mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How is everyone going with their midweek uncluttering?

If I have found anything big, I have forgotten it, although there appear to be more items in the 'for the op-shop' pile than there were, so maybe the kids have been helping. What I have discovered is that everyone around here is uncluttering, and several op-shops are turning away donations, so I think I'll leave them in the hall for now!

This morning though, I went through my pile of papers (the small one on the table, not the big 'for later' one in the spare room) and extracted all the obvious to do lists. I got more than half of them read through, and the remaining relevant tasks transcribed in to Trello or Habitica, as appropriate, and then the lists binned! The jobs still need doing, but at least the paper isn't taking up space on my table any more!

I set aside a few pairs of socks that have seams that hurt my toes to take next time I go to the thrift shop.

I've also put a bunch of DVDs in our binder, so I have a box of DVD cases to donate to the library. I did this a few years ago when we first got the binder and found 3 libraries in my county that were super appreciative of the donation since they have tiny budgets, so I'll see who can use them this time.

I have a bit of time to knit and crochet now, so I'm making cat beds for my own cats and also making beds to donate. It's a nice way to destash yarns I'm not too fond of. I used up a skein last night and will probably use all of the skeins of Fun Fur I bought for my big kitty, Stuart's bed. Once I'm done with this bed, I'll see what yarns I think my new permanent foster kitty Miles will like. He's tiny, so I won't need nearly as much for him as I do for Stuart.

Well done on all you've done so far and on having plans for dealing with yarn stashes! good luck with the cat beds
