GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap sorry abut the cross post I asked a question you’d already answered. Paperwork is a subject SandandSea are very familiar with - I think we are clutter twins. I filed mine a year ago and shredded some of the older stuff. It’s made such a big difference. I hope you enjoyed your rest on Friday Greig just make sure your family are trained to throw away their own toilet rolls!
SandandSea does olbas oil go out of date? I will use things until they get to the end but as you know I’m sure I ate some pickles were about 8 years past their date and I’m still alive to tell the tale.
raspberry I’m only on page 19 of the thread but I will be anticipating much progress in your study (but don’t kill yourself if you’re looking after a little one). purplefrog I rarely finish things but being 50% there is better than being 0% there so I try not to be a perfectionist as that prevents me from starting in the first place.
Tailsoftheemanypaws that is sooooo cute. How do you get anything done with those little cuties hanging around? I’d be cuddling them all day. (Disclaimer: I have never had a kitten I assume cuddling is ok?)
peridot awesome work on the wardrobe, I hope you had a lovely lunch and your grey hairs are no more.
gassylady I would get rid of them. Assuming they are plastic, things have changed with more bpa friendly children’s crockery so I’m sure your children would probably want new stuff anyway.
penelope well done on the blanket box. How lovely to have more space.
tailsofthemanypaws honestly! How wasteful. I would have drunk it!
OK just seen greenwillows post. Maybe I wouldn’t! Laughing at it’s new found drain clogging characteristics.
peridot I see decluttering and weightloss as very similar processes. It’s about gradual lifestyle changes for me. I might have a look at the Pinch of Nom books but SandandSea will remember the endless conversations we’ve had about how hard it is to get rid of cookery books even though we find most recipes online.
MunchMunch it will look less cluttered! Focus on the bits people see if it gives you a boost. Like window ledges and the tops of bookcases.
Welcome sunnytikka and stickmangate (I used to love that book) and welcome back nocutsnobuttsnococunuts.
Wow that was an epic post. You’ve all been so busy. I am still keeping to the one thing a day but also doing lots of other stuff. I have painted the wood in the spare room 3 times but the doors seem patchy. I am wondering if I should have sanded them first? Should I sand them lightly now and do another coat?
Today I’m throwing away two packets of coffee beans that went off ages ago. I had a coffee machine that broke and tried to give them away about two years ago and then forgot about them.
I am also seeing if I can get an old fence in my car to take to the tip. It technically isn’t really decluttering as I had a new fence fitted but it is in front of my house looking a mess. While I’m at the tip I’ll also be recycling some old electrical wires that have been hanging around for ages.
