November Purge

[Tradd]

It is a local supermarket and in Maine, the ones that are more rural have a shelf where you can donate your old books, and then people buy them for a dollar paperback, two dollars hardback, and put the money in the jar, which then goes to the charity of the month.

I absolutely love this idea. Perfect for more rural areas as it will be harder to get books from the library

Small pile today...

Husband decluttered a bunch of paperwork from his "hot rods" folder in the filing cabinet.

Oldest son got rid of a shirt, hoodie, and a drawstring bag.

I gave away a Beatrix Potter "nursery set" via my local FB giving page. It was a Mrs. Tiggywinkle plate, saucer, bowl and mug. No, I don't have kids, but I always had a thing for Mrs. Tiggywinkle, lol. It wasn't seeing much use these days, so it felt like time to release it to the universe.

Shredded a big box of old financial documents. I missed our Credit Union's shred days last spring. Several t-shirts. My work gives out company t-shirts everytime a new batch is
printed for sale. I always pass on the tee shirts and free calendars. Eyeing several items in the garage that will be gone soon. Just gone... Also a medical office uniform my dd left when she moved out a couple of years ago (doesn't fit), misc water bottles, cleaned out "plastics" cupboard. Tossed all the mis-matched plastic tubs, containers, etc. I would have gotten rid of more, but I asked too many questions, if you get my drift. My bedroon closet has lots of board games. We rarely play board games and if we do, it is some new game the kids bring over.
I suggested we "downsize" the board games. Vetoed. Perhaps another day.

LOL on the board game veto, Greg. I get the same response when I suggest a downsize in games. Congrats on all the other stuff gone!

Good work Gregg, Always interesting to check about clearing out...never know what is "keepable" just in case.

Just posted two electric heaters, small bottles of OJ, regular/decaf instant coffee, and some tea I had too much of on local Buy Nothing group. Also a case of shelf stable milk. Having 3 is too much for my storage space. Figured a family could use it. Same with a bunch of tomato soup. I have to watch how much acid I’m consuming.

Husband just sold a keyboard on Craigslist, met the guy in town and dropped it off.
Just took three funeral urns to Goodwill--these were the ones we didn't use, obviously. It's a long story why there are three but we could not use any of them in the niche space. They have been sitting in my living room and I am thrilled to have them gone. Now to figure out what to do with the one we did use. I guess it can go in a box in the attic until someone dies and we need it.

Working on leaves. Asked my clueless neighbor to stop blowing his leaves into my yard.

Several boxes of coin wrappers. Need ones with premade bottoms.
