Hope everyone else has a little more wiggle room than me, because as of this morning I am officially fresh out of "things" to add to my list/challenge... Had I not purged/cleaned out the bathroom counter storage space a while back, I would have had a few more things to add. Bummer... But the fight isn't over, yet. At least not until I admit defeat! :~)
Early Morning, do you feel the pressure growing? :)
I thought I'd do better last month, and so I guess I probably won't do as well this month. But I did sort through some drawers and locate eight clothing items to donate and a lanyard. Where do these things come from?
1-8. Clothing
9. Lanyard
Good show, Leslieann!
Looks like I may be back in the game! DH, is going to go through some of his things, and I've been informed, there's a box of bottles downstairs that can go, so I'll be revisiting this thread again (later in the week) to post another entry!
All eyes on, Early Morning! :D
39-46. T's, Socks with holes, pants (from the boys - the T's and the pants are good enough for the thrift shop, the socks went into the trash - the rag box is full)
47. one more purse
48. fox stole a chicken (and a meal from us, it was one of the meaties)
DH and I discussed some of our art show booth displays (we have enough for two booths but only use one) and supplies that we can list for sell on our guild site or craigslist so hopefully I'll have more to report later (plus some income).
Darn fox!
I put a pile of unused kitchen stuff in a box; will have to make sure it is going out and then count.
What to do with unused food? I have stuff that I have kept for a long time, dried beans in particular, and I have to acknowledge that the day is over for me and beans. I think I have a very frugal friend who might be interested.
Will count and post in a bit...
hey, you all are doing great! pressure? me? non - I haven't purged much inside except trash, but I've been purging the garden of grass and weeds, the wild-flower bed of vinca (why that stuff won't grow where I WANT it but loves everywhere else is beyond me!), and the yard of limbs. Maybe I'll get back in gear inside next week. I was gone most of last weekend, and will be out most of this weekend too (the B25's are coming for the 70th reunion of the Doolittle Tokyo raid!) so I really do need to have at it soon!
I will be out of commission as of this weekend, but will post an update at the start of the week! Go, go, everybody!!!
Missed the start of this thread, but I already did a charity pick-up this month in preparation for an inspection. That got rid of about 8 bags/boxes - mostly old toys/stuffed animals my kids helped me clean out of the basement.
Next up - need to schedule another charity pick-up. I'm not good at counting items, but I know I have some stuff that will go: 2 travel coffee mugs, 1 pair shoes, 1 shredder, 1 humidifier, 1 old TV, plus about three small bags/boxes of misc. toys that I forgot to put out for the last one. The appliances might have to be Freecycled or put out in the alley because a lot of charities actually don't take them.
Anyway, April is looking pretty good!!
I finally dropped off the stuff I had gathered but I counted it first. Twenty two items. So...9 + 22 =31 so far.
My DD is visiting and she went through the box and picked out two spatulas that she wanted. But they are OUT of my house and that's what I am counting. Well, as soon as she goes home and she better remember to pack them!
I also emptied my email inbox. I have some sort of fear of missing information that results in my being an information packrat. I had almost 2500 emails just sitting, already read, in my inbox. So they are gone. The only thing in there now are items with pending actions. I am trying to be ruthless with the delete button. I don't think that counts on this thread but I wanted to mention it. Doing that was a lot harder than dropping stuff off at the thrift store.
A bunch of cat toys to give DH's aunt's cat at Christmas, but the cat died last month.
