Vic Vodkas dieting rollercoaster - back to it!!!!

[alottolose]

I'm with you all the way on the OCD trip vicky... at depressed times in my life cleaning has been all consuming....

It's also been noted by people close to me that I do go "all or nothing" on ideas... same with diet it seems....

Aiming to go OCD on decluttering with what's left of today

 

[cherl889]

I could do with you both down here soon as we are planning to hire a skip and de clutter our whole lives.....yep the house from top to bottom!

 

[alottolose]

ooh cheryl we could have a decluttering competition ... like set targets or something 100 things in a month and note them in a new thread .....

 

[cherl889]

Cool but im hoping to get rid in the next few weeks. Ive done a few bootys now just want rid. Ive thought of doing another one and charging 50p per item, i might make a bit. My back bedroom is full of stuff and that without going through all the other rooms!

 

[alottolose]

hate the way random bits take over

had quite a bit on ebay a few months ago - but it's so time consuming getting it all on there

 

[cherl889]

I cant be bothered! Lol have to laugh as we sound like right messy hoarders!

 

[alottolose]

I'm a "it might come in handy" person .....

 

[cherl889]

Oh me too. Ive told mark that we need to be strict and anything we havent used in 6mths-1yr is going. My house will look empty. Lol

 

[LVLLM]

im do have a clean out twice a year, clothes i struggle to chuck i need someone to shout at me and say have you worn that in 2 years??? lol. im a book collector!

 

[cherl889]

Clothes im terrible for. I must have every size possible i never throw any out in case i gain weight or lose weight (come on girls i know youve all done it too). Saying that mark has a bigger wardrobe than me but in his defence he wears it, i dont!

 

[alottolose]

I'm the same cheryl, everything from a 10 - 16 and also some L and XL thrown in

 

[cherl889]

And i bet most of it is bagged up and hasnt seen daylight since goodness knows when

 

[alottolose]

well actually it was all hung up til the wardrobe rail collapsed (should've realised it was a sign there was too much in there!)....

I just went and emptied the bathroom cabinet of all my lotions and potions... filled a carrier bag with odds and ends that didn't have any reason for being anymore .... now sorting the laundry before going through DD's clothes

go me!!

 

[cherl889]

Oh crikey, i didnt even think of make up or lotions and potions! Ive got drawers full in the bathroom. It all has to go then i can buy more!!!!

 

[alottolose]

just found 2 unopened huge tubes of toothpaste!! After I went out last week and bought a new one thinking we had none left!...tons of bottles of conditioner after doing the same with that...and shampoo galore....same with toothbrushes....

so this month I need no toothpaste, no shampoo or conditioner or toothbrushes til they're all used and done with

ooh and OMG HOW many bars of soap!?

 

[jet1968]

lol omg sarah u sound like a hoarder !!! im sometimes like that i buy and forget wot ive got when im at the shop ,so i write a list now !!!!!!!!!!

 

[alottolose]

It's the organisation I need to sort out, so I can "see" what I've got I make lists - then I go out and buy what I already have....madness

 

[Maintainer]

hmm... food for thought there... certainly not "madness" but <it must mean something>

It's true that I cannot live with an empty fridge and/or cupboards and I must always know there's something to eat should I need it (more so when dieting perhaps...). The mere thought of going hungry seems to frighten me so I need to know it's not going to happen... (and woe betide anyone who eats "my food").

But toiletries? hmm... don't know what hoarding them "means"!

 

[LVLLM]

omg sarah so like me. i have soap, toothpaste, moisturisor, showergel galore!

im tired out. hands raw from washing up so much and doing so much washing lol. treating myself to getting my nails done on friday - all mine snapped last night so im getting acrylics done. im at wedding on saturday - tbh i dont want to go but i know it will do me good to get out of the house!
