I've been awol off mdc for a while, but still (slowly) decluttering!
I've been keeping a notepad file on my desktop to keep track of my progress, here's the list:

5 diapers
1 video
3 cassette
broken pencils
toy
2 stack papers
4 boxes
tote bag
tape dispenser
bread mix

2 headphones
1 dvd

30 books
15 cds
10 clothes

1 suitcase
1 rocking horse
1 ride on toy
clothes in suitcase, guessing about 50 pieces
10 toys

which adds up to:
141

I'll find my last post in feb and come back to tally up...
feb= 472/2008
so new total:
613/2008

I have the ARC truck coming by tomorrow, and getting rid of our spare room double bed, the linens for it, and hopefully a bunch of other stuff. I also realized I forgot to add a bunch of clothes I took to the 2nd hand store... I'll think about it and add a reasonable number in tomorrow.

keep up the good work everyone!

Okay..I know I have to get back into the swing of things
I am going to try to tackle one room/closet at a time...
2008 things...lol if I don't bring home 2008 more new things

I think I could get to 2008 this weekend (hitting the toys)
15 articles of clothing (going to salvation army box)
5 articles of clothing (going back to ds preschool)
now on to toys....this is a fun game and motivating

50 items for Thursday only a few more hundred to go

[vivalamama]

currently outside waiting for the arc truck I have:
mattress, box spring and bed frame
wine rack
plant stand
sheet set
mattress cover
mattress pad
2 pic frames
1 binder
1 solar system toy
1 wok
1 salad bowl
1 silk plant
4 mini bundt pans
1 craft kit
cell phone accessories
2 candle holders
a bunch of candles
necklace
3 sweaters
3 placemats
2 bed rails
1 glass dish
25 toys
22 books
some kids clothes (3?)
2 pairs of shoes

I'm giving a friend who just had a house fire about 10 diapers/covers. I freecycled some frozen food we didn't like and some pet bedding. I also have another pending pick up for freecycle for some party supplies. So I'm counting that as 98 for today.

I cannot believe how roomy our computer/spare room feels right now since we got the bed out of here. Also feels good to clear out the junk out from under the bed and extra stuff that was just taking up space. It's hard though since it's from all over the house. I think if we just completely cleared one room at a time it would be waaay more motivating, but how do you keep the clutter from overflowing into the newly cleaned out spaces?

New total (assuming the arc truck shows up)

I was pretty PO'd at DH last night, and in my anger - I got four trash bags full of stuff out of my house!!! I didn't count them, but I am going to estimate 200 even though I think that estimate is really low.

last count 711/2008

today went through files and various stacks, I recycled 4 piles of paper (tempted as I am to count the papers individually). I had old bills in there from 2006 I still have lots more to go through, too. Also tossed holey clothes, and sent some old glasses, and other random junk out the door. (I think about 10 things). So, I'm totalling that to be about 14 for today.

new total: 725/2008

[ColoradoMama]

1 pair of jeans with a hole
1 broken toy
2 vases
1 book
1 stack of papers
