mid-week check-in

[yukonsally]

Who has time for decluttering this week?  It's Thanksgiving in the US and the start of the holiday season.  Lots of holidays in the next six weeks or so, in all faiths and countries.  Some involve material goods and gifts.  I like the eating holidays best, myself.  Bring on the pie!

I've tried to clear some more space for the impeding gifts for the children.  I've listed another 3 things for sale as a lot, and am gathering up bits for another toy lot for sale.  Added a thing to the handmedown bin and two things to the donation bin.  I think I have identified some headphones that are broken and can be recycled. 

I donated a CD to the library's upcoming book/media sale.  I added some sweets from our pantry to our holiday feasting for this weekend.  I gave away 7 or so skeins of yarn I've accepted I won't use.  Small progress is still progress.

No holidays here in the near-ish future, instead we are doing all the end of the year windups, and I'm running short of hours in the week. I hope your being busy is more enjoyable! I was out of the house/on the go for 15-16 hours yesterday, urgh.

I've finished off the last of a set of tea bags I'm not planning on replacing, so now I have to work out what to do with the empty jar. I really like these jars, but they are the wrong shape for the tea drawer, and I don't need one anywhere else at the moment, but replacing it will be difficult. I've got it sitting on the corner of my work desk near the door -- anyone who makes a 'oh, I could use one of those' comment as they walk past the door will get it. Otherwise, probably in the jam jars cupboard, which is a bit bare at the moment.

And this weekend looks to be a major win for decluttering. Others in the nearby streets have started putting stuff on their verges, so I'm assuming this weekend is bring out your dead weekend ('curbside collection'). Which means that the large objects near the washing line will all be gone!!!!

Ooh, good luck on getting rid of all those large objects! I'm sure it will make a huge difference visually when they're gone. :-)
