How is your uncluttering going for the first half of the week?

I've been doing a lot of moving things around, in preparation to be able to sort through them, and 'tis quite on the exhausting side. Having said that, yesterday I moved piles of paper around, throwing out quite a bit -- filled the ~10L bin three times. Monday, I dropped off the bag of Stuff that was sitting in the front hall to an op-shop (and only bought a few things there, one of which was on the shopping list anyway, so it was convenient to get it there). Oh, and I cleaned out an 'empty' container that had been hanging around in the shower, and threw it out.

I posted my 3rd active craigslist listing. I don't think any of the 3 will sell quickly. When they expire, I'll renew one, drop one thing off at a ebay store, and the last thing to a consignment store. Gotta find the right audience!

I think, once I'm back from my morning errands, I am going to attack the bathroom.

The bathroom has two major problems. One is much more the bitesizedcleaning department than the unclutter department, but the other problem is I like to experiment with different scented bath products. And some of them I adore and use frequently, and others I...don't.

I think it is time to get rid of the don'ts. 'Cause I ain't hauling that crap to the new apartment!

Next problem, though, what do with? I mean I could certainly post to my sisters and a couple other locals on Facebook of what perfectly-usable mostly-full bottles of body wash are departing my apartment, does anyone want any, but that seems a likely fail for much the same reason that I don't think I could just donate this stuff to Goodwill: who wants used bath stuff?

But like. Mostly full bottles. Cost me idk $10/bottle? I don't want to be wasteful. But also clearly I am not going to use the stuff up, and it's just sitting there wasting space!

(Dear self: If you get the bathroom all sparkly clean before work today, then you can take a scented bath after work tonight! Think of that!)

So at the weekend I finally managed to get rid of all the large boxes that were stacked in the hallway and cleaned it up - dusting, polishing, vacuuming, cleaning the floor - it looked awesome for about half an hour. Then I started again.

A quick trip up into the loft netted at least 24 books all of which are now in a couple of large bags in the hallway along with a box with a number of other items including a pair of boots that I can't wear.

Since then I've found two old phone books, a number of DVDs which are in different boxes/bags to go to different destinations. I've found a pair of old batteries which are added to a bag of batteries for recycling and have started a bag for out of date and/or unwanted medicines

Along with more progress shredding of the large pile of old work notes, I've also pulled out some clothes to be donated. They were in the "but I might wear this...." category for a couple of years and... they haven't been worn. So I've finally accepted I'm not going to ever wear them and they need to go. :-)
