weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Hello all, I fell off the uncluttering wagon in, er, January. But I have a surprise! free! Sunday today so I thought I'd try to get back on it, and check in with the community while I'm at it.

My theme for today is "getting stuff to actually leave". So far I have

• sorted the giant pile of outgrown clothes (which I made nearly a month ago!) between nibling A, nibling B, and charity shop
• realised one of the garments for nibling A needed washing, so that prompted me to start a laundry load
• found boxes to make parcels for the niblings (well, actually their respective mothers), wrote a note to go inside each one, stacked the parcels waiting for the laundry to finish
• bagged up the clothes for the charity shops, and added my Gift Aid donor id to each bag
• took photos and made four Freecycle posts for assorted things waiting to be freecycled

Nothing has actually left the house yet, but a bunch of things are a lot closer to doing so. Progress! Now I'm taking a break, further adventures will be added in the comments.

How are you all doing this weekend?

It's definitely something I struggle with, but I'm hoping if I keep plugging away at it, I will get somewhere.

That makes two of us! I once had a black trash bag sitting in a corner of my room for over 6 months. But I needed that time to see that I really never went back for anything that was in there, not even once. After that, I was able to let go of that trash bag easily. I mean, the timeline isn't ideal but better late than never. ;-)
