Thanks lucie, that means a lot. Meanwhile, that... that was a bag. A bunch of stuff from 2010 Comic Con. Of course, I couldn't just toss it all like a sane person, I had to look at EVERY flyer and card first. Gads. 33 bags in 33 days.

I am going to claim "bag" #11 for clearing up a ton of digital info. I took care of yesterday and today old emails, trashed what I didn't need, archived some with info and others to "folders" in my gmail. Deleted some folders I am no longer using. A bunch of financial stuff was there and feels great to have my "important" and "other" folders all clear.

"Bag #12" .... worked in the garage. Hubby loaded up stuff we already had ready for Good Will. But then we decided to take a look at what we could get rid of. I thought I typed this already but I guess my son wiped out my message when I left the computer.
Anyway loaded up for Good Will from garage - 2 child's step stools - 2 child's potty chairs - food dehydrator (think we used twice and I could've sworn I gave away, but probably convinced myself to keep) - juicer (used a handful of times years ago. Let's face it. I just wasn't that into the "juicing." - small coffee maker
Boxes - rice machine box, soda boxes (lots of them) to recycle
Also tossed from daughter's room an old dollar store Easter basket & her hamper (seen better days. Had another one to replace it.) Seems like there was a lot more.
12 bags down now

robnoxious007, you're not alone. I do the same thing... have to look at each individual piece of paper. I'm sure there are others like us, too. Very cautious.

It almost feels like cheating when I simply take out the kitchen trash. But hey, that's a bag. 34 bags in 34 days. (One more to go!)

Bag #14 done --- cleaned out my coat closet. I was pulling out all the Winter coats, snow pants, boots, gloves, scarves and boxing up. I have one child who will still try to put on a heavy coat ... !! After I boxed up all my items, I had things pulled out and filled up 2 small boxes actually. A bunch of grocery shopping bags, several child backpacks, winter boots and rain boots that don't fit anyone, scarves & gloves never used and nobody's size. I have to wash a bunch of the winter coats now to add to my box I am storing. But feels great to have that closet cleaned out! In the process I found another pair of shoes that fit my 8 yo. Also 2 pairs of new shoelaces for her shoes.

Today was a day to recoup some momentum that was lost. Goal for this 35 day challenge was to purge, sort and stage 900 items in the garage. I have finished the challenge 5 days ahead of schedule for a grand total of 982 items. I will be having a yard sale next week so I will spend next week getting items ready for leftover days. WOOT WOOT I HIT THE GOAL I worked 45 mins in the yard today!!!
