2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

Willowtree222

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. We had a funeral this morning for her and put her in a plant pot with a lovely plant on top for us to remember her by. She was such a character. 

Sold the item I couldn't find the other day. Thankfully I found it so my bank has been topped up and one item removed from the house. 

The house is starting to feel like I am making progress.

1 skirt Decluttered as too tight. Not keeping “just in case” clothes. 

Whilst wading through the ironing, I have found several tops and a skirt I genuinely didn’t know I had, so clothes declutter is on the cards as a job to be done.
Friend did not come for garden stuff so that’s going in next lot of recycling , all outside ready. 

Tomorrow I will be tackling the laundry, couldn’t do it today as DH can’t get past the loaded washing lines in his scooter. Plan to continue decluttering the pile of ironing, am getting very close to the bottom of it now. 

DH has promised we can go through his long sleeve T-shirts tomorrow and get rid of those that don’t fit well. Fingers crossed.
Have an amazing weekend everyone xx

Can I jump in on vintage clothes please Mrs SD
I have hung on to my son's christening gown which was his mother's, and his grandmother's.As he is now 32 and Dawn was born in1959, and I've forgotten when GM was born !! Lets just say it is ancient!! It is made of Nottingham lace and hand embroidered. Will try to post some pics .

@Willowtree222 - Size of the pet doesn't matter in the broken heart department. Sending your DD hugs from America.

Thank you. DD is 12 and autistic. She is highly sensitive and hearing her so heartbroken really cuts me up. I have to teach her the harsh reality of life though. She wants pets and with that comes the difficulties. 

My parents are currently staying with me. Dd has my mum wrapped round her finger and today she returned home with a waffle maker. Just when I had made space in the cupboards!

@Willowtree222 agree size of the pet doesn't matter. How fab that you have space for the waffle maker and hope some waffles have been made.
@mehefin, beautiful christening gown 

So a few papers out and up early to ask recycle people if they'd take the big box I couldn't  crush. They did happily. Scaffolding up just hope when they start work next week there are some dry days from Wed onwards.
Interesting about the black moon and the 25th, will take it as an omen.
Sorted one book shelf realise I have puzzle books & suduko which I can use when need distraction rather than the fridge. Have 2 the same so I will go, some notebooks which need to go with other notebooks etc , looks tidier and calmer so will keep chipping away. Emptied apil from broken flower pot into one which now has drainage holes so babysteps .

Still to drop off batteries  1498 as more paper out and out stickies on some filing say where they need to go so don't have to read again..
Hope everyone has a good long weekend x
