mind you I’m all emotional anyway at the moment!

And here are the best chocolates in the world ❤️

Muddy_Walker - 2 adorable dogs.
I didn't press items for V photos - took pics of some books instead.
I decluttered 4 repairs - a dressing gown pocket which had come undone and an apron pocket. Also repaired a pair of Mr F's boxers and sorted the elastic in daughter's dress sleeve - I thought it would need to be replaced but it had just come undone at the join so an easy fix.
We had a very hot curry for our midday meal - nose running hot!
Walked into town and posted a letter and a Birthday card.
I have noticed that Mr F is more argumentative since his last hospital admission - he was arguing with the postmaster about stamps today. I told him to stop arguing and just paid the extra postage.
On the way into town - a van pulled onto the pavement - Mr F has an extra wide rollator - no way he could get past and I wasn't taking him off the pavement onto the road. I shouted at the driver - excuse me but my husband can't get by there - you are too far onto the pavement. It was a loud shout - several people turned to look but the driver said nothing - got back in his van and moved off the pavement - I did thank him. I am turning into an assertive old lady!
There was some medication on offer in £land - reduced from £2.50 to £1.50 - only one carton on the shelf so we stayed on the bus and went to the store in the shopping centre. When we arrived - the shelf label said £2.50 so this old lady went and nicely asked an employee to scan the item - it was £1.50 but the shelf label hadn't been altered.
Mr F got a text about an ECG this morning..

Loving the animals pics. 
I did the dreaded baking cupboard and tins cupboard today. Lots thrown out and.its half empty again, which isn't a bad thing. It's the one I hate doing as it has all the flour and sugar in it and no matter what, gets everywhere!

I may have been overly ambitious with my mini kitchen challenge target of 50, but I shall see how far I can get with it.  Maybe there is more lurking around than I realise.  4 items in (much needed bras & the packaging).  A few more bits will be coming back in soon whenever I actually get round to sorting them out and putting them away!

A few more items to add in for today's progress:

1 - candle used up
1 - paper, reused then recycled
1 - kitchen cupboard overstock used up

New total 1,204
Use it up total 97
Net physical things in/(out) +50
Mini kitchen challenge 8/50

@Muddy_Walker gorgeous dogs!
@SuperLooperSaver well done on moving.... always in awe of people doing this. I've been in my home 32 years...and looked to move on and off for the last 25!
@Crazycatlady2 ...I think I'm right that you've decluttered a house? well done
@Happy_Kitties good luck with the legal frog 

Finalised complicated email and will send tonight and sent another - linked issue.
Nothing out but plumber has been and sorted problem with new tap , so it works and I can put D/W and W/M on but will leave washing to friday when working at home and there is some sun forecast - north facing garden so have to do it early.

DD2 now staying til next Monday so will try and do more one evening and on Saturday to lead by example and hoping she will sort through sports thing (have cricket, hockey, football, tennis and table tennis balls in abundance). So much easier to spot others surplus and abundant categories. I jealously guard mine 

Have to clear the dining room of my work stuff although will be using it in the morning and then have the afternoon off to shop with DD2 and a film.

Had a quiet day again yesterday so only a few papers out.

Today was really productive and several things crossed off list - both admin and housework - so although feeling slightly overwhelmed as there is so much still to do, am also pleased with what has been achieved.  Will continue with more tomorrow.
