I have not posted - but on a daily and regular basis - I am bending over and picking up "stuff" that does not belong on the floor. Things I had been stepping over forever! Some things are tossed, some are set aside to file, some are put away. I wish I could say I am all done, but every day brings a new box that decides to tip and spill all over!!
I am slowly chugging away at clothes for the church rummage sale. Up to three or four bags now. More to come! Also a nice pile Of books and a couple boxes of household stuff.

It's so great to see everyone's progress. This thread was a really good idea! Was it you, ohblondie, who created it? I can't remember. Saturday, I didn't keep up with the challenge. I didn't time myself yesterday, but I think I made up for it. I'm sure I did at least an hour's work in the apartment. Today, I will manage my half hour, but I'm not there yet. Still need to tidy the non-kitchen rooms.

I can't believe all of the change I have done this time around. I needed to do it. Glad I did but I sure had to come to terms with some painful things.

Whatever I wasn't giving away, I was throwing away. There was a great clearing of space:)

One more day to go ohblondie This has been a great thread. A huge challenge for me because it required long-suffering.(TBH, I didn't suffer that bad) Suffering is subjective...sometimes our "overage" causes us to suffer more. Friday all of my cans will be empty and I have plenty more to put in them. So I will fill them up...leaving about half a can for kitchen and household garbage for next week. My pile will be gone but I will continue to use this service until. Thank you for encouraging us to remove things "getting in the way" Now, time to get ready for the Easter bunny.

Well lent ends on holy Saturday! I dropped off one donation this am. I did 20. 20 to go!
I would like to make the 20 more but I think it won't be my clothes. I'll look at all my stuff to donate. I am down to the really hard stuff now. I am not really a clothes hoarded. All my stuff fits in me bedroom in the closet and dressers. I had also done some purging before lent
So we shall see what happens next!

Well last day I may get out a bag of plastic bags (and I may not!) I gave away most of my citrus this past week and hope I can start juicing the ones I have left (so the rinds will be going!) I was derailed a few times due to illness and our recent adoption of a feral cat but definitely think I got a lot more out of the house than I would have without the challenge so THANK YOU!! PC

Thank you again ohblondie for starting this thread. I'm happy that I participated and succeeded in gathering up (over) 80 items all set to leave the premises. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Warm Easter blessings to all!
