I got rid of a *bunch* of stuff today. I had a clear-headed moment when I opened up a tin holding old pens/markers/crayons and dumped the entire contents into the garbage. Wow, that's a first for me! But, I have another identical tin, with identical contents - I wonder why I didn't dump the other one? Maybe just knowing I had the back-up made the 1st one easier? Tomorrow's another day - garbage day!

I got rid of a whole bunch of old pens/markers/pencils (like, 2 cookie tins full! OMG, why did I ever think I'd need to keep them, anyway?) and I've also got 2 boxes of novels packed for donations. Or maybe take to the secondhand bookshop first? IDK, but they're out of here - yay!

Tossed several items while sorting clothes, I'm going to call it 6. I've also bagged up a bunch of books to go, and some other clothes that were in ok condition. I'll count them when they're out.

saffron well done-that is a BUNCH of stuff up and out. We have 3 big bags of stuff ready to go out in the morning. I have not been counting individual items yet because most of the stuff I have been tossing is trash. Today I threw out one of my old feather headpieces. It was hard but it was turning colors and yellowing pretty badly. I gave myself about 15 ways I could repurpose it before it actually made it in the bag!! I also threw out a scarf Mom bought me-never wore it and it had a really weird smell to it.

Thx, MrsMessy! WTG on getting rid of your feather headdress! It's hard to let some of those old items go.

It has been quite a while since I posted but need to update what I have been able to get accomplished in the past week since I have been bad about keeping track of what has been leaving the house. I will just post what I know I have gotten rid of in the past week.
