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 💪

I'm very sad to hear that @Shaz51 That would have been a shock for you.
Thanks @Former-Member I just need some positive distractions with the little time that's left (before bed).
Something that does not sound like F (fence), or W (work), or T (tradesmen)...

Today I DECLUTTERED - packed a box of books I no longer want, to go to charity, and packed a bag of goodies to send off to my 4yr old niece.
The drawers got another coat of paint today, gloss finish so waiting for that to dry.
Managed to also rearrange plant pots on thecback verandah, put up a tarp to block the hot afternoon sun - real happy with that. Climbing up & down the ladder is challenging, and valancing at the top 😨 but better than I was last year.
Pruned back the big ginger plant and my fav deep purple daisies too.
Only about 2hrs work but I've been bushed since.
Hope you all are OK today. Loads of distractions I imagine, with Christmas preparations & gatherings... Can't believe its only 2wks away.
I'm having b th s feeling of impending doom, like WW3 is about to breaknout. Trying to talk myself down, that its only anxiety or some 'imagined' or 'cPTSD mind stronghold. But ya never know really.
