2026 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD - our Year of Redistribution

I still remember my Dad telling me, when I got my first car, that they liked to be driven. Since then, even though I don't do many miles - and most of them are short distances - I do try to take it for a blast along a local dual carriageway. It had a trip out just at the weekend 😁

Long time since I last posted. I've had a horrible cold that lasted two weeks and then life just got in the way with not much decluttering. But here's the few things that have been tossed:-

35 - 2 x trading cards

36 -Girls Denim skirt - Vinted

37-40 - 3 x glass bottles + box

41 - Cough syrup from 2018

42 - Small plastic game piece - ebay

43 - Very old mascara dye kit

44 - Packaging from door curtain (recycling)

45 - T shirt (etsy)

46 - Spare game pieces (etsy)

47 - Half a box of suet used up for dumplings (just OOD but still edible)

48 - Jigsaw puzzle (ebay)

49 - Pack of cards (ebay)

50 - Bottle of rancid dressing

51 - Set of vintage Disney toys (etsy)

Not sure how to stop the big spacing between lines now!

#37 unexpectedly one of the drawers in my new glass cabinet - i had put some cans of fizz on their sides and a couple had emptied themselves - no visible hole, very strange - drawer being very well made was pretty much watertight - some interesting moulds! anyway turns out several of the cans were rather out of date so they have been decluttered

#38 & 39 - 5 boxes from the office - best find, 2 incense cones, 1 now burnt.

and tonight was immediately able to locate rosin for dd1 who is due here tomorrow

I'm soorytohear about you mum Suzeesu

My friend has decided she won't be able to go home again, I'm glad she made that decision as it was looking as it would have been made for her. I'm not starting any major sorting in her flat until she confirms with the social worker when we meet on the 10th, her delirium is a lot better but she still has her moments! I went into her flat today to look for cat protection paperwork for her cat and see if I could find her home content insurance paperwork as she can't remember who it is and I should advise them the flat is empty.

I threw away a large bag of paperwork and tackled some of her food cupboards she stopped cooking her main meal in 2022 and there were loads of packets of stuff with use by dates in 2022 / 2023 including chicken, lamb, beef, fish and vegetable stock pots (such a waste). I filled a black sack and washed out her glass storage containers there's still a little more food stuff to do and her freezer. I brought a bag home of in date food which I'll drop of at the food bank tomorrow. I've had three phone calls from her today the first before 8am I may break out my emergency gin before her flat is emptied 🍸🍹🥃🍷🍫🍪🍩🍰 she wants a care home closer to our home town and not one half hour away where she is, hopefully that can be arranged 🤞 then we can look at her new room and work out if she can bring some bits from home her current room is too small for more than clothes.

I don't feed the birds here but have brought home two packs of fat balls and some bird peanuts to put on the free FB page and two boxes of dog biscuits she used to feed the foxes which I'll drop off at a charity which has a pet food bank.

Please add lemon drizzle cake to the carriage!
