Return of the de-clutterer

As you know I have been under the weather lately, in addition I have been working a lot so I have been pretty slow with sorting my house out.

Today we met with my daughters Great Aunt for Sunday lunch. I had a lovely roast beef and spent a lot of the afternoon feeling tired, we also came back with two large bags of Xmas gifts


After lunch I decided to get back on with the challenge and implement some of my plans- I now have a key rack which is saving time in the morning as I am not hunting for keys!

I also put some stuff on eBay and have a bag of clothes to go to charity tomorrow. We've also found some friends who want our baby changer so that will be going too!

I also needed some creative fun so I made a new baby card for my friend who had a daughter this week!

Even my shoes are organised- I cleaned and polished my boots and work shoes so now they look lovely and new- they'll be making their way to the shoe rack too so I don't trip over them.

Kitchen chaos!

Today was a flurry of activity as I prepared for work next week.

I managed to batch cook some meals for my daughter, they are now all frozen so it will be easy to prepare something healthy for her when we get in at night.

There was even time to bake some cupcakes...

There was various paperwork to be done- but in my attempt to be more organised I filed it straight away (we will say nothing of the giant shredding pile!)

Next, it was the turn of the kitchen cupboards for a declutter. I knew this would be a big challenge as we are full to bursting with kitchen utensils. I have successfully cleared out 5 cupboards, washed the insides and got rid of anything we have too many of (glasses, pastry brushes, manky old baking trays etc!)

It's all boxed up, some of it can go to the charity shop, other bits I will freecycle or eBay.

Most importantly the fridge is cleared out ready for the online shop tomorrow...
