Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What is your one thing to go today? Did you have one yesterday as well?

I'm relying on Youngest for decluttering at the moment -- they've been clearing out various boxes I've had stored, and working out what to keep. I've then been sorting through to work out what how to deal with things. Many many small toys! Everything is being stacked on the shelf in the front hall, and I'll care about it later :)

Oh, and I read 1/3 of a book, noped out, and have added that to the pile!

Today I am Actually remembering to grab the bag of soda can tabs on the way to the UU service. (The synagogue what hosts is collects them for charity.)

Good work on adding the book to the donate pile as soon as you noped out of it. (I tend to leave things sitting around half-read for forever because... I "ought" to like it and maybe I'll like it more next time...?)

My focus has mostly been on removing weeds from the garden, but I did deal with some admin stuff and put some of the paperwork related to that on the to-be-shredded pile. I also bought a new purse and threw the old one in the trash immediately I'd emptied out the contents. Bonus: I didn't put everything that was in the old purse into the new one, partly because it wouldn't all fit easily and partly because I realized I really don't need to carry round things like loyalty cards that I use maybe once a year....

It's been a good weekend! I dropped off the donation bin. My mother took her laptop back and one more thing. I sent a thing to a friend (3 padded envelopes left!). I've added four things to the handmedown box and one to the donation pile (no bin yet!).

Today I've been cleaning out the fridge and the pantry of things that, if Spouse were here, would spark "But I just bought that!" despite the Best By date long past. My goal for the week, as Spouse is gone, is to work through the things that are nearing their Best By dates, by either making them and eating them, or throwing them out. I'd like to be able to see what's in the pantry from now on, rather than have to dig and find we have several boxes of one thing, because we couldn't find one box a while ago and bought more.
