100/month Challenge - March

[Ellien C]

Come one - come all! Come anyone who isn't up for 2012 in 2012. Join for a month or join for the year. Just start decluttering now! Post your success here.

I have never taken part in one of these challenges, so I was wondering what it's about :).  Is it a 100 item declutter type thing?  I am in desperate need to declutter our home so if that's what this is...I'm in!  We have such a small space and so much stuff it's ridiculous.  It doesn't help that my husband is technology obsessed (I am too to an extent) and so we have a ridiculous amount of DVDs and video games.  He also keeps the cases to every single dvd and video game because he wants to eventually have a huge shelf with them on there...we literally have bins and bins full of empty cases >_<  I need that space lol

WELCOME!

It is indeed a declutter challenge. There is also a big thread to try and declutter 2012 items in 2012. We've done it every year for a few years.

I personally was not up the sustained challenge of 168 or so items every single month - I think I made it close to 1800 last year. It was hard for me to keep track.

But 100 items every month seems do-able to me. People can join and take months off as the mood strikes. Start counting 'em out, Christina H.

I'm in because I need something new to remotivate me, as I have stalled a bit with the 2012 thread.

So I guess I'll do this and then add whatever I get done here over onto my 2012 total.

March is off to a good start for me!

21 items of baby clothes

6 toys

2 blankets

1 hooded towel

1 baby bath tub

1 book                      all to a freecycle recipient

then  12 shirts

           3 pr shorts

           1 book

to Goodwill

2 broken scratched CDs to the trash

Total thus far 50/100

[Ellien C]

1 old tube of eye goo.

85 to go after goodwill drop.

[Ellien C]

Good will drop complete - was motivated because they are giving movie passes for Wednesday drop offs - but - it's only good Mon-Thurs, which doesn't help me much, but oh well.

Also added 2 shirts that are slightly fraying but it was hard to give them up.

2 old brief-case type bags.

and did a MAJOR clean-up of little papers and post-it notes around my work desk.

Calling it 80 to go.

[orangemomma]

Today I had to throw some things out as I was reorganizing a closet:

14 items; ie; broken lightbulbs, socks without elastic to hold them up, ripped underwear etc..

New total 64/100 

[basilico]

Great idea!  I'll join even though we're now into March!

So far I've gotten rid of:

-random items from DD's toys (7)

-kitchen utensils (5)

- a few old plants (3)

- extra blankets not being used (2)

- Sippy cups that didn't work for us (2)

19/100

[Ellien C]

1 pair broken 3 d glasses - trashed,

[clutterwarrior]

24. plate

25. mascara

26. pile of magazines

[IsaFrench]

was having an overview by moving the mouse over your post and was wondering ... "24 plates to give away ... ok,*.... but 25 mascaras , who can have 25 mascaras to get rif of ???" ...

i like the idea of decluttering, it's just that it has to go item by item that I find hard (since I think too much with EACH item ....)

well, I shouldn't be killing time on the computer but get on with decluttering instead ....

[Ellien C]

79 to go. 

8 and a half pair of newborn socks and an old new born diaper to neighbor. She gave me 6 of the socks, so it seems fair they should go back. 

Cleaning DD's room -

so far, 1 old Sky Mall magazine. 

68 to go. I've really petered out this month. I hope I can get rid of some more baby clothes. 

[orangemomma]

3 more pairs of underwear that are too tattered to wear - I keep finding things like this in the closet I am cleaning.

67/100
