Post Christmas PURGE! the race is on! - Page 11

post #201 of 261
I'm done my stint as treasurer, so, a box of 46 files and books sorted and on the way to the new financial officer of the charity I volunteer for.

8 stacking file trays and one broken lamp out of the way to the donation bag and to the garbage.

And another huge box of personal files and papers decluttered and shredded,

say 101 total, plus 385 already done equals 486/1000

And I have a tidy office!

Deep cleaned a kitchen drawer. It's so shiny now! 16 items gone.

346/500

Oh, and I have to share this small moment of triumph! Last night we dropped off two big bags of stuff at Goodwill and I didn't even browse in the store. I don't need to be bringing more in when I just kicked a whole bunch out!

You have more self control than I do to not shop at Goodwill when you drop stuff off! I haven't been able to go because it has been too cold or snowy, but I am itching to.

My sweater shaver broke, so that is 1 thing to throw away. It is not really decluttering though, because I will buy another one. Luckily, I have a JoAnn's gift card from Christmas, so I can get it for free.

I also found 2 things to donate and 3 things to consign.

6+179=185 so close

I've had a sick kiddo so de-cluttering has taken a backseat. He's feeling better now, so I'm ready to dive in again.

This morning while deciding what to wear I yanked 3 pairs of underwear, 1 hooded sweatshirt, one pair of socks, and an ugly blazer-type jacket out of my wardrobe. They are all things I never, ever wear....so off they go! I have taxes to work on today, but if I need a break from that I'm going to go re-arrange two of my kitchen cupboards.

294 + 6 = 300

OK there's no way I can keep track of number of items, but I took 2 HUGE boxes (the kind that eggs get delivered to grocery stores in) of clothes to Goodwill on Monday, as well as our old Mr. Coffee.

BOY did that feel good! : I will never have to wash, fold, iron, or even look at any of those old clothes again! I can't wait to keep going!

going slow with all the winter disasters but considering how I didn't think I'd make it this far I'm doing great.- We're all doing great!:
my small house seems bigger and its easier to clean. Hope to hit 1000 before Feb 11th- guess i am raising my goal
