weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you found to rehome this weekend?

If I've done any uncluttering, I don't remember it. Kids and I used up most of one sheet of nail stickers before heading out to the local Pride march, but that is about it.

Given that we came home with two 'YES' Pride flags, and I've bought over 20 books over the last two days, we're going a little backwards!

Last week I went through the hats/scarves/gloves boxes in our hallway (which are in active use now the weather is properly cold) and culled a bunch of things no-one actually wears and put them in a bag for the charity shop - the bag is still sitting under the stairs, but I intend to walk it round to the shop in about an hour.

I've lost a bit of momentum this past few weeks due to colds in the family, but I just spent about 30 minutes tackling the Paperwork Pile of Doom on my desk. Most things went into the filing cabinet, but I had a small pile for the paper recycling, and a handful of miscellaneous bits of rubbish for the bin when I was done. Plus a package to mail to a friend (that has been buried there an embarrassingly long time, but anyway, done is better than perfect), and my tax return to do online today. A whole 2 months before the deadline!

Well done on decreasing the Paperwork Pile of Doom, and the assorted associated tasks. I'm also impressed that you managed to cull from your hat/scarf/glove box -- whenever I try and do the same, I find that partner, who only ever wears one specific hat, has emotional attachments to multiple hats that no-one uses. I wish that we could just keep them somewhere else!

I have a box under my bed of clothes to which I'm emotionally attached and may not ever wear again - keeps them from cluttering up my actual wardrobe. Would a similar Important Hats box work for partner?

I'm hoping that the planned summer rearrangement of the walk-in robe might lead to storing a box in the inaccessible corner that holds things we are never going to wear again, so I might try getting the hats put in there as well!
