2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

111 - 116) 6 playing necklaces gone from DD's drawer that hold her brush, bobbles, hair bows etc
Lots of crud thrown out so not counting those.

However the above 6 out has to be nearly counteracted with 5 bottles of perfume back in that eldest DD has given to her younger sister.

I am not counting a large trifle glass bowl that she tried to palm onto me from her house - I have 1 already so it's in the CS bag.

15/52 - a trip to the CS to drop off a board game, card game, sun hat and a filing case (and a dud pair of shoes in the bin).

I really do love reading your posts Mrs Salad Dodger as they make me smile, giggle and laugh. Its as if there is a bit of mischief in them somewhere. Like in your post above you wrote that your DSis had managed to declutter a cookery book and a set of scales TO YOU then you put the :rotfl:ROTFL on the end of the sentence. Then later in your post you wrote the French decluttering starts in earnest tomorrow with the big grin. Also you wrote saying you were going to list the French stuff with a F in front of the number. Your posts are really quite quirky and a pleasure to read.

Can I ask please if you don't mind, is your username Mrs Salad Dodger because you don't like eating salads so you dodge them?:rotfl: Just that I wondered

Edwink, thank you so much for your post - I read it aloud & we now have a happy DH, DSis, nephew & I am still chuckling :rotfl:

The name was picked as my DH was nicknamed Mr Salad Dodger by his motorcycling friends :rotfl: as when we have buffet meals he always avoided the salad stuff & just chose loads of carbs & meats. I love salad but when it came to choosing a name to post under I thought Mrs Salad Dodger would be apropos :rotfl: My nickname from the motorcycling group was ‘The Sweetie Lady’ but there are too many connotations to that one :rotfl::D Quick explanation - Every May Day 50 or so people bike to France for a 3 day w/e & I always bring a big jar of old fashioned sweets e.g. flying saucers, black jacks, sherbet fountains etc. :rotfl:

Anyway DSis has decluttered a Book to my DH :rotfl:

F3 Book to England

Hi everyone from a beautiful sunny France Not a cloud to be seen & properly warm :rotfl:

The decluttering is going apace DH & DSis have made two Tip runs today - one with the 10+ bags from yesterday, the other with a dozen medium sized boxes full of general detritus. The car is now full of paper & cardboard ready for tomorrow’s first Tip run :j

F201 - F212 Filled Boxes to Tip today
F213 - F220 Bags filled with paper & cardboard to Tip tomorrow

DSis, DH & DNeph were on attic duty - 50 foot by 20 foot & 10 foot high with the entire floor space covered with boxes, bags, suitcases & chests :eek: it is still not empty :eek:

I was on packing duty for the beautiful dinner service which I am inheriting - 2 crates filled (12 settings) but well padded with bubble wrap, nice towels, curtains & fleecy blankets :T + cooking duty - spaghetti bolognese for dinner - yum yum! (Bonus decluttering - mince from freezer & 4 jars emptied, washed & recycled :j )

I then cleared a table & started emptying a double cupboard of crockery & glassware. Getting along fine - a steady pace & leaving it so DSis could make her decisions - keep, Tip or put out for sale WHEN DSis got fed up of shouting at her DS & sort of my DH & decided to ‘help’ me :mad: She tipped out two double cupboards & four drawers :T

Anyway, kudos to my DSis :j:T:rotfl: - She is keeping NOTHING - EVERYTHING is Tip or For Sale :T:rotfl: You could have knocked me down with a feather :rotfl:
I have kept two large roasting tins BUT if they do not fit my ovens I will be donating to cs :rotfl: If they do fit, I will be binning 3 roasting tins :T so a win all around :rotfl:

So tomorrow - Tip runs, clear the space for the sale items (which I will clean & arrange & mark up prices), finish clearing the attic & sorting all the boxes. If my DSis is as brutal as she has been so far we will be quite happy or should that be ECSTATIC :rotfl:

Anyway, need to get DH out of the bath & I need to put the pasta on.

See you tomorrow

A happier MrsSD
