Mid-week uncluttering

What are you finding to rehome at present?

I ended up at work early on Tuesday, which meant I could leave early, and drop the large box of unused padded envelopes off to the friend who put their hand up for them! Tonight, I've almost accidentally rehomed a t-shirt and a house-dress to a visiting friend. Friend turned up straight from work to have dinner with us, and asked to borrow a t-shirt. When they exclaimed over one I pulled out, I realised that one that I had got in a 'grab-bag' that doesn't quite suit any of the household is exactly their thing, and it turned out to fit them nicely.

whoa, how is it Wednesday already!?

I donated 16 small books to my kid's school yesterday, as well as some other things they can use that my kids outgrew.

Two more shirts and a small water bottle went into the handmedown box.

Tonight I'll send a "care package" to a friend (she'll think it's funny, I promise) and I have two padded envelopes that can be recycled as soon as I take the labels off.. then.. I will have ONE envelope left. ONE. That's fantastic news because ONE left, and I haven't found anything to send to friends in a while.

None of this stuff makes a visual difference in my life, but I'm still happy it's gone!

Well done!

Fabulous that you've managed to find so many things, and homes for them to go to.

Well done on your progress, and how fortuitous to have just the thing at just the right time!

I've put a few more DVDs and books to go (some unread.... This is a double achievement as I don't normally like to get rid of things I haven't at least tried to read, but the ones I haven't read are continuations of a series I've read the first two of, they were okay, but not good enough for the time and space they are taking up - plus I know somewhere they would be a better fit).

I was so pleased to rehome this t-shirt -- I've felt so guilty about not particularly caring for it, because it is beautiful, but wearing it declares an interest in a fandom I could not care less about.

Go you for making the decision on the whole series from the first book, and passing on even reading those two books! I, too, really hate rehoming books I haven't read, so the fact that I don't make time to read at the moment is doubly disappointing to me on that front.
