Welcome to the CLUTTERBUSTERS thread. We are a daily thread, Monday thru Friday, and we have a combined weekend edition Saturday and Sunday. We welcome new members and are a friendly, helpful and supportive group.
Our purpose is for support and sharing of tips and strategies in dealing with weight and clutter issues in our lives. Many feel that the two are often tied together. So, we will lend a caring ear, and hopefully give and learn tips to help all of us.
We want to remove at least 5 items or spend still least 15 minutes clutter busting today!
Remember, it didn't pile up in one day so it isn't going away in a day either. One organizer says: you don't have to stop everything to get organized, you just have to start somewhere.

Good morning all,
Had a nice time with DB and DSIL yesterday. Weather was perfect, not too hot and low humidity. We sat on their patio almost the whole time. DB grilled marinated flank steak, we had that with a baked potato and cauliflower. It was a delicious dinner.
Boss is back from vacation today, and we have that meeting this afternoon. Should be an interesting day. DSIL asked me if I heard of the Sight and Sound theater in Lancaster PA. The have a play called Jesus that has been going on for a couple of years now and is ending in October. My tour group has a trip going there in September. I’m going to see if I can get those days off, and if I can I’m going to go. I didn’t plan on going on another trip this year, but now that I know the play has an end date, I’d like to go.
Ruth - it will be nice to have that elliptical out of the house. Hope the sale goes through and it’s gone on Friday. So sweet that Sawyer is Nana’s girl.
Dottie - you had the same weather we did. Glad you were able to enjoy. A former coworker had a boat, he called it his personal money pit but he enjoyed it a lot.
Nothing planned for today. Hopthe rain lets up soon, I’d like to get a walk in before work.
Enjoy your day.
It was still drizzling out, but I got my walk in. Yay! Now for coffee.

Joyce, it was nice to hear that you had a good day with your DB and DSIL. I have heard of the play but have never seen it. Boats can sure be a money pit – UGH!!!
Ruth, hope the guy can find enough help to remove the elliptical. Have you heard anything from the insurance company about your PT?
Rain started around 11 – and has been light so far. Supposed to rain till overnight. The temps are dropping, getting very cool and damp. We went to T-Mobile this morning and paid off our phone. It was a buy one and get one free. Bill is now researching other plans and then we will either go this afternoon or tomorrow to change plans. On another note – one of our credit cards has had 4 unauthorized uses since May 18th. I did an on-line report but decided to call this morning to get a new card. Four unauthorized purchases in 10 days is scary, they weren’t for a lot of money – altogether about $80.00 but I think they (the bad guys) might be seeing if we noticed and then were planning on making a big purchase. The new card should arrived by Thursday. We aren’t responsible for any of the payments but hate to see how some people do things and make other people or the credit card company pay.

Good afternoon all. Very frustrating morning trying to communicate with DSon over some of the clothes I’ve sent home on Mara and would like back. DIL is NO help at all getting things back!!! DS tries, but he says all baby clothes look alike. All I can say is if they were more organized it wouldn’t be a big deal!!! And when I told him I thought I’d just quit sending her in anything I want back, he accused me of being childish! I told him I thought it would save us both time and frustration. I was being serious, not trying to make him angry!!! He’s really struggling with his depression, and is getting these new experimental treatments with magnetic imaging and I think he’s struggling with that. So I’m just going with the flow. Complaining here and moving on!
Joy, it sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Saturday and Sunday here were great, yesterday was a wash out the entire day! If that play is something you want to see, I’d certainly get the time off and go!!! Your lunch yesterday sounds wonderful! Let us know how the meeting goes. Suppose she will have heard about you standing up to that other manager? I say good for you. No reason to let people walk all over you!!!
Insurance approval FINALLY came thru this morning for my PT sessions at the Neck/Spine Clinic. So I called and made the first 6 of 12 approved appts. Tried to get most on days when we don’t have Mara, but as much as we have her, that’s not easy! I did get my at home exercises done this morning. Will try to do again tonight. I got our sheets washed and sounds like the dryer is almost done, so will get those back on our beds. Can’t wait for the headboard and frame to come so I can start making the bed and having the room look neat again. I haven’t bothered making the bed very often lately and I hate the way the room looks. And since it’s right off the front entryway, we have to close the door when the bed isn’t made. All in good time! I have one other small load of laundry in the washer so I should be caught up. We get Mara tomorrow morning and will have her until Sunday night or Monday morning possibly. I suggested to DH that we send her home Wednesday night and get her back Friday morning and he complained about how much it costs us for those trips to pick her up or send her back home. So keep her we will. Hoping to get a walk in this afternoon before it rains again here.
Waving to Dottie and Cathy! Will bbl this evening to check in. Dryer beeped so want to get our bed made.

Dottie, we were posting at the same time. We had that happen with one of our credit cards too. They were buying food at restaurants and then got a $400 money order at a grocery store of all places. You’d think they would get caught for only having a # and not the actual card. They got caught when they made a purchase in California at the same time I made one in Minnesota. I got a call asking if I was in CA and I said nope! So they looked and found about 8 small to medium purchases. We weren’t out anything either, but if these people would spend the time legitimately making money as they do skimming the system............
We have T-Mobile also. For us right now, it’s ok. But NOT cheap! But then I have an iPhone 8 and DH has a 10. So we are paying for those every month too. Their senior plan is supposed to be really cheap, but by the time you add on everything else..... gets really pricey!!!
