SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

The ALL-YEAR-ROUND job of DECLUTTERING and CLEANING our homes is daunting. Especially for those of us who HOARD, or struggle with depression, and decisions, anxiety & other MI. I'm so challenged in this way so reaching out for support. Maybe start an Declutterers Army 💪

If you suffer the same challenge or have some great suggestions - type away... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

I'm impressed @Adge Been thinking it's time I used up these things too, including freezer food due. You've inspired me. They say we should clean out and scrub kitchen cabinets cople of times a year for this reason. Good job! 👍
@TAB have you had a lot of rain re grass? Well, at lead you got the bins done 👍

Thanks so much @Former-Member

Yes keeping on Top of Things is proving a Big Challenge @Former-Member @TAB Thanks so much for your Support & encouragement everyone.

I just spent several hours this afternoon - Fixing Reticulation pipes (replacing bits of pipe, doing new connection.

I'm not very confident with my Polypipe Retic - Fixing or maintaining.

My Polypipe Reticulation System (manual/ No Automatic Timer Controller) - Was my 40th Birthday Present from my Dad (& from my ex-Wife).

Dad has been Gone (passed Away) for 5 years now.

The Retic has sustained a lot of Damage from Tradesmen Slashing it with their Whipper Snippers, plus Postman running over it with his Motorbike.

Plus it's getting fragile (breaking) from Sun exposure - That makes pipe Brittle & break.

I need to Water my Plants Much More - with Reticulation Working again.

So far it isn't working well, there are so many holes & Leaks - I need to Save Dad's Reticulation System.

It's one of the few things I have Left from Dad (& from my Ex).......

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Your dad would be proud of you sounds @Adge Just gotta keep at it. Easier now the weather has cooled down. Good to see you chatting more 🤗
@TAB - do you feel fatigued re bins or just procrastination? I, didn't realise the severity of this clotting illness on your stamina. Not good. Maybe prioritise paid help at times like this. Steady goes it 🤗

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

was nearly sleeping around clock couple months ago @Former-Member walking back to normal if dont try to increase it too quickly. Prob just dont really want to mow lawn just look at it and think tomorrow every time its really high and when mow it like that its an effort prob dont want to push my luck, guess its not that important to me , even if it's annoying. Anyway have appts tomorrow maybe find out more. GP said think I have some marker that means have to take blood thinners forever Who knows
