Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you uncluttered this weekend?

I've been throwing out empty containers from the laundry, but not much else. Electronically, I've been filing emails. I'm joining some friends doing a 100 day project, nominally starting 1st September. My goal is to sort through all the unfiled/flagged emails I've had lying around for far too long. So, I created the File of Shame, moved everything older than two days in there, got rid of some 'temporary' folders that I haven't looked in in months, and came up with nearly 3,000 emails. I've dealt with nearly 300! Sure, these are easy ones (school notices from last year, junk mail, Facebook notifications), but every little bit helps!

I took a car load of boxes containing things which I am donating to a local school via a friend! Success! That two carloads in two weekends (two different schools benefitted). I've also spent twenty minutes one night this week organising paperwork and throwing out envelopes that paperwork came in and getting rid of no longer needed receipts.

I've acquired two new pairs of shoes but with the aim of getting rid of two or more that I'm going to give up on ever being able to break in and wear comfortably. I've also sorted some books and DVDs that I've finished with into boxes with the aim of perhaps doing a car boot sale. I've also put two bags of no longer required clothing into bags in the car to go into a charity bin, however, I need to take them back out so that I can put them in smaller bags that fit inside the donation bins!

Two carloads of stuff out is massive. Well done!

And all the rest as well -- sounds like you are really moving along.

well done! Inspiring!

I'm going to ask the middle school & high school if they want some nice things now my girl is going off to college

I suspect there will be some happy teachers!
