259. coat to CS
260&261 - 2 x sunglasses to CS (won't tell you how many pairs I have left
262. Phone to DP

Been busy with work, DS home revising, travelling to see DP and being visited by DP over recent weeks so I've slowed down on the decluttering front. Got a bit of time over this coming weekend and Easter so hoping to make some headway then.

In the meantime:

263. dvd - CS
264. manual - recycling

Morning All, beautiful morning here, so want to get outside and declutter the grass, as haven't done much else the past few days, other than gather up "stuff" for the CS to collect.

Feel I haven't done much but going over what I have done, it is quite a lot for me. Got this bug now
(the decluttering bug :rotfl:) and can't wait to have it all neat, tidy and a place for everything :j.

Going back to work probably before the long Easter weekend, so will slow down quite a bit

Next is the Gory Hole (well 1 of them, anyway :rotfl: aka - pantry cupboard that holds all my diy "stuff", this that and the "other"

6 parcels posted yesterday, and nothing for today - so a break for me, to get stuck in

Yes, but I'd rather have an excuse to eat ice cream and custard (I start off with lukewarm soup and lots of cold stuff to help with the pain, and slowly work my way to better nutrition - as the graft failed last time, I'm going to stick with liquids for at least a month this time as I don't want to take any unnecessary risks).



So pleased to hear that you've finally got to the point of decorating. If you're anything like me, once it's done, you'll just sit and admire it

:rotfl: That made me laugh. I keep turning around to look at the two completed walls. I felt dreadful earlier so stopped painting. I have two walls and some woodwork to complete tomorrow.

I will continue with the decluttering/cleaning after collecting the little fella. I do still feel that the more I do the more I notice.

Yesterday afternoon I was looking for a belt I have lost. I ended up sorting out my wardrobe and then emptying the cupboard in the kitchen. I have three bags of stuff to sort later. It's strange how the unplanned busts of clearing make more difference than planned ones. I've still not found the belt though.:mad:

Have another fab day of decluttering everyone.:T

Savvy - I would just tell him a deadline if he hasn't got it by then put it on ebay as a job lot or something or get someone to come and take it away. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks starting feel human again, been a miserable week for sure! Oh it's going on Ebay etc as soon as I can sort like for like, so much electricians bits all over, nobody will want it if it's got football trophies mixed in with it etc. He had no sense of organisation at all!!!

I moved in with a friend in 2017 after a spell touring in a camper van. Sadly he died towards the end of last year and the bullying, snotty executors are harrassing and hounding me to get out. I have found somewhere to live and have been moving my stuff out one car load per day as I don't have the strength to do anymore (post cancer treatment knackeredness).

What I have been asking myself is where this stuff has come from? When I moved in with the stuff from my van it was virtually done in one go. How the devil did I end up with over a dozen car loads of stuff in one year????

Arrg I know right! Where does it all come from :eek: So sorry about your situation, that's flipping mean to hound you after you've just lost him :(


Sooo missed two opportunities for charity bags this week, but have found a shelter that needs bric-a-brac to sell, so need to get some sorted for that.
I found a few more pointless receipts = 1
Chucked another giant cardboard box out = 1

Today has been a battle, a touch of CBA and feeling like I am the only one trying to do anything which I know is not true. That black dog is a b*tch when she strikes.
