unclutterHow is your weekend uncluttering going?
I know I sorted something out yesterday, but I've already managed to forget it (apart from making sure the open pack of biscuits was finished, as per yukonsally's suggestion yesterday). Friday, I took a randomish swatch of knitted yarn that I think might have been the start of a scarf (it was in a bag donated to me; the yarn was one of those matting ones, so frogging it wasn't an option) plus three scarves that had turned up from various places and gave them to a school teacher friend who is going to put them in some collection in their classroom (she was asking for blue things for a water cycle, and two were blue).
Today, I sat at the desk, and tidied a corner. Someone had pulled partner's collection of playing cards out and kind of distributed them across the space, so I sorted through and put them back in their pigeon hole. A couple of cards that didn't match any of the sets were binned (they were the wrong size for contributing to a cheat deck), and a set of Donkey cards that were too dilapidated for small hands also went in the bin. Plus some other bits of paper.

Date: 2017-08-13 01:01 pm (UTC)I am getting the glutened food collected for delivery to my mother, though (her house is not GF and mine and my sister's is gonna be). Not sure that counts bc we're getting a bunch of Mom's GF food in return; Mom's not gonna need it so much when sister is living with me instead of her...

It does mean that I'm one of the world's slowest unpackers, but at least I consider everything that comes out of the boxes.

Date: 2017-08-16 02:00 am (UTC)I'm guessing from the phrasing that nothing sold? In which case, all the sympathies, and good luck with finding homes for everything.
(If instead you mean that everything sold (which would be how I would use the phrase), then \o/)
