SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

Keeping my smaller clothes is holding to my promise to myself to get my life back @Kurra ..... but my boundary is that I don’t buy any more in the smaller size until I am the smaller size ..... and all the clothes have to be in reasonable order and have a place ..... like everything else in the house. They are one of the things still in order and place ......

My mental health worker was sick today and couldn't start my session on helping my desk with documents and filing.
However I spent some time devising the outline ofhow I will file the documents currently in boxes.

I am still waiting for my furnuture to arrive and do not intend to unpack any more boxes until there is a specific place for each item.

At the moment I am in a holding pattern while I wait for the furniture to arrive.

Hey @Former-Member wondering if you are still dealing with the hoard abroad.

Bummer @Awpgirl but you have been able to research a system that may work for you in relation to your paperwork which in itself is progress.

@Kurra I had never been a clothes person, most of my clothes were only fit for the garden and not worth keeping. It is only since I started to self care and found a style that actually suits me that my clothing is nicer. Have you sorted your living arrangements? Flat or house?

@utopia how are you traveling? Still in holding pattern? Able to move 2 things a day?

@Former-Member getting the fireplace cleared for winter is a practical goal. Just checking the stuff you put in the attic is not near chimney...

@Shaz51 I think the spare bed was one of your projects, how is it going?

@ideaslady how are you going?

@Former-Member any advance on your wardrobes, I am a fan of those black velvet hangers available from cheap shops. Have even given some as gifts.

@Determined has there been further progress on your side if the room

@Appleblossom I am not sure if you were working on the pantry, hope things have settled a bit for you

@TAB not to late to rearrange and label to make things easier to find.

@1stepup61 hope this year you find the strength.

At our place the 3 things a day continues, if I miss a day I try and do 6 the day after to make up for it. 1/2 way through clearing drawer no 2 of the 6 in the chest of drawers in the spare room. Evidence of rodent activity and I have decided that once all drawers are cleared the unit is going into the shed and the space can be better utilised with some cube shelving.

Well I found a phone charger lead after looking for days then giving up. I had put it somewhere funny when went away last week
Cockroaches under control as of couple weeks ago @Former-Member
.. I will get the boxes done. One day. Just keeping worst of stuff under control /binning things

No clearing @Former-Member. Too hot to move. Yes I'm still in holding pattern, but at least I don't think I'm adding to the mess.
I too have found evidence of mice in my drawers. Very upsetting

"hoard abroard" @Former-Member, easier when its other people's stuff. Just packed up x12 shopping bags full of old VCR's / videos from under my bed. 1/2 filled the big street bin.

Vegging out under the air con here @utopia @Former-Member thinking it might be 6 items tomorrow.

Donated the craft stuff I got out yesterday to some friends with a number of kids so will be put to good use. Also gave some good wooden coat hangers away after replacing most of Mr D's wardrobe with the black velvet ones, with another lot ready for op shop.

Our spare bed and room still far too cluttered for any visitors @Shaz51.
