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... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Yeah, you're probably right @Former-Member. I should give her credit for thinking of me in her offer but after I get the videos, I can't see us reconnecting. That's life I guess.
How are you today? The asthma / allergy thing any better? Glad that your temperature has gone down.

Awwww @Former-Member. Don't forget your birds. And maybe the naughty cat will drop by too.
I accidentally bought canary food for the budgie a while back. He didn't seem to mind and at last the box is finished. I started him on the proper budgie seed a couple of days ago and he's hardly touched it. Maybe he prefers to be a canary. He doesn't seem to like the oats which the canary seed didn't have.

Good on you @Former-Member for continuing with the decluttering. My bathroom drawers could use some attention. Kitchen is okay except for the cupboard with all the plastic shopping bags etc. I shall make that a mission before next rubbish colllection day. Mostly my daughter's purchases. The courier came four times last week with stuff for her, mostly crafty things she ordered. She doesn't take after me in that realm but my mother was very creative.
So happy to hear that your mood has lifted too. Keep it up!!! 👍🏼😀
Hope your spag bol was salvageable. A bit tricky trying to cook like you're camping. My hotplates never get hot enough. I can't boil water to cook pasta. Has to be done in the microwave. Have complained about them but haven't had any luck. We don't eat a lot of meat so browning stuff isn't a big issue. I do have a grill / sandwich toaster type appliance that I use sometimes to cook with.
