Weekly (ish) check in

[fred_mouse]

This is your weekly(ish) check in for the last week in October (and, because I forgot entirely last week, you can skive off this week, and tell us about something you decluttered last week, and get to feel good about it!)

What decluttering have you done? Anything you want to get done by the end of the month?

Also, because November is a month of all sorts of different challenges, I'm contemplating experimenting with posting here daily -- I know from a crafting group I'm in that the daily posting is very motivating for me, and I have so much decluttering that needs doing. I can't promise that I'll make the whole month, or absolutely every day, but if I do go ahead, the intent is there.

We have booked a bulk rubbish collection for the 18 November; we did the first pass of finding rubbish by rearranging the shelves in the garage (which gives us more space), so I have a stash that will leave the house later.

Goal for november is to actually get everything in the front hall that I want to rehome out of the house.... but for the end of the month? no particular goals.

I did not do much cleaning I've been so overwhelmed with other stuff.... But at least there's always next month

[fred_mouse]

Here's to next month being less overwhelming.

3 bags of stuff donated to the charity shop yesterday! More to do, but that's three bags out. An old duvet cover still in good condition, some glasses we no longer use, and a yoga wheel that's the wrong size.

I've also sorted some books to go, but that has to wait until next time we see my mother who runs a charity secondhand bookshop.

Well done on getting lots of things out of the house!

Purged 4 big black garbage bags for donation from my linen closet and bedroom closet. Learned from Youtube how to fold a comforter nice and compact ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5GacNo2PuE )! Bonus pic of my cat.

Those are impressive results. I saw your post about the massive cleaning a while back but wow, this is just amazing!

It's such a good feeling, isn't it?

Feels sooo gooood. I'm pretty pleased with myself, haha!!

[fred_mouse]

Look at those lovely shelves! There is space! And the Stuff is no longer defying gravity! It must feel so good.

.. And the floor - I haven't realised that pics four and five were the same space!

Yess. It was pretty bad before. But this past weekend, my husband and I just tackled the whole house. Everything is gone. It feels SO GOOD. Now I have to not buy anything ever again, rofl. XD

[fred_mouse]

Not buying stuff takes time as a habit, but it does happen.

I used to be super frugal and minimalist but kind of lost it after I moved, so hopefully I can get back to it!

[fred_mouse]

Oh, in which case, you know you can do it, you just have to get back in that headspace. Easy to say, hard work to do!
