Husband and I get massages every other week, our health insurance covers it (yay!) When husband is in with the therapist I walk over to the salvation army to have a looksy. Since the beginning of my whole declutter process I have been so picky. This time I took a few pictures, mainly because I had slacked all weekend and had not taken any at all, my own personal rules to the 365 stated that you may take make-up pictures the next day for a missed day. If I did not have this rule I would have had to stop the 2nd of January. The point to the 365 is to take your camera out, to be on the look out for interesting things at all times (makes the world a lot more wonderful), to use new settings on your camera and experiment, to study a subject and learn things from it's angles and shapes... this is what I am learning so far. It is nice.
I've wanted a new desk for quite some time, but really can't justify the expense when the table I was using is perfectly good, aside from just not fitting the small computer nook too well. Therefore, Darren and I looked around at what we could use to build a desk, and came up with this; two sheets of plywood fastened to two chunks of fence post with some very long wood screws leftover from an older project. We set it on two old nightstands. We keep thinking of ways to improve on the design, but all of them cost money, so I'll just try this one out for awhile...

52 weeks of 2015 - Week #1 "Out with the old"
I know the theme is conceptual, but a literal interpretation was easy for me! We are nearly empty nesters, and 2015 is going to be a year of decluttering and downsizing! Happy new year!
Day 26 of my 30 Day challenge, and today I finally Dealt with a task that I've been ignoring for over a month: replacing the broken toilet seat in my guest bathroom. Because in order to replace the seat, I had to clean around the toilet, and if I was cleaning around the toilet I might as well clean the entire bathroom, and if I'm cleaning that bathroom I should clean the master bathroom, and mop the kitchen floor while I have the mop out. . . . But today I finally dragged out all the cleaning supplies and tools, scrubbed the bathrooms from top to bottom, then replaced the broken toilet seat with a nice new one. And since nobody wants to see a picture of a broken toilet seat, here's the new toilet seat in it's nice cover that matches the curtain and towels in the guest bathroom.

the solution is hot water, distilled white vinegar, and a few tablespoons of borax (the only product I use that's known to be at all toxic); I also sprayed it down with my all-purpose cleaner, which contains (filtered) water, distilled wh. vinegar, Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap, and borax.

I felt like society would never give me another chance because I had a violent criminal background. I made some terrible choices in my past, and I just didn’t know how to overcome those challenges when dealing with employers or society. It was difficult for me to find the resources to improve myself, my self-esteem as well as my confidence within myself. When I left prison, I knew it was going to be a journey — I just didn’t know where to start.
I found out about Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina’s program through the Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice. I took a week-long job readiness class. After the class, I started my job search, and it was 9-to-5 every day. I was on foot, of course, and I started at one end of a street and I finished on another.
Luckily, a job posting came open as a machine operator at Carolina Fabric four or five weeks after I finished the job readiness class. I obtained the job; it was only minimum wage at the time, but I went into the job with an attitude of gratitude.
In the past year and a half, I’ve been going to night school for welding, as I aspire to be certified welding inspector.
I would tell people looking for a job that you should never judge what you’ve done in the past. The first step is to forgive yourself — because if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.

As anyone who has been into our downstairs bathroom could tell you it was a bit of a bomb site with holes in the walls, plumbing on display and a general lack of "finished-ness".
Well today I have spent 5+ hours making some headway into this issue. The walls are now panelled in tongue and groove (I unleashed my inner teuchter for some inspiration!) and that is all painted in a matt grey which is as close as I could get to the tiled splashback - it is kind of a slatey grey colour (still wet and shiny in this picture). As a bonus I plastered a couple of walls, filled some broken tiles and plastered a ceiling. All that is a first pass though and will need another coat before I can start painting.
All in all things are coming together then! Still need to pop a wee bit of moulding along the top of the panels to tidy them up, paint the walls (refresh the white), paint a couple of other rooms... tidy the garden... declutter.... all hopefully by mid-September!!!!
Declutter time, letting this wonderful camera go. Fantastic, but I just don't need it and my FE2 gives me all the 35mm fun that I need.
In this video, you will find some useful packing tips for smooth tips. Here are some packing tips: Invest In Good Quality Boxes, Choose the Right Box to Pack Your Stuff, Opt For Professional Packing Service, etc. But before start packing, you need to declutter your house. And don't forget to choose high quality packing supplies like bubble wrap, boxes, etc. But if you don't have time for packing you can also hire professional removalists in Newcastle, Australia. They can pack all your household belongings safely. To know more information, watch the video or you can also visit the link: www.betterremovalistsnewcastle.com.au/best-packing-practi...
Here are Day 3’s offerings.
7 mugs of varying sizes and patterns. None of these match and yesterday we bought 2 sets of 4 that match, so we don’t need these any more. There are only 2 of us after all! These will be offered on Freecycle – if there are no takers, I’ll take them to the Oxfam charity shop next week.
A dozen plastic plates, not the disposable sort, the kind you use on picnics. I think I had these for when I did refreshments for an annual charity event. Someone else took over and I was left with these. We don’t use them so might as well find them a new home. I’ll Freecycle them or let Oxfam have them.
A box of drawer liners with one missing. These have been in a drawer for ages and have mostly lost their smell. I don’t actually like the pattern on them so wouldn’t use them. I’ll Freecycle them or take them to Oxfam.
A novelty headband with Devil’s horns. This was given to me by my sister for a charity tombola, but I don’t think it’s suitable. It needs 2 batteries, and lights up when switched on. As Halloween is coming up, I’ll offer it on Freecycle. Somebody might like it.
A nursery rhyme jigsaw with big pieces. I bought this at a charity shop when I was doing altered art jigsaw pieces. I also bought about 6 other jigsaws with even larger pieces, and have only ever used about 6. So this one can find a new home in Oxfam as I don’t need it.
3 diet books on the GI diet. I haven’t followed this diet, so might as well get rid of these books. I was successful when I went to a slimming club, and when I decide to lose weight again I will follow the club’s diet again.
An empty bathroom cleaner bottle. We had 2 of these on the go in the bathroom at the same time, and this one only had a few drips left in it, so I emptied them into the other one and disposed of this plastic bottle in the local council’s recycling bag.
2 small Tupperware containers. I don’t really need these any more and can’t think of anything to do with them except offer them on Freecycle, or give them to Oxfam.
A jumper that has stretched in the wash. It doesn’t fit me any more, it got stretched widthways and looks far too baggy, so I will put it in the textile recycling bag. Our local recycling facility has a bin for textiles so next time I am passing I will put it in.
And finally – a cat identity tag. Don’t ask me why I’ve even got this because I don’t have a cat! I think I bought it for some craft project or other and it seemed a good idea at the time! I think Oxfam will benefit from this item.
Just goes to show what weird and wonderful stuff I hang onto that I don’t need any more. Thank goodness for Freecycle and charity shops is all I can say!
