I'd like to try again in October, anyone wanna join?
So far, only officially one item, a watering pot that was broken. But many, many more in the donation box and to-eBay queue. We made good progress on the attic yesterday! Yippee!
Total = 1

sure (I'm still packing some of Septembers around in the back of my suv).
2. I know for sure 2 things. I didn't know my 2nd son tossed some wool sweaters in the washer and dryer. He needed a good laundry lesson this morning anyway. Maybe someone can use them for a felted craft but it won't be me.
Float On: My "Happy Place" is on my little kayak in the coves of Table Rock Lake.
Yay! I love this challenge. Not sure I can participate this month, but I'd like to cheer you all on! :-)

OK, I'm in. Tried a couple of times and just petered out. Gotta get it done before it gets too cold to do it!

We just went to Goodwill and the used book store yesterday but I will list what I can from memory.
1. 2 bags of books. ~15 books per bag.
2. 4 massage tools that didn't work very good.
3. ugly floor lamp
4. a light up slinky
5. a ziploc full of hot wheels, army men, little toy parts
6. thirty year old ski bib and pants
7. stretched out sweater
8. 4 out of style tops
9. day light lamp that was not LED or CFL
45 not counting all the little stuff in the toy bag.
Gave away an exercise ball. I didn't need 2.
Total = 2
I forgot about an old purse in the Goodwill pile so I am at 46 and counting.
I am finally in for this. I just finished moving all my stuff from the 2 storage units in MO to my new home in Phoenix. For the first time in several years all my stuff is in the same place I am. While loading up I gave family 2 boxed of 60's and 70's albums to a young cousin, 3 dressers and two empied storage containers. We won't talk about the stuff I acquired from said family... I have a bag of some clothes, and piles of more that won't survived being tried on as they predate the 20 or so lbs (more at the moment) I've put on since I packed these clothes away.

Here we go... Decluttered the vanity in the main bathroom Got rid of three old pairs of eyeglasses in cases; two shaving mugs I will never use again (still have two I do use); two empty shave soap containers (convenient because not all soap comes in its own container, but three is too many; one will be redeployed as a used-blade holder); a tube of icky-flavored Crest toothpaste I regret ever buying (DW may use this; she's less picky about that than I am); a tube of novelty-flavored toothpaste which I liked but which was manufactured in China (risky); an old sample of teeth whitener; a container of now-evaporated aftershave balm (the container smells too strong to reuse elsewhere); seven (long-)expired packages of over-the-counter medications; a boxful of disposable eyeglass wipes (which never worked well for me anyway); and a tablet toilet-bowl cleaner that I will never use now that I'm in charge of cleaning.
Nineteen items, not counting the toothpaste. Actually, I'm not sure I should count all the expired meds. Some we'll wait to buy until/if we need them again. Others, like the three skin ointments we had, will be replaced by one item. Some more may yet go; out of deference to DW, I did not do anything with the hair-coloring instructions that had no accompanying hair color; nor did I do anything more than collect the three bottles of wool wash and the five containers of moisturizer (all different). I'll ask her about them when she gets home.
So do we net out decluttered items here?

More stuff:
- got rid of our hand mixer that no longer holds on to its beaters.
- 45 LPs and CDs are off to the used-record store. I've slacked off a bit on that project; time to crank it up again.
The total is now up to 65 items. More to come. Our returned live-in-guest just moved out again two days ago. I have an opportunity to straighten up the finished part of the basement and reclaim the shelves in the pantry she took up with her stuff. It's also time to declutter the garage so we can fit the patio furniture in again. And move the snowblower to the front of the garage. Winter will be here soon enough. I don't know as I'll find lots of items to get rid of, but there should be some.
