Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
@Smc for a whole there I was trying a new dish on a regular basis, some of which was because we were going to weekly shared meals which came to an end with our move. A quick glance through the clippings made me realise that I no longer want to try most of the recipes but I did save just a few.
Mr Darcy is no longer enjoying food like he used to but in the future I will have opportunity to entertain again and I am looking forward to doing that.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Really pleased with today's tidying up effort and we have made a decent dent in clearing some items from the big room (as we call it).
Along the way we:
1. Replaced some knobs on beside cabinets - they now match the ones on the chest of drawers.
2. Sorted and put away a few items that were previously unpacked.
3. Cleared out 1/2 dozen or so folders, recycling a fair portion of the removed paperwork.
4. Set aside a few things to go to the op shop.
5. Spoke to + messaged some family members offering them first pick of some items prior to disposing of them elsewhere.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Feels good when things get done @Former-Member
Yes we saved the filling cabinets which I will have to go through and throw things out
What I need now is somewhere to put my paperwork at mum's which is adding up fast

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
I have been using some tubs that fit a suspension file system for our financial paperwork @Shaz51.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Slow but steady progress made clearing our big room. Have a few more items set aside for donating. A friend called in today = 2 more items out the door 👍.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Donated a few more items over the weekend which included a number of lever arch folders and plastic sleeves. Today a plastic tub full of papers went in the recycle bin and a few items were given proper homes.

Re: Decluttering and home maintenance
Expecting our builder to show tomorrow morning (or at least one day this week).
Excess furniture left the building today ... yay.
Have a few bits left to move from renovation area but all in all am pleased with our clean-up effort.
