    Not much decluttering here this past week or so. I've got an extra job for 2 weeks so I've been fit for nothing by the time I get home.
    After next week I'll be bck on the band wagon though and getting things sorted for Christmas.

    I did manage to get rid of another black bag of stuff to the charity shop, and have sold a few bits on ebay so not all has stopped. It's just slower than usual.

    1. SMALL TASKS WILL BE DONE ASAP
    2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
    3. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
    4. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’
    5. IF I WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH, WOULD I BUY THIS?
    6. BE LIKE A POSTAGE STAMP - STICK TO ONE THING UNTIL YOU GET THERE

    Thursday, rain, rain, 2 hours of dry & then the heavens opened. DH went to pick up the hand crank sewing machine that he won the bid on Bay of E. I went out for my hearing test & am biting the bullet & getting hearing aids :( Expensive but I am in the fortunate position that I can treat myself. I am so looking forward to being able to have conversations without having to keep saying pardon :rotfl: or even worse just winging it & hoping I haven’t given offence by mishearing :eek: Also popped into the butchers for lamb loin chops & B**ts for a lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara & face cream - no excuse now not to get rid of ALL my ancient make up - a project for tomorrow;)
    Bacon sarnies for DH & DSis & I had egg sandwich. Dinner was cheesey beans on toast with apple & rhubarb crumble with custard for afters - yummy 🤤

    3787 - 3797 Three drinks tins, glass bottle & metal cap, 3 food cans, plastic pot & lid, 2 lots of cardboard packaging, plastic tub & lid - Recycled
    3798 - 3800 Bag of kitchen detritus, plastic packaging, plastic tray - Binned

    Well done Happy Kitties :T

    Well Done never too old :T You probably have enough of your own clutter without holding on to your DD’s stuff :rotfl:

    Well Done Rootle :T still on track :T

    I think your hubby is taking decluttering way too seriously Gem-gem :rotfl:

    Well Done IrishRose12 :T not only actual decluttering but decluttering the potential stress of not having enough pennies for Christmas :T

    See you later fellow declutterers ;)

    Screaming!!!!! Because of back I got my elec scooter out to test, seems to have flat battery. Not used for over a year and then just as testing. Charged over night but nothing works, indicator does not light up so have got engineer coming today (de-clutter around £30). If needs new battery, I have just checked around on net, and could be around £400. Need to make decisions. Was bought 2nd hand but it is only 4 yrs old. As I said Screaming. Back is finally showing signs of improvement.

    Hello!


    4 - Baby gate listed for sale - was for DD's bedroom, but never used in the end as she is too scared of the dark to get out of bed in the night lol


    Baby gate sold, and collected yesterday.


    In: Gifts for Xmas


    5 - DH birthday cards still cluttering up the sides
    6 - Some craft/artwork from DD (can't keep it all)


    And.....I was thinking yesterday how I'd like to blitz the living room tomorrow, and take the cover off the sofa and give it a wash etc. But I knew I'd have to get DH on board, which isn't always easy. Well, last night I got home and HE suggested it to ME! Yes!
