2025 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN MrsSD - The Joy of Decluttering

Mrs_Salad_Dodger

1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks
2. Concerted effort to sort out sleep patterns - Realistic targets: bed by 2:00 a.m. & up by 10:00 a.m 
3. Continue dealing with mail & email on a daily basis
4. Don’t put it down, put it away + deal with mini tasks as soon as they are noticed e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc
5. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ using the acronym - I.R.I.S. (Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off) - One per quarter
6. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed

Monday continued: DH didn’t go for his walk as it started pouring 😞 An hour or so later the rain had almost stopped so DH did go for his walk & was quite lucky as he only had light drizzle whilst he was out 🙂 I finally put away the laundry that I did last week then stayed upstairs & had a mini sort out of our bedroom wall unit 🙂 Sadly nothing decluttered, but a lot tidier & I have earmarked  a few bits for the CS. I have brought down a couple of balls of wool & will start knitting a matching hat & scarf. Having finished off the hm soup for a late lunch, DH used up his calorie allowance by having some yoghurt with crunchy cereal. Whilst I cooked omelettes for me & DSis - with grated cheese, bacon bits & sliced mushrooms 🤤 Wudupa.

1963 - 1968 Kitchen recycling, 3 cardboard boxes, paper packaging, drinks cans - recycled 

1969 - 1970 Kitchen detritus, plastic packaging - binned

Teaparty_mum, hopefully not too much chaos 😉 I imagine you will sleep well tonight 😊

Excellent decluttering Rootle 👏

Lovely to see you _Dolly_Rocker_ 👋 Excellent decluttering & completion of tasks & all on a WFH day 👏 As to This “I'll be finishing work soon so will get the dogs out a bit earlier to try and miss the fireworks that are going off constantly up my way. Nightmare as the dogs are absolutely terrified.” ‘nightmare’ is the exact word 😱 So annoying that it goes on for weeks & starts almost as soon as it gets dark 😖

BlueJ94, great pictures & lovely weather 😊 I hope the weather stays this good for your whole holiday 🙏

surprisinglynice, a busy day indeed 👏 Love the idea of decluttering the grandchildren 🙊

suzeesu2000, well done on persevering with the downloads despite the “internet having a hissy fit” 👏 I would probably have given up 😉 Good work creating space in the freezer to take advantage of the Clubcard savings on pork 👏

Good work oceanspirit 👏 Reminds me I need to go through my emails 😞 Good luck dealing with the rest of the emails 🍀 Hopefully ‘technology’ will work properly & quickly 🤞

Welcome back GrannyKate 👋 Sounds like you had a lovely time with DS1 & family ☺️ Hope DS1 has a good journey & that the 5 weeks he is away aren’t too onerous for his family 🙏 Poor Sox must be wondering what is going on 😔 Congratulations to DD on her new role 🥳 Well done you on reducing your sugar levels 👏 especially as the doctor was pleased with your progress 😌 Sounds like the doctor has a great bedside manner & realises you get better results from your patients with praise & encouragement rather than scolding 🙂 I am also looking forward to vulpix being back online 😊

Excellent decluttering Happy_Kitties 👏

TC77, pleased to hear that you had a lovely weekend & managed to declutter some stress ☺️ I have to say you ‘sound’ more relaxed 👏 Grr to having to go into work on a WFH day 😖 I nipped in quickly to the TLC Carriage & thoroughly enjoyed my scone & jam 😋 I was very restrained & only had one 😉 TC77, can you recommend a CS in Lewisham which has a crafting section & is best to donate fabric to?  

All caught up 🙂 Now I will settle down & do a bit of knitting before going to bed. Sleep tight everyone 😴
