Ah, I've been reading along the last few days and had so much I wanted to reply to and now I can't remember. I don't know how you do it Mrs SD.
Florenceem- I'm so pleased to hear that MrF is a little better and I hope you got some answers after his tests tomorrow.
CrazyCatLady- well done to your DD
florianatwobob- lovely pictures! My 2 year old granddaughter is absolutely obsessed with the moon and stars right now and would love to see that. She's decided they're going to the moon for her birthday and that she will need to sit on mum's knee as its very small... DD1 has 2 months to work out how to get her a party on the moon 🤣
Muddy_Walker- hope everything is okay with your bloods, that seems so many in one go, hugs.
Thank you MrsSD and Liverpool_Anne, DGS came home late Thursday night and has been going back to have his antibiotics through his IV. Hopefully his last one tomorrow.
I haven't actually decluttered anything over the last few days, actually had a few things coming in. Dog 2 is home 😔 some new books about space and the moon for DGD, a few clothes for the DC.... Need to get back on track tomorrow.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

I’ve been tottering along in the background,getting rid of bits and pieces and stuff to CS ..
I don’t count it just stresses me
Anyway been reading and was inspired by a post putting it all in one place ( I think Daisy )
a light went on that I don’t have to do it all at once !
I now have a pristine socks and knickers drawer and all the socks that don’t fit /are uncomfortable have gone ,the next drawer down was todays aim and there is now another bag by the front door ready for the charity shop tomorrow .
i was going to put it in the car but a quick trip to the bin in the bitter cold triggered angina ,so tomorrow it is ( with scarf over nose and mouth )Also taken on board the sunk cost theory which has resulted in more stuff going
Feel I might get there eventually now .21 -
Thanks you Mrs SD for my ⭐️ & 🥇 I shall update my signature shortly..
Keeping you & Mr F in my thoughts @Florenceem 💐
@Muddy_Walker 🤞🏼 for good blood results for you..
Well.. I may have overdone it slightly yesterday, I fell asleep with my head on the kitchen table at 7.15pm so OH promptly ushered me up to bed where I slept till just after 8am.. 😳 body was definitely slow to respond on getting up. B12 is very low at the moment.
OH decided I needed to have a stress free day so took me out to explore a castle and it’s grounds.. lush.. then a cheesy scone and a cuppa at the tea rooms before heading into a beautiful art gallery nearby.. WOW.. had no idea it was even there before!I can honestly say time didn’t exist today and I am thankful for it..
Home now and doing a little digital declutter 😉
Need a nice calming Epsom salt bath, then I’ll read a page or two before getting another early night.. 🥱😴"There's a little witch in all of us"🔮🪬🧿DEBT FREE 06/2018Mrs SD’s Decluttering 2025 ⭐️ 🥇20 -

Cleared a few more emails today and 4 pots of ood vitamin supplements that were in the wrong cupboard and had been forgotten. Decluttering only a few things each day, but I am happy with that.Decluttering Awards: 🏅🏅17

@Muddy_Walker if you want some youtube tutorials then Bella Coco is good and thorough. When I was learning to make things (instead of blankets) I started with Toristory Creations who has made some of the slowest, easiest to follow tutorials ever. your green blob is very fetching 😊17
