get rid of 100 items

Recommended Posts

Well, I last posted on here in December 09 :oops: - however getting some new windows fitted has inspired me to sort the spare room out. I think I was up to about 40, allowing for random bags of stuff that I didn't list. Today:

 

41: a rug that hasn't been used since I moved 4 years ago

42: dressing gown (I still have 2 spares)

43: curtains from the old house, plus linings (pity I didn't remember I had these before I went curtain-shopping yesterday! :evil: )

44, 45: 2 more pairs of old curtains

46: lovely black trousers that I can't get into any more :(

47: several other clothing items, ditto!

48: modem and various cables not required now I have WiFi

49: cushion covers that don't go with the new curtains

50: numerous books - I am going to allow myself five points for these, as I really have had a cull, it's not just the odd one or two:

55: hairbrush, bought and never used

56: various costume jewellery items no longer worn

57: Ornament (unwanted gift) - given to local cat charity

58: table mats, ditto - also to cat charity

Everything else will be going to the charity shop next weekend.

59: yet another huge collection of carrier bags, plastic and paper - some are going to be used to transport the above to the charity shop, some will be recycled, some are only fit for the bin

60: various cardboard boxes, split up for recycling

61: large piece of bubble wrap.

 

I still have several drawers and cupboards to go through. The best thing is that I can now hang my sleeping-bag in the spare room wardrobe, much better for it than keeping it in the stuff-sac, and I can keep the spare pillows where I can reach them without a ladder. It feels great!

(27) 4 plastic lego boxes on freecycle

(28) 1 wooden toy box to lady who'd collected lego boxes as she obviously has need for toy storage

(29) 4 spongebob dvds that boys had grown out of (local school :shock: )

(30) More clothes to charity shop (not sure this counts again but it was another 2 bags :oops: )

I can't tell you how many things I have got rid of but 12 large binbags of stuff have found new homes and 4 have gone to the dump

I am on a roll and trying not to be sentimental. We need two lorries to move as it is what with my runs and hutches and everything else

:clap: Well done Lillybettybabs, a terriffic start.

:clap: Well done Couperwife, can I borrow your Mum to help please?

:clap: Well done Patricia, that's great progress, it's really adding up.

:clap: Well done Egluntyne, your post has inspired me.

:clap: Well done Bronze, I know you have an incentive but it's an amazing achievement.

 

:oops: Um, I posted over 2 weeks ago about restarting on Tuesday. Luckily didn't say which Tuesday. Tomorow maybe. I've really lapsed at home, but somehow spend silly hours decluttering at work. :oops:

 

OK. Tomorrow then. :oops: Please make me do it.
