2019 - A Clutter Free Life

I've been using up a lot more toiletries, I'm really running them down now.

I'm going through my wardrobe again and getting rid of anything that doesn't fit. I will drop them off at a chazzer next week. I'm putting in a necklace and a watch I don't want too.

Someone mentioned tampons as well, have you tried a mooncup? I love mine, it is so much easier and works out a lot cheaper and less space to take up

I loved my mooncup chocolatelover. It's no longer needed now since the chemo sent me into menopause. I always used to feel much cleaner using it. To be honest I can understand why people can be put off but it was amazing.

I do have a mooncup but found it too much effort to keep putting it in and out so went back to tampons.

I find getting it out really difficult especially if I'm out somewhere. I should try and use it while I'm home during the day.

I know what you mean it did take me a while to get used to mine I only really take mine out and empty it at home now because it holds a lot. Although if I am heavy I will take it out in public but find having a bottle of water in my bag helps to give it a quick clean

Yes, a woman I know said when she is out and about she looks for a disabled toilet as they have more space to manoeuvre!

I did have a nightmare in a very tiny restaurant loo. I had to put one leg up against the wall to get it out!:eek::rotfl:

Ive been AWOL! :eek: Welcome actually ADTWL - absent due to work load :rotfl:
But was the rowing club's regatta yesterday so gave two items to the raffle, and returned their big glass bowl I've had for ages :j

However, my brother bought me an Echo Show ;ast week which is just a useless thing for me I think, especially as I want to move away from Wifi and tech now 5G is coming. So it's still unopened, and really not sure what to do with it yet Haha really dislike more clutter coming into the house these days!!

Evening MrsSD and fellow declutterers, it's been a long time since I posted on here. Back on the decluttering trail again ahead of our daughter's bedroom being redecorated and recarpeted next month. She will be 8 this October but the decor in her room is more suitable to a baby. So have been to the tip twice this weekend throwing out a Winnie the Pooh toy storage unit which had been well and truly hammered by wear and tear along with clothes which had been well worn. Got a charity bag of old clothes to be dropped off next week and several bags of paper has gone in the recycling bin. It's been a team effort with our daughter as my wife struggles with anxiety and depression so she finds all of this sorting out difficult. Planning to be on holiday while the decorating is bring done. Hopefully our daughter will like her new room more than she currently does and also that she keeps on top of the tidying ;-) let's see. Have missed posting on here so will keep in touch more often, just need that motivation and support every so often that I'm heading in the right direction.

Lots of tidying and putting like with like (papers) so I can go through them methodically. Home looking so much better even though there is still a long, long way to go.

1 x plastic card wallet - bin
10 x items of paperwork - recycling/shredding
