CHALLENGE: I am NOT taking that into February - Page 3

I got rid of old medicines/pill bottles / vitamins yesterday

PP -- I have the same problem with DH .... I do it gently ... I will take a few items and spread them out on the kitchen counter and sort of suggest he is not using them anymore lets give them to someone who could .... or you have 3 of these which one shall we donate ...

I find that looking at the whole picture seems to overwhelm him ... so I that is why I make it a small little decision.

Ok, this is great! I lost count...I have been cleaning like a madwoman lately so this works well for me, especially since dd's birthday is in February...it would be very nice to have a nice decluttered home for her. I have been getting rid of tons of things...yesterday in my kitchen I found all kinds of junk...dont even know how much...that wasn't even worth saving..just sooo much junk...I have also been making tons of bags of toys; clothes; books; shoes; etc for goodwill, my dd has even been helping me by voluntarily giving away things she doesn't want anymore like old Barbies and Strawberry Shortcake....I am SICK of being in clutter!

I've been so busy with writing my dissertation, that I got a little behind with this challenge. But today I made up for it! I got rid of 2 binders, 3 pairs of shoes, 1 pair of jeans, and 1 picnic blanket, while reorganizing the shelves in the basement. So that's 7 more items for this month.

I couldn't take those stupid wire hangers into February with me ... so they are all gone : over 100 of them!!!:::

We now have thick plastic ones that don't tangle!!!!

huge job going through all the closets and re-hanging everything -- but so worth it!!
