unclutterWhat uncluttering have you achieved over the weekend?
I did a lot of rearranging, so that we have more space, but mostly for a null amount of decluttering. Saturday morning we collected a table from one friend who has moved house (and can't fit it any more), Saturday afternoon we sent the old kitchen table out the door with another friend. The new table in the folded down size is the same as the old table in the folded out size, so the space taken up is the same (although we've since expanded the new one; not sure how long it will stay like that). And I've moved a number of books that were scattered over many horizontal surfaces (including much of the games room floor) and lined them up in front of the long (~3m) bookshelf, as if the floor were another shelf. As this only partially obscures the books on the shelf, I'm calling it a win. I found 6 books that I want to rehome, but three of them didn't make it past eldest (ooh, I like those two; I haven't read that one).
The only other thing I found to rehome was a solid shampoo from Lush that the two scent sensitive kids thought was fine while we were in the shop, but when it was brought home was found to be merely less offensive than the rest of the options. We've been using it (still wrapped) as an 'air freshener' in the kids bathroom, but when it was too much for me when I walked in there yesterday, and neither kid wants to open it, we passed it on to a visiting friend.
Today, I've found one DVD that I don't want to watch again (March of the Penguins), so once that has gone past the rest of the household, I need to find it a new home.
