unclutter | Onward, ever onward ;P

Last counting post was the 8th and I had ousted 60 more things than I needed to for 1 a day (which is a good start). So another week down and how do I stand now?

Out went ...

5 unopened boxes of chocolates (Christmas gifts) (donated for staff consumption at work)
1 soft toy penguin (charity shop)
9 CDS (charity shop)
1 old Christmas stocking (bin)
1 hat (put in bag to go to SA)
1 pr fluorescent pink gloves! (SA)
1 pr trousers (bin)
1 vest (bin)
1 strange pair of socks (bin)

1 multipack of out of date chips(bin)
1 out of date half eaten box of crackers (bin)

So that's 21 out (I'm only counting food where it's not in normal circulation of in and out and being eaten - so the chips and crackers don't actually count, but the gifted boxes of chocolates do)

In ...

So I haven't been shopping for anything this week but...

4 crochet magazines (these are on a standing order and arrive once a month and build up into a pack)
1 pack of fitness dvds & associated equipment (ordered prior to the new year but only just arriving)
1 soft toy (freebie sent through post – not ordered *sigh* - supposedly this is a reward for a membership!)

so that's 6 in. I must resist the urge to go buy anything else.

This week's total is 15 more out than in, which added to the running total and taking away the next 7 days, leaves me with . . . (busy counting on fingers) . . . 68 extra items out so far this year.

Project for the week ahead . . . trying to find time to open the door on the cupboard under the stairs ('cause you can be sure there's junk lurking in there with the spiders!)
