Since the last check in, I have got rid of one of the boxes of books I'm donating to the local charity shop. The first week, they were only accepting one box/bag per person a day. Last week, they weren't accepting any donations on either of the days I had time to make a trip there. :-( This is discouraging, but I will persist, especially as I made another box of books — so now all the books I'm keeping can fit on the shelves.
I have the garage much better organised and am nearly done with breaking down some final bits so they will fit in the car for a trip to the tip. (Week after next, maybe?)
Another load of household recycling went on Monday, so that's down to less than a bag's worth. (Now to stay on top of it....) I also cleared several things off the dining table and/or my to-do list. All of this is reminding me how much nicer things feel when there isn't visual clutter everywhere....
As a result of all of this, I was able to return two more of the plastic storage crates I borrowed. And I've identified some more areas to work on/things that can leave the house over the next couple of weeks.
(I shall be back later to cheer on other people's efforts! Love the accountability these posts provide.)
