We had a 4 day weekend at our house and I took full decluttering advantage. Since June I’ve been behind in my monthly targets to hit 4028 things by the end of the year - various life things like vacation and tidying the house got in the way. But I am back in the swing of getting rid of things, thanks mostly to a scheduled charity pick-up this week.
With this pick-up deadline in place, I sorted through my old clothes. I ransacked the downstairs closet for things to donate (you know, things that haven’t left the hanger since I hung them - those things can go). I targeted a few toys to go. Cleared out some cosmetics.
Then, gathering momentum, I drifted over to our basement shelving. Oh boy! Gift bags - 55 of them, put in the donation pile. Got rid of a pile of paper (oh hey! Found The Husband’s university diploma! Why it was where it was, I don’t know.). Box of cords and cables - extension cords from 30 years ago, phone cables, random other stuff - out! Box of old dishes. Buh bye. Hauled out my creations from pottery class - chucked! And hey, are there really wedding magazines in that box? Yup - wasn’t ready to part with them when I boxed them up but now they can go - 22 frigging magazines!!! Funny enough, the recycling cart was pretty full but after I tossed the magazines in, they squished everything down so now there’s room for more stuff. Yay. Will need a forklift to move the cart, but hey, that’s the price of progress.
Wow, a lot more space on the shelves in the basement!
Having so much success in the basement, moved on to the kitchen. Taking a quick look around, I focused on stuff that I have held on to that I have never used in the 9 years we’ve lived here. That stuff needs to go. Ugly serving platters. Glasses. Poky fancy toothpick things. Etc, etc, etc…
Oh right, I also boxed up all the hazardous waste products in the house that I wanted to get rid of. Most of it was stuff left over from the previous owners of the house. The Husband took everything to the disposal site last week.
I dropped off one bag of baby stuff to one person and have a stack of stuff for another (opposite season babies mean I get to get rid of ALL seasons of baby stuff - whoo!).
I set 4 bags and 8 boxes of giveaways on my front step this morning for the charity pick-up. I love charity pick-ups!!!!!!!!
311 things gone from my house in 4 days. WHOO! This means I’ve broken the 2000 mark. Go me!

Good for you! I'm constantly dropping things off at Sally Ann as they are done the street from my work. Little at a time!
