weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How has your weekend gone, uncluttering wise?

I've been camped out at someone else's ice-rink for most of the weekend, watching the Australian synchronised skating nationals, and so have done no uncluttering. On the plus side, we appear to have acquired a minimal amount -- one small soft toy, two programs, and a fabric rose, which seems not bad for a short trip away. Now to see whether we can keep our shopping light over the next two days, so we don't take much home with us (I owe two kids t-shirts, because I only bought one on my last inter-state trip).

I too have done very little but I am at home so I don't really have an excuse. I did rip the backs off about 40 catalogs. They've been accumulating since the middle of October, and are still pouring in. I can't shred them to get rid of the name and address because the shredder has given up. We think the motor is going, so this afternoon we will shop for another shredder. B shreds all the stuff with personal information and I shreed filled letters from Books to Prisoners. The shredder gets a workout.

Getting things set up for quick disposal later surely counts? At least you will know where all the items that need shredding are when you get the new shredder. When our last shredder died, we compromised -- papers that would have been shredded get put aside for lining the compost bucket, and if the pile gets too large, partner has agreed to take things to work and put them through the shredder there!
