2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

suzeesu2000

Been a brilliant day for me. 

Thanks to it being so much cooler today, I managed to get the two raised beds totally clear of things. Got all the weeds and plant things into bags for disposal.
Emptied a load of metal plant pots, they’ve gone in the recycling bin. Plus 2 other plastic pots.
Took all the hanging baskets down. Took all the wall baskets down. Found some of my decorative lizards had escaped from their places on the wall so rehung them all.
That was all I could manage today. Will be doing a bit every day until cleared but, due to my broken old body, I have to take it quite slowly. 

Final job for the day was sorting through my enormous stash of plastic boxes. Heavens to Betsy there are a LOT, well, not quite so many now as a big stack are going in recycling. Lids are warped or don’t fit or boxes are wrong sizes etc. So pleased to have finally outed that job. Have been ruthless and am only keeping boxes with a good fitting lid that will ACTUALLY be useful. 

I am hurting like mad but feel very good mentally that I have achieved so much (for me) in one day. 

Hope everyone has had a good day xx

@Moorviews @Liverpool_Anne @CRANKY40  thank you for your wishes about my Mum.

@CRANKY40  I’d really like to see the colourful snake when it's finished too.

@Willowtree222  You should be proud! I seem unable to go into HB and just get what I went for.

No decluttering today, I did however manage to declutter a significant amount of money as all three children needed both new school shoes and new trainers, plus DS1 needed new football boots. DS1 and DS2 also needed new school trousers. We went out to dinner too, the kids had a lovely day as they love the park there but I’m busted!

A busy day today, in no particular order; sorted out some veggies for stir fries, put the food shop away, planted two cyclamen, two more pending potting. Made some flavoured butter which is now in portions in the freezer. Half a pat of butter turned into garlic butter. The other half turned into lemon and tarragon butter. Mist coated some of the plaster which has been with out paint for an embarrassing length of time. Oh and built a clothes rail.

@QueenJess good luck for the new job.
Up v early again and to avoid my work work decluttering was very tempting. Well more like with like but have cleared one drawer in the a4 Swedish small drawers, and corralled things which is good.and tidied up the chaos I made in doing this. 4 lots of paper clutter out and some plastic folders, , new scented candle I will  very use and a dress in cs bag, 2 items posted back as returns and dried up highlighted used up.
Didn't get in garden or do housework but these can wait..more work work and some frogs hopefully tomorrow and tai chi.
Counting as 12 today.
