2019 - A Clutter Free Life

I've had a few days away from the decluttering but some nice person has put a cs bag through the door . So as I've still got the suitcase full of clothes ready to go to the cs, I decided to empty it's contents into the bag. The full bag is now ready to go on Friday and the old battered suitcase has been cut up and binned :j. Having the bag has also helped me, as the journey to the cs was proving difficult to organise.
I've also binned a plastic box and another pair of Sunday socks, although I had to prise those off DH's feet :rotfl:.

( they were merino wool and he wore them when he works in his shed, but he already had new replacements waiting in a drawer :mad: )
Dh has finally gone through the photos I wanted to dispose of and they are now waiting to be burnt. Hopefully tonight !!
I still have a lot of cupboards and drawers to go through :eek:. But at least things don't seem quite so daunting now I've started to declutter.

Keep on decluttering and thanks to everyone for the encouragement, especially MrsSD :A

Yesterday I had a mammoth cooking session: tomato soup (from homegrown tomatoes); lamb soup from the rib bones of lamb: steak and kidney stew which was turned into two pies and two puddings (for hubby); beef bourginon for me; a loaf of bread; a batch of homemade tomato ketchup; two fruit cakes. I decluttered most items from the freezer (hubby then bought 7 x 2pints of milk for 20p each and filled and space that I had created).
Whilst I was making the pastry, the food processor died, so this has now been decluttered from my cupboard. It was a secondhand processor from my mother. Also gone is a Pyrex bowl, hubby broke it whilst washing up.
Pair of holey socks
Today I have cleaned and decluttered my car. A broken ice scrapper and a crisp packet was removed. Along with the accessories from my old Tom Tom. I also brought some cds back indoors and placed into the cd tower.

I am getting through my jobs for the week.

Mrs SD You are a lovely person; thanks so much for your good wishes and good will that you spread to all us declutterers. I love your post with all the emojies sparkling and twinkling at us.
Today I used up the last of the paper serviettes/napkins that I bring home , stuff in a drawer to use for wiping up round the sink. Clean ones, of course that I take good care of during the meal. I feel good ,having saved a tiny fraction of a cent. The same drawer is now looking good .
to add
1pile of serviettes
2 pile if plastic corks to bin
3 pile of cork corks to recycling.
Will add to total for next visit.
Met friends today at CS cafeand we congratulated ourselves on books being bought-which will find their way back sometime
Yes, why we hoard is fascinating. We have a squirrel in our garden- a red one and it hoards nuts all day long. Maybe it is a throwback to times of plenty/ times of famine?.

Mrs Salad Dodger please do not be about rising in the afternoon: few people are making homemade soup or cheerleading on MSE in the small hours as you do. :A

Yesterday I pottered about deep cleaning. Today I had errands to run.

Decluttering: One parcel to the Post Office. One dustbin bagful of carrier bags and one bagful of textiles to the supermarket recycling point. Two small electrical items to the charity shop.

Recluttering: Two online orders - FOUR boxes - arrived whilst I was still planning my errands, but there was NO space in my 'hall of shame'! So three of the boxes have been thrown into my old 'room of doom' ... :eek:
