Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you found to rehome today?

I've done another pass through the plastics and jars. What I don't get is how my three teens are going through quite so much peanut butter and jam. Either that or the containers are spawning. Either way, there are now several more jars to be taken to the op-shop, and a dozen more containers in the recycling. Plus yet another shirt. I put it on, hated the way it felt, and nearly put it away again, until I realised how much better the second shirt felt. Someone with skinny arms can have a nice winter t-shirt.

I finally put together my new desk chair. That I got for xmas. As in, it's been sitting in the box in the hall for nearly ten months and I just kept putting other things on top of it, but I made it and it's great and I'm sitting in it. So while it's not quite getting rid of anything, it is at least not a box in the hall, getting used, or inviting other clutter.

Great job! I can completely sympathise with something sitting needing doing for months, when it could be solved in a frustratingly short period of time.

It's a very bad habit of mine. "This'll take forever, I'll do it later." and when I finally do it, it's like fifteen minutes and was totally un-horrible.

Ah. One of my dreadful habits is related -- bring something home that I'm excited about, put it aside for six months before I do anything with it.
