I mailed off 45 pieces of my daughter's clothing which she has outgrown to her cousin who is one year younger.
Returned 6 items to LL Bean from an insane online shopping binge I went on in September.
Returned a pair of pants to JCrew - they have been sitting in my closet with the tags on since July!
Up to 115!
ejchase gets a crown too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, gee, thanks.Originally Posted by fidgiegirl
I always feels good when the things that have been piling up are finally gone. I'd had that box of my daughter's clothes in the trunk of my car for ten days!
Man, you guys make me tired just READING about your accomplishments, lol.
Fidgie, bummer about the textile recycle spot. Good on you for having the strength to dump them. I really have problems with that. I try really hard to connect my cast-offs with an end user and avoid trashing stuff, I even avoid GW etc when I can; they are overstuffed and getting pricey here. So clothing mostly goes to a shelter, housewares etc to a local veteran's org, recycles to various centers, but it takes longer, more effort, and does not always improve my mood, lol. I do trash the trash, but other stuff is hard. I really need to learn when to just LET IT GO. But on the up side, today I finally matched a box of shoe covers with a 501c3 neighborhood association that does Christmas house tours every other year. I'll drop them off tomorrow after work, yay! Those silly things (left here by a BIL, for no apparent reason) have been here for over a year while I tried to find a home for them. See, if I were sane, I'd have dumped them at GW ages ago, and been done with it. But I'm a work in process, lol.
Forgot - #28 - passed on a pair of moosehide moccs to my aunt yesterday.
My daughter has outgrown two pairs of rain boots, so we passed them on to a friend.
Tossed an old copy of Pat the Bunny that was too torn-up to give to the thrift store.
Up to 118.
The dog's basket got emptied and cleaned, threw out his bandanas and ratty toys, washed his collars and stuffed toys, and one nice toy going into the office for another dog tomorrow. Next job I'm tackling is box of old computer stuff. They use or sell the old peripherals at work, so that's where the box's items will be going.
1 blanket to an informal drive at work
1 screen to the alley (was never the right size for any window in house)
1 album given to SiL
1 shirt sold on eBay
= 52
Cued up - an old fire extinguisher. Not sure how to dispose of it, though. Anyone? It's not one of the dry ones. bae?
+1 body pillow returned to my FiL
+1 album returned to MiL

54 for the month! Wow! Not 100 (always shooting for 100), but not zero! Now on to start December's.
I'm putting these here because they're from yesterday:
an old sweater of mine that had a hole and a stain and a dress-up shoe of my daughter's that lost its frilly decoration - 120 for the month!
