Previous thread is almost full. I'm back on it, have cleared the corner of doom in my bedroom today. Next stop is sorting the eBay/chazza bag in the conservatory...

I’m feeling a little bit smug today. Not only have I beat my daily steps target, I’ve also cleared out the dresser and a tall cupboard in the dining room. I’ve only filled one bin bag ( there is a box to go to the charity shop to), but at least both cupboards are now tidy and I can see what is in them.

Things I’ve found and didn’t know i had.
3 huge bags of tea lights, that will last me for the next 10 years.
30 Christmas voltives from when I was going through my Yankee candle obsession about 10 years ago. They smell revolting.
8 sets of placemats. Only 2 are full sets, so I’ve binned the rest.
Lots and lots of serving bowls, which I forgot I had, so have bought several more in the last couple of years.

Tea lights. Crikes I think there's a packet of 24 in our dresser I'd completely forgotten about.🙈

I have done two coats of paint to cover the leak stain in my toilet. Today I painted one coat of paint over the area to match it back to the walls. I’ll do a second coat tomorrow and that’s one crappy job (that’s been sitting around finished)

I have also thrown out some old dressing bits so that’s a whole furniture unit emptied.

My next crappy job is to rake my back lawn and sew new grass seed. If I time to aerate it I will be that’s not likely.
Crappy job two is to backup everything on my computer. I’ve been meaning to do it for ages. Yesterday I looked in some folders and deleted some stuff.
