weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Welcome to a weekend check-in. I have some tedious paperwork to complete, and I said jokingly to my sibling on the phone "I will probably end up tidying half the house rather than do this paperwork". Only it turns out I need a specific document, and I have lost it ~somewhere~ in this house, and that's not actually a joke any more.

I'll ramble a little in the comments like I usually do, but please check in with your challenges and successes and surprises, and let's cheer each other on a bit.

I really, truly need to get a few boxes of stuff OUT of the house to make room for other things. The logistics have been just annoying enough that I keep failing to do it, but it's really starting to drive me up the wall so I need to do SOMETHING to problem solve it, even if it's not actually getting the things out tonight.

Wishing you luck in figuring out a Plan :-)

So much commiseration on the annoying logistics.

Once it is done it will be DONE.

Oh, I feel you on this. We have a piece of furniture we have been trying to rehome for a couple of years (people want it, but not enough to collect it) and it is in the front hall and gathering more 'to be rehomed' crap. Good luck on finding a starting point.

I hate that stage of decluttering. Life got a lot easier when I found out that you could book a collection from the British Heart Foundation.

When I first did it, they would show up and just take anything else you had ready to go, but now it's the stuff you booked them to take and no other.

But they will come for a furniture item, plus a bag of clothes, or whatever
