Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you found to set free this weekend?

I gifted a friend's (ballet obsessed) child with a pair of ballet slippers (with ribbons!) that youngest had outgrown, in the hope that that will dissuade said child from playing around with the set of pointe shoes they have been given. I also added something to the 'leaving the house' box, but can't remember what. So, two items for two days means I'm still meeting my goals of at least one a day!

I identified two sets of bedding we rarely use because they don't fit/don't work well. One set needed laundering and is in the machine now; I bagged up the other set and dropped it round to our local charity shop this afternoon (also helping my step count for the day!)

I also dropped off a small stack of romance paperbacks that have been sitting unread for over two years, which I originally got free from a colleague doing her own decluttering.

I binned two plastic food storage boxes with broken lids that have been sitting at the back of the cupboard where we store soft drinks for at least the last few months - which meant I had room to put away the excess soft drinks I bought on sale this week.

Lots of things dealt with! Well done!

I love the goal of one item a day. Manageable and effective!

I find it aspirational, at the very least. I can't always manage it, but at least I feel like it averages out (because a busy day of uncluttering is often followed by one or several in which I don't get anything dealt with)

I remembered I returned 2 things to the store and used the store credit to buy 3 things that are immediately useful, and saving the rest of the credit for food. Well worth it.

Making good use of clutter! Well done.
