That's fantastic progress in the spare room - go you! Also, yay for the fig tree being gone.
I was going to do a little bit of work in the garage today, but as I woke up with unexpectedly intense back pain (and no idea what I'd done to make it hurt so much), that seemed like a bad idea.
Instead, I spent 10 minutes on some stuff stored in my office, as that's the other area I'm looking to do work on. I've already worked through it two or three times, so I'm not expecting to find masses of stuff to get rid of, but I know there's stuff in there that I'm going to be willing to let go of this time.
Today, I tackled a box of board and card games and jigsaws, having already got rid of maybe 90% of the stuff I inherited from my mum several years ago. I'm not sure how likely I am to use what I've kept or who I'll play the games with, but it's little enough that I'm prepared to give it house room.
This time I found two items for donation: a set of chess pieces (apparently I'd already got rid of the board that I thought was in there...! And if I want to play chess again, I'll probably get an app.) and a jigsaw that I've done two or three times and enjoyed but am unlikely to do again.
I'm also throwing away the four of the seven decks of playing cards I'd kept, and holding on to the three that are unused or barely used. (Really, past self, why did you think you needed SEVEN decks??) And I took the Monopoly set out of the falling-apart box and bagged up the pieces and put the box in the recycling. It'll take up a lot less space and I'm probably less likely to lose bits!
