Perhaps I should get my eyes tested in the New Yearpurplevamp, This “I actually read that as retribution and not redistribution 😆” had me laughing out loud 😂 although thinking about it ‘retribution against clutter’ could be quite cathartic 🙊 Well done to your DH for spending less than usual & also picking up bargain meat 👏 Hopefully with all that Christmas food still cluttering up your fridge/freezer the next couple of shopping trips will be cheaper 🤞 Great decluttering 👏 Good luck with your online competition entries & also your electronic decluttering 🍀
Middle son has been decluttered back to his home in Bristol (went for Uni and stayed
). The last of the turkey is being turned into soup as I type this. It's done us well - 5 main meals and the soup which should make 6 portions. Used up most of the double cream by making some fudge, it's just setting so can't eat it yet, but licked the spoon and it was yummy!!
Tonight is just me and DH and the telly. We're having the nibbles from the freezer and some fizzy plonk.
Good luck with decluttering next year everyone and I'll see you all on the shiny new thread.

So. Decluttered 5 empty recycling bag to Dfriend.That’s me for 2025.
its been an interesting and, at times, challenging year.The best things include being able to easily walk around my bed since decluttering the bedroom, or needing something from the airing cupboard and being able to see it clearly. And the kitchen. So much better than how 2025 began and I am so grateful to @Mrs_Salad_Dodger for the encouragement and cheerleading. This group is full of lovely, helpful, sharing people - you’re all amazing.
Already joined 2026 decluttering campaign, see you there.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, I hope it brings you all you wish for. Big hugs xxSaving 1 animal wont change the world - but it will change the world for that 1 animal
