Edited to add: I forgot I also threw out a box of christmas candy that neither one of us liked and was on the kitchen counter.
So 2010 to go!

Hi everyone and a wonderful new year to you all. Last year I joined in the challenge to get rid of 2016 items never really believing that I actually had 2016 items I could get rid of. Boy was I wrong, by the end of the year I had more than exceeded my target. I counted everything from deleting old emails and unwanted photos on my computer to all the unwanted grocery receipts shoved in my handbag or littering the car right down to the old wilted lettuce sulking in the corner of my fridge, as well as about a dozen horrible, smelly, invasive mice that got helped on their way to rodent heaven. Anything goes!! And the bonus is that every little piece of unwanted, unloved and unnecessary junk that goes out of our lives the better we feel. I love this challenge, no matter how much or how little you do manage to get rid of, everyone is a winner. I'm going to give it a go again this year cos all those papers just keep on creeping in again and this is the year I want to clean out my junk room.

cando Your bottle of Afrin reminded me of a bottle of Aleve dated 09/2011 that I have picked up and put back multiple times. I'm gonna save a lot of time getting rid of that. I also recycled 1 coffee tumbler for a gas station for 2016 with cheap refills. .............total for the year 6

Amazing what can be done sitting down for fifteen minutes! Today I deleted 11 spam emails and 184 old emails from my inbox, then got rid of 47 bits of junk mail, envelopes, receipts, tissues and shopping lists from my car, handbag and kitchen table. A total of 242 items for today and 300 for the year to date. The other 58 items are the result of sitting down for fifteen minutes a day for the past four days going through hard copies of old genealogical family data sheets and snippets of info that I know have been put on computer and backed up. At long last I have decided to allow myself to realise that I really don't need to keep hard copies of information that has been recorded in two places and shared with several other people.
