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... 💙💜💙💜💙💜💙

Well, I gave away a pair of mag glasses, chucked a x2 old travel bag (trailer for tip), coffee pot. Buy
Yesterday I mowed lawn and gardened and check cked some old pots.

Are you OK Darcy? Not angry with me too?

Spring is nearly over, but think the thread will stay active as a homemaker, HOARDER / D'CLUTTER

@Former-Member My visitors sister is a hoarder ( big time ) you are amazing doing what you are doing. I've been part of this ladies world for a long time now, and the agony of trying to let go of the smallest things is so hard for her. I can only imagine what goes on inside her head. No small achievment for you, an inspiration for sure.

Thanks @Maggie, for 'getting it' I just collapsed my daughters bed Tuesday, doesn't feel right, wanna put it back up. I waited till my only visitor dropped by to help (I don't cry / am stronger around ppl) but she got allergy to dust. Its all just very hard. Its part of a double bunk. Might go dump it all on her dads front lawn, he never helped with anything, even the headstone. Oops, don't mean to go there.
I'm off to wotk / the shop shortly. Hope I don't bring something home. So impulsive 😞

So hard @Former-Member re the bed. Makes it so final. I do that strong around visitors thing also, then collapse when they leave. As I only have one visitor, like you, it's not that often. Hope the shop today has some good moments, let us know if you bring something home....💗💗😍

Hi @Former-Member

I love your spirit-bear avatar -

I have had you in my thoughts - I am not up to much and getting off-line now- using the lap top is making me hotter on a hot day

I know you had your daughter's 20th - I hope the day wasn't too bad -

I love you my dear friend - yesterday I started writing here but my computer was on go-slow and I am not much better -

Sending hugs

Dec

Re: SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Thanks @Maggie, did I bring something home? No, BUT - staff are allowed to put things aside out back for later & I found swimmers - new one piece to fit my XL size bum, the elastic has gone in my old ones.

Real estate just rang - a young couple from the city visiting tomorrow. to look at houses to renovate (like mine). So hopefully I won't be in too much pain after working this morning, to clean up in time. Just to something strong 😞

Rangvthe Charity truck to come collect but just missed their fortnightly run. But that gives me 2wks I guess.

I'm thinking (do that sometimes lol) that I should just pack, pretend I'm moving, cause I'm not using most of it. Accept maybe... (there I go again)
