2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

I've got a friend coming round this afternoon who is going to take:
8 jars of marmelade
16 empty jam jars from me.

Does anyone know if you can put photos in with paper to be recycled?

As previously mentioned,I have a cleaning/decluttering business.I have always had a constant supply of cleaning supplies,ie when floor cleaner,or polish are on special (or I am at a pound shop),I buy up.Well,when I was sorting out a box of cleaning supplies about 3 months ago,I found a surfeit of bathroom cleaner.Most bottles were still sealed,though labels had lost their glue and worn off.A few had been opened,and they contents smelt a bit "off".I couldn't use them on a paying customer's house.But I havent been able to bring myself to open ,and pour down the sink,11 bottles of cleaning fluid.I thought I might use them for my own house.Maybe.Feels better than pouring it down the sink.Before I came to this conclusion,I did pour 2 bottles down the sink and recycled the bottles,so I am counting those


1251-1252:2bottles of cleaning fluid,poured down sink and bottles recycled

1. IF I NOTICE SOME SMALL TASK NEEDS DOING - I WILL DO IT IMMEDIATELY

2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I WENT IN - WITHOUT HIDING THE CLUTTER EXCEPT for the wardrobe room which is currently the storage room (sr)

3. THE LAST WASHING UP OF THE DAY WILL BE PUT AWAY BEFORE I GO TO BED

Saver-upper, sorry to hear about your customer/friend and what a wonderful thing to do :A Even without a cleaning/decluttering business I get tempted by cleaning products :rotfl:

Marmiterules, the letter that was emailed to her originally said 24 hrs :eek: It appears they pumped various things into her including something to make her heart race & didn’t want caffeine to interfere with the results. They got back about 9:45 & she has felt ‘grotty’ all day:( :T to your friend - I bet that created quite a bit of kitchen cupboard space & must be nice to know that the jars & lids will be put to use - or is your friend ‘a collector’ :rotfl: You are putting me to shame with your decluttering Re the photographs - as far as I am aware they are not recyclable as they are full of chemicals :eek:

Wanna Bee Free, well done - I think the first lot of stuff out of your home is the hardest but now ‘you are officially a declutterer’ :T:T

Molillie, I stayed up all night to make sure DSis was on time :rotfl: She was really looking forward to a full English & a large mug of tea but was sadly disappointed as all the cafes were closed She had to wait till she got home & I made her a cuppa :rotfl: Great idea re timings for tasks :T mind if I borrow that :rotfl:

:T Rose Crow, well done on keeping things moving out :T

Guineapigsqueaks, at least DS let you in his room - I like veg it that he ‘supervised’ - was any actual assistance forthcoming? :rotfl:

abbe89, decluttering left, right & centre :T As long as you can see ‘space’ I wouldn’t worry about the numbers :rotfl:

somerandom, happy holiday

After their early start, DH & DSis spent most of the day napping :rotfl:

After staying up all night I thought I would go to bed but instead, I made cheese savouries, vacuumed all downstairs, did two loads of washing which dried on the whirligig as it was a perfect drying day, did clothing repairs, folded & put away clothes as well as watching all 3 Motorcycle races :rotfl: Still no decluttering & still haven’t decided where to start

Re my three mantras: aired & made bed; washed up; worktops washed down; cleaned oven; general tidying

The day to day decluttering generated

C593 - C596 Non recyclable - 2 plastic trays, plastic tray & packaging, plastic packaging - Binned
C597 - C600 Tin can, milk carton, glass bottle, glass jar & metal lid - Rinsed & recycled

May your decluttering mojo continue to be strong :rotfl:
