15 Minute Moment

Inspired by my lovely friend, Laura, over on From Clutter to Tranquility, I set my timer for 15 minutes and set to on this sorry kitchen top:


and when my timer pinged it looked like this:


Ok, so it's not perfect but look, there's kitchen top there!!  ;o)

Oops!

So, I haven't exactly been racing to post on my blog about my decluttering adventures but that would be because life overtook me a tad and I lost the decluttering urge amongst a severe dose of overwhelm!  Anyhooooo, I am battling on and have done a teeny tiny bit of decluttering this morning that might just spur me onto some this afternoon.  ;o)  I currently have redcurrant chutney bubbling away on the hob and once I'd got it on I started to hunt for my jelly bag as redcurrant jelly (yummeeeeee!) is next on my culinary to do list.  I started my search in my bottom kitchen drawer....good lord, how long is it since I got anything out of there other than a tea towel or dishcloth??  I didn't think to take before and after pics but it's gone from a heap of disorganisation to neat piles of tea towels, aprons and dishcloths.  ;o)  In the process I moved some items to their proper homes and managed to declutter a set of weird flashing plastic ice cube things (why on earth I ever thought these were worth buying I don't know!).  So, a miniature bit of decluttering but I do have a tidy drawer now!  ;o)
