2026 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD - our Year of Redistribution

Morning all. A few empty pots blown about garden but nothing major here. A couple of frogs completed to start the day. Some of yesterday's washing finished off in dryer and the rest on clothes horse. I did manage to vacuum most of the bungalow before bed and next job is to mop the kitchen and loo floors. Bathroom still has hideous smelly wool carpet. I do wonder what is underneath as I guess there may be old tiles or Lino. I may investigate after my holiday. I started looking through France stuff last night and will actually start packing today although DS2 borrowed my small suitcase last week and I'll need to get it back. DIL is packing a case for DGS4.
I have gone back to serious recording of calories and drinking lots of water. Tips on how to get blood sugar down fast would be welcome. Sox has been unusually friendly and keeps coming for fuss. He is funny when I have weetabix as he harasses me for the bowl. I offer him milk in a dish but he only likes it with weetabix left overs.
Looking for something last night resulted in a drawer being cleared out and things tidied on the desk - I didn't find what I was looking for but paper went out. I have a hair appointment later at old village so I may well go early and take myself for a walk in the woods beforehand. I will put bag of plastics in porch now as then I can drop it off in co-op and get some fruit and bread.

Morning, on the book front has anyone used software to list books? Those brought in from parents are old and while many only pennies and a few pounds some are first edition of early/ mid 20thC and in good condition ao advised to list and send to see if any worth going to sell.
Looking at using voice to text and then apparently Libib and Calibre can then put into format to go into a spreadsheet ( typing is quite painful after a while for me). Love to hear if anyone has used either or another means to do this.
Found i left yogurt and cheese in shopping back overnight. Made some yogurt pancakes as apparently safe way to eat but turned out rather unpleasant. Think it was spelt or some other odd flour which is abit old. Decided to throw out all old flour use by 2022 and 2023.
Hope everyone stays as dry and cosy as possible.
