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,
Just came back from a quick run into work. Birthday/Anniversary bulletin board neede to be changed and usually we would wait until Monday, but there is a staff birthday tomorrow and I wanted to make sure he was recognized. We missed a birthday last month and that shouldn’t happen. It’s a PITA to change the background paper, but that’s done. Everything else will be added to the board when I get in tomorrow.
Went to Home Depot and got a 3step stool. Mine is on,y 2 steps and I need a bit more height to get into my cupboards. It will store nicely next to the fridge.
A few more errands to run before I can work on things in the house. A load of laundry is in, probably most of that stuff will go to charity bin. Thinning out the drawers and just keeping newer items.
Bbl

Joyce, thanks for the start-up. You are so nice to do those things for your work, I’m sure people appreciate it. Be careful on the step stool. Bill made me a step-stool with a handle, steadies me for getting up and down. It is only one step but I’m tall enough that is all I need for most places.
Waving to Ruth. Hope the guy shows up to get the elliptical today.
More rain last night, about another inch. Today I was able to get out and do some planting in my garden. It is almost all ready but still very soggy. Bill spent at least 4 hours today changing our phone carrier. We finished paying off the phones on Wednesday and needed to wait 2 days before we could change carriers. It was a long process but looks like everything went ok. I won’t be on tomorrow. We head up early (about 8 am) to the dance recital. Then we are staying overnight to watch the kids so DS and DDIL can have a date night. We do plan on heading home early on Sunday. Because of all of the rain we have lots to do outside yet and Sunday is supposed to be nice and sunny.

Good (very) late afternoon all. Great news, he did come and they were able to get the elliptical out of the house and thru the yard and onto our trailer. They should be back shortly from unloading at his house. And they didn’t have to take it apart at all. DH did forget the mat that goes under it tho. I had included it in the price. They are like $69 new but we have no use for it. I had asked our DSIL to come help out and then our great neighbor came over when he saw them moving the trailer around. And he stayed and helped get it carried out and loaded on the trailer. And DH & DSIL didn’t have to help unload at all. So now we need to get the radio room cleaned out enough to move the treadmill in there and then we can start on the floor in the family room down there.
Mara slept well the past two nights, hope it continues. I think DS may meet us at WW tomorrow and then have lunch with us and spend a little time with Mara.
Starting to thunder here. We are under a thunderstorm warning for the next half hour or so. Will be interesting to see if we get storms.
A load of laundry going because several of us got food stains on clothing today that I don’t want to set in.
More tomorrow!!!
