magda, what about deleting 91 emails? Would you "count" those as part of the items?
WTG oust! Belated congratulations on getting to 2017 items with time to spare!

Hi mynicehome. I set up “rules” for me for this challenge that it is for tangible stuff so not digital also for things that I don’t discard as part of daily life— like an empty cat food can or the days junk mail. It is for things that have evolved into stuff sitting around that needs to go. But I think I am very close now; 70 flash cards recycled 1 Tape dispenser out 1 flashlight out 1 notebook recycled 1 chapstick out 2 toys out 3 cards out 1 plastic container out 1 phone case out 1 box out 1 calendar out 83 out 2009 out! 8 to go!!!!!

Gotcha.
What about a last dump of the purse? You've done terrific!
I think I might join in for 2018. I probably blew my best chance with this year though...I got rid of an awful lot of stuff.
You can do it magda!

CONGRATS MAGDA fireworks and sparklers for you..enjoy them I will tidy up after myself.
2018 looks like a good challenge for me. Paperwork is the most items but clothes and clutter is the biggest task. I set up a page in my 2018 google sheets with formulas to count down the numbers and a goal number for every category even pounds lost on my diet.
