Next I'll hit the VHS tapes...

[eight_demands]

Out:
30+ old cassette tapes
1 (broken) cassette Walkman

I don't know why I held on to these for so long! The Walkman, my last cassette player, broke about three years ago, but I kept thinking maybe I could get it fixed. These are my very last cassette tapes, and it feels like the end of an era. It really does feel good to finally get rid of them, though!

Totalising...I really wish that was a real word.

Old Total: 38 down

In: 1 x New log basket (hooray)

Out: 1 x old log basket
1 x pair of socks with hole in (told you there'd be more)
1 x supposedly amazing hair thingy I've never managed to get to work with my hair
1 x old microwave (new one came in before this started, but I'm counting because we're awful at getting rid of old electrical things)
1 x set microwave tray things from old combo microwave this one doesn't need/can't use
1 x small group out of date food type things not replaced
1 x pair of slippers which got covered in spilled (will go sticky) drink and I didn't like anyway

New Total: 44 items down :)

The weekend at last...

[peaceful_sands]

So work wise it's a hectic few weeks, coming home and wreaking vengeance on the clutter is a relief! And boy have I been wreaking vengeance! I've finally got round to starting that cupboard under the stairs that has far too much in common with a black hole in outer space - sucking things in and I've got no idea what's in there! So far I've managed to find old papers going back as far as the '90s! Almost old enough to take to a museum - LOL!

Ins for the second half of the week - 0 - yup an absolutely brilliant zero. \0/

Outs for the second half of the week -


1 purse (charity shop)
1 pack of shower gel (used and not replaced)
1 fun to learn pack (nephew)
3 old appointment diaries (bin)
1 tape of children’s poems
1 tub of body lotion
1 tub of crème bath
1 book of children’s poems
1 pair of trainers that were uncomfortable and always gave me bruised toes - given to someone they will hopefully fit better.
7 Classical CDs – given to local school music Dept
7 music CDs (charity shop)
40 children’s books (given to sister)
2 tubs of magnetic letters (given to sister)
1 tub of word tiles (given to sister)
1 big bag of old papers (burnt)
1 bag of miscellaneous junk (bin)
8 old VHS videos (bin)
1 video (charity shop)
Total 79 things out

So the math work out is ...

191 - 0(in) + 79(out) - 7 (days to next Sunday) = 263

Grand Total - 263 more things out than in All this and I still haven't got to the back or bottom of that cupboard.

I'm worried this isn't sustainable!
