Here is our thread for 2014. The goal is to sell/donate/throw away 2014 things over the year.

Here is where you can download the chart! You need to register to download it.

It sounds like a lot but if we average 5-6 things a day we will get there!

I feel like I did so much this year but I know I can do it again. Who else wants to join?

OK. So I'm slower than molasses...

about 40 pieces of paper and 6 catalogs. I think my previous post had about 15 items. We've pulled some of DD's old shoes to donate/trash, but I'll count them when I actually get them out.

Total = about 61

I told DD that I would like to get the house ready to sell, even if we don't end up listing it, so I'd like to get 2000 things out by the end of May. Not sure if I'll make it, but it's a goal.
:wink

4 holey socks (and matched 20 pairs of socks so they are not usable again and the orphan sock bag is nearly empty.)

3 papers from vacation last summer T

fiance's chelsea football league banner--donated

cloth laundry bag--donated

12 trash on closet floor

37 pieces of clothing--donated or consigned with thredup.com (I am in the process of boxing up my clothes that I don't need to see until post-pregnancy. I anticipate getting rid of a lot more later once I know what my post-baby body will be, but nice not to have them hanging in the closet when they are currently useless. I filled a tall hamper of work and winter clothes and made a separate box of summer clothes so it will be easier to access when I'm ready.)

+ 31.25 check received for textbooks sold

+6.33 paypal payment from textbook buyer
