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 💪

How did you go with table Utopia? Hope the cosmetic clean up goes well Shaz Lapses & 1 step, please get the rest you need.
A good mate of ours visiting today, in the morning we worked in garden, he whipper snipped, I mowed, now we are watching the footy. Not much opportunity for decluttering inside but was able to off load onto mate a pair of shoes, 2 bedside lamps, a bike helmet & a bike tyre repair kit. This meant a plastic tub was emptied, hoping my sewing stuff will fit in it.

@utopia Making a start by moving 1 or 2 things might not seem much but it will be a start. Perhaps 1 thing 1st October, 2 the 2nd, 3 the 3rd etc until job done.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help
@Shaz51 - wow. 5 Kids and yet she has time to make 6 containers of soup. Did you get a container too? Might be nice with an upset tummy to have some homemade soup with some toast for tea. @Former-Member. I like your thinking. I took off my two dressing gowns that were on the table. So that's done. I'll take my meds off there soon and put them with my other meds. Then do more tomorrow.

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help
Hi @utopia, good to get the dressing gowns off the table 👍. Do you have a 'winter bag' to put them? Could you give one away? My mum had x6 winter Dressing gowns hanging on the bathroom door last I was there. I have three - thick winter, a light winter, and a silk summer, so guess I shouldn't talk lol Are you ok Utopia? 💜💕
@Onestepup61, how are you? Any declutter projects jumping out at you this week. Its hard to stay focused I know.
Thanks for well wishes @Former-Member, @Shaz51, @soul, @Faith-and-Hope, @Kurra - I see you there. I really need it right now. 💜🌼💜💜🌼💜
I did enjoy my shower today, but just after I got home today, not even touching the hot water taps, I heard water running fast and the hot water system was aquieting hi pressure boiling water from one of its pipes (?pressure valve), I tweeked everything andcmot sure if its empty or full, so I turned it off and I tied to call electrician back, who of cause isn't available. Bit disappointing.
Work was really busy and the boss was there for a change, and pushy (surprising given she knows I'm sick). Think she realised after we did the till and saw that I doubled thursday's takings in half the time, doing all the serving and shop front myself. Feel sorry for the male worker, she really pushed him today. He quietly threatens to leave every week because of her. He's a bit trapped because 'work-for-the-dole' Centrelink force him to go and there's not many options in a small town.
Anyone else getting together for the football tonight? I dont get tv reception, maybe we can start a 'footy thread' - I l ght leaen something.
Wondering how @Adge is? And @Appleblossom, @Former-Member, @Zoe7, and so many old friends here ?
