Sorted mail and rinsed containers. The recycling bags are filling up nicely.
Carry on.

Emptied one more bin, full of old picture frames, some unused ever. Tossed all, thinking about amnesty. Oh, I did keep two small nice ones. I felt a little guilty, tossing instead of donating, but amnesty is desperately needed now.

I recycled 20lbs of aluminum cans today and made a few bucks! My trunk now has a coat to be donated and some water in it. Yay.

Filed a few papers from under window in DR. They were manuals from items like lightweight vacuum, etc. Can't understand why they were residing there.

Good job all! I am all about amnesty, and if you want to toss something, go for it, and do not feel guilty! I am with you CatCat!
I had a box of mugs, some pairs, most just odd ones, a few from wineries, from a lifetime ago. I kept moving the box, and finally tossed it in the trash. GW or thrifts shops, get a lot of donated mugs, my not donating them, no big deal to GW! I like things to match, I do not like cute, and I rank up there with Martha Stewart for complete sets of dishes...I did not use or need the mugs.
That said, I went through my commuter mugs before writing this. I no longer commute. I was hanging on to some because they are "good" ones, stainless. I put one in the trunk of my car if I need it on the road. I only buy coffee at gas station when traveling, otherwise bring from home. I kept three, and the rest go in the donate box. I got rid of the last of mail and old papers from my office that I had in the family room. From now on, if I do not get it purged and sorted, back to office.. not stored on leather club chair!
We all encourage each other here. Find one thing, or many, but doing at least One Item a Day, will help get in a good mindset, establish a good habits, and help get your home cleaned up! I am also trying to devote at least One Hour a Day to organizing, purging etc. Keep going all!

Hubby also got our new toilet seat installed. Tossed the one that cracked last week. He also tossed one broken lamp in the trash. We have extra room this week due to being gone 5 days and not filling up our trash this week.

I have not been home today, but I did put two books in my bag for either sell or donations. I have no trouble getting rid of books I have read, it is the books I have not that I have trouble with.. working on it.

One broken lamp made it into the trash can today. Our sweet lil' boy has destroyed 2 now. *sigh* I need to find some other light source, some sort of hanging lamp that he can't knock over. At some point, we need to hire an electrician. *sigh*
Filled up a 13 gallon kitchen trash bag with clothing items. Purged just a small amount of obvious things as I did laundry today. These will all get loaded into van tomorrow and dropped off. There were 2 princess style dress up costumes, several lil' boy pants, shorts and shirts, a couple pairs of my old pants and a few other boy things from a donation box my sister gave us. I went through things again and knew these items would not be something I would put on our guy.

What a good lot of stuff you have been getting out of your lives and your homes!
1 receipt yesterday and a handful of papers today into recycling.
I also have several non-working lamps here.
