Unclutter check-in

[fred_mouse]

What have you achieved in uncluttering recently? Today, this week, this month? The tiniest bit counts!

note: I'm aiming to post check in posts once or twice a week for at least a couple of months. I am not going to aim for any specific day of the week but whenever I'm online and think of it. If other people make check in posts, I'll just skip a few days and then post -- the more people we have doing this the better!

We have made progress! A tip trip for some of the more unusual recycling, prompted by the arrival of a lot more expanded polystyrene; a bag of things dropped off at the charity shop, including a book that originally came from it about 5 years ago and which I have now read (and moved on to the next one); handed some socks I don't like wearing and never choose to wear to my partner, who was sufficiently interested in them that they didn't just go straight into fabric recycling; admitted I am never going to wear the elbow-length velvet gloves and put them in the charity shop pile; and I have successfully got rid of several things brought back from my mother's last summer via Freecycle. (They didn't go previously but did this time. Who knows.)

Also rationalised and catalogued the embroidery floss I picked up from a charity shop in September plus the stash retrieved from my childhood home, so I know what I've got (and have been able to tidy it away into sensible storage); used one of the containers to organise some stationery bits. Which is at least helping with the new stationery bits I have incoming not turning into Piles...

Next job: now I've established it's no use to me, take the yoga kit I was gifted to a charity shop; continue reading current ex-charity-shop book.

... gosh, that's actually quite a lot to have got done since the start of the weekend.

Wow, that sure is a lot of decluttering and a lot of decisions made, yay!

I admire you about the embroidery floss and the stationery containers. I should go through my hobby supplies, mainly stationery but some textile ones, too, and consolidate them, declutter the ones I haven't used in years and see what I have. Every time I tidy up my room, I find something I had forgotten about, usually stationery >.>

Well done on the tip trip, that takes a lot of energy to make actually happen!

And thank you for the reminder that I have 2 pairs of elbow length gloves that should be donated.

Fabulous progress!

I should take your example and work out what I have in embroidery floss. Earlier in the year I moved it all into a single location, and roughly grouped by colour, but I don't actually know what is there!
