weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

Yes it is Monday, but I'm calling it still the weekend because I'm home sick, and I spent all of yesterday in bed as well.

What uncluttering did you achieve this weekend? Big or small, picking something up off the floor and binning it/finding it a home or getting rid of a piece of unloved furniture, it all counts!

I'm going to claim last weekend's successes, given that yesterday's attempt had me crawling straight back in to bed. I cleared the top of the bureau and the bedside bookshelf and the bedside table, grouped things into sensible piles, and found pretty containers to hold some of the things (some are still in throw away takeaway containers, but at least they are grouped). In the process, found a few things that could just be binned. And I have a bowl that is 'I am out of steam, come back to these'

Well done. Hope you feel better soon.

I've been gradually filling a box with books that I've either finished reading or given up on. This weekend I decided to get rid of some audio books that I won't listen to again - the result was I had to swap the box I was filling for a bigger one which is now filled and then I started over and have put one book yesterday into the original small box. I also did a quick hunt through the closet and drawers and managed to fill a bin bag with clothes to be donated.

I'm going to try and find a few more things that can go and then hopefully by the end of the month I'll be able to take everything to a charity drop off.

I also did a bit of sorting of food in cupboards/fridge/freezer and have been using up things that need to be used up or throwing out if it's not safe to eat any more.

I did some sorting of a box of cards for all occasions and am contemplating removing a few and donating them as I have too many that I don't think I'll use.

Nice work on finding items to donate, and other other sorting!

I went through a small set of drawers and found several pieces of clothing to add to the do-donate bag. I also organized the drawers, refolded items and made the seasonal clothing more accessible.

Nicely done!
