Anyone?
We had a nice little thread going, no rushing, just sharing, discussing, and encouraging each other. .
I've fallen out the loop, but still have a long way to go.

That's how I think that maybe I have ADHD , I never get an amazing lot done as I seem to make mess while decluttering its a very slow process tbh, but I am going in the right way ,they can put on my gravestone,,at least she finally decluttered

Yes she's good for me anyway, clutterbug,she's an organiser that has ADHD,,,,

That's interesting. I often wonder if I have ADHD which is why I'm so disorganised.

Hmmm. She's a bit irritating. And far too happy...

Is that something else I can watch so I can procrastinate with my decluttering?

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 21:14:18

Is clutterbig good?
I've not heard of it.

Shel1951 Thu 16-Jul-26 20:51:47

The word decluttering lives even in my nightmares, I always seem to be decluttering but still in a mess, tonight after watching Clutterbug o youtube I start again,I won't sleep until I have cleared a bookcase that has everything but books...

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 19:31:51

Ahh, at least it srill does fit. smile
You'd better keep a hold of it now, in case it shrinks more.

JaneJudge Thu 16-Jul-26 19:05:50

The ring is mine. It only fits on my little finger now 🙈

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 18:54:11

I also found this under my sofa.
Haven't the foggiest idea how or why it ended up there. It's about 5ft long!

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 18:51:25

Ive just filled up a box full of window film (about 20 rolls!) and put them into a space under the shelf in Brian.
Now pondering if I really need thst many rolls. blush
They dont
They don't look particularly nice.

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 14:33:27

That's great!
Do you know who it belongs to?

oh I found a gold ring this morning

Excellent!

All I really found was a 3 piece adaptor.

JaneJudge

well my larder cupboard is done and the under stairs cupboard
I suppose I should stop whinging. It's just you tidy one bit and then another bit looks a mess

Tell me about it.
The bathroom has had to be used as a very temporary storage place.

The exciting bits are what keeps me bouyed up (as a rule!)
The fruits of your labours are about to pay off.

I'm at the worst of my decluttering now - the cupboard which is used as a shed. , so all boring stuff.
Nails, hammers, filler, paint, drills.

MissAdventure Thu 16-Jul-26 14:18:35

Well , I started this one, not knowing another had been used while I was away.
It seems to be going along quite nicely, with people popping in and out, as and when.

fancythat Thu 16-Jul-26 13:58:18

Am I right in thinking we are using this as the new general decluttering thread?

As I said on the old one, I am at the exciting part now.

The bedroom which has always been the worst, is getting done.
2 desks being moved out.
Furniture being moved around, and a new set of bunk beds being put in[in about 1 month], for gc.

A lot of the stuff belongs to 2 of my kids.
They will be getting boxes of stuff!

I would hope it gets redecorated while we are at it, but wont hold my breath[DH may well say no].

I knew it, well I know me. I put 6 heavy black bags of fabric stash into my car overnight and overnight started to think about the comfy tencel nighties I made in the past and the viscose and mind the maker lengths that were good for dresses and tops. I will find a use for the fabrics that I rescued, in fact one is draped over a big cushion in my living room. Destined to be a cushion cover at the very least

The equivalent of 5 bags went to be distributed to society this morning and tbh I am glad my sleep was disturbed. Reminds me of moving house and decluttering, my shopping trolley in the hall was very useful, while I decided if the contents should stay or go
