regnbue

My final post for this year.

My December numbers are:

dvd boxset
6 ood food items
cracked fish slice
xmas decs box
xmas tree lights
papers 30 shredded (counting as 3)
huge amount of polystyrene packaging from treadmill box
nail polish
xmas bauble to friend 
uud 7 cleaning products

Items in:

bunny hot water bottle
bunny trinket pot
cushion
2 draught excluders (replacements)
mug
2 xmas tree decs
eyedrop dispenser
chair yoga book
coasters
bottle top opener
pair of socks
indoor mat
pack of small half price xmas cards
4 notebooks

The dishwasher has finally had enough so I need to get rid of the excess packs of salt and 2 bottles of rinse aid then the d/w itself can be collected by the Council.  I'm not planning on selling anything or making money next year.  Because I believe I have so few items to declutter I am initially aiming for 100 items gone. 

I've re-counted cleaning products as I know I haven't been keeping track and I'm now down to 11 from 22 for the year.  Also aiming for days out, films watched and books read but will just count as I go rather than put pressure on myself to aim for a specific number. 

The house maintenance works are still outstanding and the Room of Doom and Pantry of Doom need to be blitzed.  I've signed up to 26 in 2026 for the first time and looking forward to that.

Thank you to EVERYBODY connected with this thread for all the kindness and support you have shown me and everyone else during 2025.  It makes all the difference to have people cheering you on when at times you feel like you're wading through treacle.

I've zipped up my wingsuit and put my crash helmet on.  Once this train leaves the station it goes like a rocket!

Keep going into 2026 everybody

My husband went through another pile of paperwork. Kept most of it but it was ok. I then removed the personal details so we could chuck the rest in the recycling. Probably an inch on paper gone. 

I have started relining my kitchen curtains. I made them about 8 years ago and with pets, up to 7 cats and various dogs visiting they were looking very sad. I cleaned the front fabric with upholstery cleaner and then covered the existing lining with pink ticking. It looks so much better. I have hand stitched the lining on the first of four. I just need to machine across the tape at the top and that’s the first one done. They are interlined so they are lovely and warm. I also decluttered lots of cobwebs and dust from the curtain rail. 

My son said he needs a pillow for his daughter because she hasn’t got one. I said to take one off her bed at our house. He took it with the pillow case and protector. So thats three things out. We have loads of pillows. I have another six ready for another family member.

Posted 2 vinted parcels today and decluttered some more of DD11's room, there's a bag full of stuff for the charity shop and another box to list on Vinted.

Feeling positive about 2026!
