Totals etc. This is harder than it looks, isn't it?

OK, since the first of January, the following applies:

Out:

2 bags of general rubbish
1 bag of food waste to compost bin
1 bag of paper/cardboard recycling
1 black bin bag bag of old clothes to charity shop
1 horrible dressing gown that my mum bought me for when I went into hospital returned to the shop it came from, unworn

In:

5 Wii games
1 DVD
1 pair of slippers for The Wife (exchange for the dressing gown).

I am counting the bag of clothes as one item because I'd feel like I was cheating if I put the total number of garments, but it was a full bag and there's going to be more... I hope I am right in thinking that I don't have to count food and other comestibles? Because otherwise my total is going to be even worse...

6 items out
7 items in
3 days passed
Owed: +4

Tomorrow I shall be having a trip to the tip with my dad to get rid of general Christmas/New Year detritus (the bin men came today for the first time since before Christmas, but the same limits on how much you are allowed to throw out were enforced, which is insane) and I shall endeavour not to buy anything while I'm out, so this should put me into the nice healthy minus figures.

Have been a good girl today

I can't decide whether to include new items which belong to the household on my 'in' lists, but I'm trying to make sure any equivalents get put out at least.

there was a lot of snow, or possibly, an alot of snow

IN: 2 (PS3 remote, new snowbrush for the car)

OUT 3: books

So often letting go of something involves letting go of an idea of myself as the person who is going to use that something. Like admitting that the houseplants are really dead. And some of the books on gardening and houseplants never, ever get opened. (Which might explain some of the dead houseplants, really). And sometimes acquiring the new things means letting myself have something to make life easier. Like a not worn out snowbrush.
