2026 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD - our Year of Redistribution

@TC77 the lizards are a mix of metal, acrylic and ceramic.

Didn’t do anything today as hands too ouchy still. DH Decluttered five mugs woohoo! I sorted through his track pants and have two brand new pairs for Vinted plus some vest tops of mine which are too big now.

Not looking forward to the forecast heat. Air con is all set up ready….
Like others, I am not getting notifications either - must be a glitch.

Enjoy your evening all, sweet dreams xx

dND - I am not getting notifications.

Very warm here.

Did a lot of sorting in the large ROD. Still so much to do to be ready for Monday when I hope J will paint the ceiling.

Lots of stuff going down to the charity shop - my shopping trolley is loaded.

@dND I'm not receiving regular notifications on bookmarked threads either. Only if one of my posts is quoted or someone has @ me. 🤔

dND

@Yorkie1 I'm guessing it's the same for me as the only notification I've had today is yours. 🤔

@TC77 would it be helpful if you were given permission to move things straight to the CS? It takes time, effort & energy to sell stuff, I recently deleted 3 boxes of things from Vinted & donated it as it was just too much for me.

TC77

@suzeesu2000 thanks , they are fab!

@floss, thanks , most things do go straight to the cs but realise some things i attribute too much value to some. I also realise i feel I should use up my stock of packaging.

Well done with the donations. I take a couple of bags a week at the moment and today came back with a coffee pot ( rare for me these days) It may only stay a while and I took it off and back on the shelf a few times :) it also reminded me that the cs need bubble wrap but probably not the other packaging..neighbours might though

I have things set aside for dd1 to check and if she doesn't want them they will go to cs and same for dd2 when she's home. Permission given with your help Floss to myself to give more straight to cs.

Bbq picked up - some success with freecycle

Party poppers binned

Papers recycled

Book and 2 glass bowls in cs bag

Fabric to cs bag

Have put bedding aside - i think unused single duvets etc but will count when they go out as they don't go to cs. I'm also trying to use up things which seem to have grow in stock - toiletries.

Just a quick update before I go to sleep . In the true spirit of redistribution. I have tackled my craft hamper box of card making stuff and made up 64 cards to sell for charity using card old birthday cards and envelopes as well as plastic bags. Refused to buy anything new so xutodd cards down to fit envelopes. 64 card made a very satisfying couple of days. 🙂

Floss

I've given excess toiletries and cleaning products to my local foodbank in the past to get them out of my home.

Friday: woke up as I heard DH talking on the phone to his niece S (cousin of M) Very shocking & sad news as M passed away suddenly, from a heart attack, in the early hours of this morning 😢 despite the best efforts of doctors & nurses who worked for over an hour to resuscitate her. M was 9 days short of her 62nd birthday. We are all in shock as just yesterday afternoon DH had received a photo from G of her DSis M in her hospital bed, showing her sitting up & smiling whilst at the same time looking a little bit annoyed. She will be sorely missed 🥺

It has been a lovely summer’s day with a high of 27°C, slight S breeze & a low of 14°C. DSis did her laundry. I have now knitted 4 scarves in feathers& fan stitch see pics

Dinner was salmon, boiled potatoes & peas for DH & me whilst DSis had pork ribs in a BBQ sauce. Wudupa 

877 - 878 Kitchen recycling, drinks cans - recycled 

879 Kitchen detritus binned
