Weekend Uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

Writing this one early, because friend and partner and I are going to a Rugby World Cup game this arvo, and chances are I'll be completely wiped by the time I get home (forecast is for 32°C, and I've not adjusted to summer temps yet).

What have you found to rehome, reuse, recycle, or otherwise convert from clutter?

I've used up one of the foods identified as needing using up, plus made more inroads on the popcorn and the poppy seeds. And youngest discovered that we still have the blender attachment for the food processor we rehomed a while ago. So that has gone into the 'waiting' pile, while we try and remember who took the old food processor!

Sounds like you're making good progress on the food "uncluttering"!

I filed some paperwork and winnowed out older paperwork (such as old versions of things) -- not much, but it's in the recycling and not cluttering up my files.

I also took some stuff to the recycling point and got in a short walk in cold but sunny weather.

Yesterday, I packed up the last of the huge amount of shredded paper I produced earlier in the year, which will be going out of the house tomorrow. (Time to make some more....)

And I've been working my way through the book/DVD/TV shows I want to read/watch. Not much actually going out of the house, but quite a few things crossed off my To Do list.

Many small wins - good going!

The project of using up the old food is going slowly, but at least it is happening. Worst case with some of it, I'll be putting out out for the chickens to eat, so not exactly wasting it. I just had plans that I was going to cook interesting and different things when I wasn't working, and I've just not been well enough to deal.

um... well... another off weekend. I stopped by my favorite second hand furniture store in search of an office chair, which I found. She's closing shop! Which has nothing to do with why I bought 2 Christmas decorations (I have about 5 at home), things for my mother, and 2 more wall decorations (that have been hung already).

BUT at the fiber festival, I didn't buy any yarn! Just a bag for a friend and a bag for each kid as a kiddy ditty bag for travel toys...

I'm not even sorry, guys.

I don't think you should be sorry for buying useful things that will actually get used - no way does that count as clutter. Hopefully the wall decorations are giving you joy!

I redeemed myself! I decided if I was going to go out and get a coffee I didn't really need, I had to have a bag to donate to the second hand store on the way. And I did! And two more give aways on fb are ready to ship this week. Whew!

Well done!
