Mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What has been earmarked for rehoming today?

I've been sorting through printouts of academic articles, looking for something that has gone missing, and managed to find duplicates, which have duly gone in the bin. Sadly, the missing item has not been located, but I have rearranged the mess on my desk to the point that I could actually set my computer up and work there, next I want to do some actual work!

Our went a bag of library donations! I also went through a few 'scraps' shoeboxes and recycled paper I'll never use and pulled out stickers to decorate notebooks I'm using now for the heck of it. Why have stickers I'm not sticking?

It's so hard to throw away "but I might use it someday" pretty paper and stationery, isn't it? Well done for identifying what's never going to be used -- and for getting enjoyment out of the stickers now and not at some "later" time that never comes!

[kalloway]

It is! Most of what went was stuff that was basically 'part of a page of X, clipping from magazine, flier with neat art' stuff that really was just junk. ^^;;

I'm definitely discovering what I have and will keep it in mind whenever I go shopping and want to look at various shinies.

Hopefully meeting a buyer over lunch today. Returned a thing to its rightful owner the other day. Spouse started to clean up the garage, though I don't think anything left the premises yet.

I hope the potential buyer turned into an actual buyer! And yay for Spouse making a start on the garage.

[yukonsally]

yup, turned into an actual buyer! My pile of things to sell is getting smaller!

I have a bag started to take to the local thrift store tomorrow. I put one book, two baby blankets, and a few outgrown baby clothes in it so far. I finished another book yesterday and have to finish one by tomorrow to put in the bag.

Great start on the bag for the thrift store -- hope you were able to drop it off as planned.

I finally got rid of 1/4 of the ancient stationery! I never used it even when I wrote longhand. And I even binned... envelopes (apparently we used to run out of them? so I was trained to be frugal).

[tanaqui]

It's so hard to unlearn those "thrifty" habits that are actually bad habits, isn't it? Congrats on binning ancient stationery and un-useful envelopes!

Hooray for less paper and tidier piles!

I got rid of a trash bag of rubbish that had been accumulating for the past month and a bag of garden waste. I've also started putting together a carload of stuff for the tip so that it will be quick and easy to load when I'm ready to make the trip (and what's left will be better organised and take up less space in the garage). And I was able to add two books to the donation pile.
