weekend check-in

[rmc28]

It's Friday, it's the weekend for me, and I've probably definitely got too many goals for it, but here's some themes and a check-in for everyone.

• ongoing decluttering - I actually filled our general waste bin last weekend, but it got emptied yesterday morning so I am free to declutter some more!
• getting things out of the house - I've built up several bags of donations now, so the trick is to get to the charity shop today before the usual weekend rush means they have to close to donations
• seasonal clothing - the seasons are definitely changing in this corner of England, and my clothing storage is ... not a full-on mess, but definitely showing entropy. So I'm going to do a little tidying and straightening and repacking, one area at a time (to keep from getting out of hand), and make it easier to find the warm layers now the mornings are colder.

For those wondering, no I still haven't found my important document, but the paperwork I need it for is the kind of "important but not urgent" task that means I'm not too worried but I'm using it as motivation to go hard at the house this weekend. I did find my long-lost Awn Elming pin last weekend though (shortly before filling the waste bin up).

My brother reminded me last night of the existence of the BBC Sounds app, and I love that I'm still listening to the same DJs I did 20-30 years ago, but now they're on Radio Two not Radio One. Sara Cox's Half Wower is a great way to block out 30 minutes on a task.

Good to know that finding the document is important but not urgent. I definitely see how the search is great motivation! Best wishes for this weekend! :D

Yay for finding a long-lost pin!

Good point about the radio. I most often declutter while listening to The Home Edit on Netflix, a tip from one of my penpals. But soon I will be out of episodes, might try the radio next.
