Today I’m gonna dash right thru this little session. I’m decluttering the rat’s nest beside my bed.
The compulsory roll of tp, In case you don’t make it to the potty???? NO!! ICK!! It’s for my nose!! I guess I could do without the used wads. That would be nice!
The trash is a no-brainer, and possibly I don’t need 3 deodorants, at once anyway!! The pills are necessary, and the back scratcher, and the book. But the book doesn’t need to be there, you never read in bed anymore. And you do have such a lovely not crammed bookshelf, right over there! {helpfully points}
The necklace can be banished, probably the fabric scrap too. But what about the french fry?? Won’t PP notice that’s missing?? Probably not till she makes burgers!
Okay, I’ve documented the mess, time {See what I did there??} for the decluttering to begin!!
Timer set: 15 minutes. GO!
And she’s off to the races!
Huff, puff, blow down the clutter!
Almost done! When is that timer gonna ding?? This is the longest 15 minutes of my life, without any fame, even!
*Looks at timer.* Let me guess. {crossly} You don’t have to guess, you know what I did! Moving on!
Good thing I did this! I had 2 sets of duplicate bottles!! Clutter be gone!
3 expired supplements. Not good, Melinda. I know, I know. Well, I won’t be taking those anymore. Wonder if that’s why your tongue turned green??
Aha! I wondered where the key to my heart went. Cute.
2 more pairs of scissors?? When you already have 2 pairs in your office, not 6 feet away?? But the big ones are sewing scissors! Very necessary!! And you couldn’t put them in your sewing room, not even 3 feet away, because?????? Never mind, back to their respective places now.
Wow, this Declutterathon is certainly turning out to be lucrative!! Thanks, Queen Anne!! It really does pay to clean your house!
Just exactly how many finger, and toe nails do you have anyway? This is the fourth pair we’ve found! To the bathroom cabinet they go.
So slobby sewing supplies. Sent to sewing supply space.
The third phone we’ve found! Maybe you need to add hoarder somewhere in your name??
Yummy! Chocolate scented dog Sister sent me! Not clutter at all!! I agree! Chocolate is one of the basic food groups! Ya NEVER get rid of chocolate!
Since when do TV trays have 8 legs?? Ya know, I never even noticed that 2nd one was there! *eye roll* Why am I not surprised??
To be sent to the shed shortly.
{Update: it’s been banished.}
Look what else I found. What?? Doesn’t everyone use their pill organizer as a safe deposit box??
Time for the big reveal! Feast your eyes on this!
So, so pretty!
There, doesn’t that look so much better?
Yes, I admit it does. And look! I even upgraded to real tissues!
My, my! We are going all out!!
And the Declutterathon dash is done for this day.

Phew – I’m out of breath just reading about it! What is it with nail clippers? I also found four pairs lurking in the drawers in the spare bedroom I call my dressing room when I decluttered the other day. Don’t remember even buying ONE pair!

Great job in the declutterathon! You should have been in the Olympics. (Incidentally, I have to agree about chocolate. It’s never clutter.)

This is great! I feel like I’ve been hoarding things since I was 5 and I finally went through my parents home and got rid of 90% of everything there. Now for my own home!! Let it begin again!
