Cut a dying (biggest trunk of the three in the pot) yucca plant part off and tossed.
Also, finally used up a hand cream and tossed the bottle.
Put a blouse to my donation pile (which I should take to charity place asap).

I became obsessed with watching DVD's of the ER. Because my TV is in my bedroom, I needed to do something in my room to clean. My filing cabinet is in my bedroom closet. I have wanted to clean out the filing cabinet for 7 years. I finally went ahead and did it. I threw away unwanted papers and was able to empty out 50 files. I certainly don't need to buy any files. Everything is filed, there is no backlog of mail. I have the files in alphabetical order too. It feels so good.

better late than never. forgotten but not gone. I have the hardest time keeping up with posting.
6 food items I wasn't going to eat. best to trash before spoilage. 21 donations, some good stuff like Blue Fish clothing 14 items of clothing trashed
41 more items. will add them to ticker and maybe come back and edit here. no promises. I'm still unwell but soldiering on.

Threw out two spend candles, put a skirt in the donation box, and threw out a dead plant. That last one hurt but there was no bringing it back. I tried.

Tossed three more bags of trash. Tossed an empty conditioner bottle as soon as I finished it. (Usually let these empty bottles pile up, so was an accomplishment.

I've been away from the house most of the day, so I didn't get a chance to get rid of anything. Hoping for a productive day on Thursday and Saturday. Keep up the good work, everyone!

So I set a weekly reminder to tell me to post here--and when the reminder went off, I realized that I didn't have anything to report for the whole week! Nothing!
So yesterday i decluttered my bedroom and found a file of papers that didn't belong there, as well as a few other things I could throw out. Now I can report something!
41 papers 4 magazines 1 roll of address labels, lost their stickiness 1 broken hamper 1 pair of jeans 2 sheets
Total: 50
Grand Total: 50

Irisbloom, getting rid of plants hurts me too! It's very hard for me to throw out a plant until I'm sure there's no way it will live.

I realized that I am not keeping track of the exact number of items I have been tossing. I was thinking it would take me longer to count and then I would never toss. I am going to try to start keeping better track as I have already thrown out about 500 items. I will start with that number anyway and add. Of course this may change if I start counting and forget to toss. Today I recycled 20 papers. 520
