Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What movement have you seen on the uncluttering front this weekend?

I've managed a large and some small wins. The big one was finding a home for the ping-pong table, and having it (and all the paraphernalia!) leave the premise. The small include rehoming craft items; going through some fabric and picking some to rehome; sorting through books and working out which ones might be duplicates, and putting them in an obvious and labelled place to find once I can get to the right shelf to check; moving a pile of archive and back-up CDs/DVDs to the storage box that we bought years ago, and getting putting the smaller ones aside to rehome. Oh, and taking a box to the op-shop! I'm not sure exactly how to count that one, because we came home with about as much as we donated (including a book I've been wanting to read, but hadn't got the motivation up to try and get hold of it. And I'll probably send it straight back when I'm done!)

In the not yet a win -- I've advertised some books, but they haven't had any nibbles (even though they are free).

I've cleaned off two landing zones, one of which has stayed cleaned. I cleaned up the storage area a bit and took a small donation to goodwill. Currently have a broken thing at the curb to go out with the trash tomorrow.

OH! AND I found a use for all those not-so-great crayons around the house! I made fire starters: http://re-thinkgreen.com/2016/05/12/diy-fire-starters-dryer-lint-crayons/ Now the crayon box is filled with good crayons (all Crayola, they just draw nicer) and all the freebie, cheapie, and give away crayons we've ended up with will start fires for us!

*waves pompoms and blows trumpets to celebrate keeping a landing zone cleared* That's a HUGE achievement! Well done on the other wins, too. :-)

And I've no need for fire starters myself, but that's a very neat recycling trick!

Oh that's nifty! Thanks for sharing.
