unclutterUncluttering Week Five & Six (10.21.11)
Things are still going pretty well – I’m using the extra time I have on my hands at the moment to try and make real headway into the uncluttering.
In
1 new handbag hairbrush
3 new printer cartridges
1 box of DVD-RW
4 Crochet magazines
1 piece of lining material
1 belt buckle
1 length of petersham
1 whistle
6 garden plants (Should these count? They’ve been planted into the garden - I didn’t count the stuff that I dug out and took to the composting site)
1 new DVD
Sub total 14
Out
1 book given to sister
1 old camera
1 old phone
3 bags of rubbish from the kitchen (broken/chipped crockery, out of date tins etc)
1 bag of medicines from medicine (all out of date)
1 bag of empty glass jars to recycling – no use for them
2 boxes and 2 large bags to recycling (cardboard, plastic, paper)
1 old printer cartridge
1 bag of old used batteries – to charity recycling
1 old cellphone case (doesn’t fit the current phone)
2 boxes of chocolates (given away – rather than me eating them)
1 t-shirt - old and with a hole in
Not sure whether I can count these – I’ve used up (so far) 4 balls of wool by making scarves which are going to be given to people for Christmas - they were all sitting in a large box of wool all of which is waiting to be used – opinions anyone?
Although I’m not including it in the totals here – I’ve cleaned the kitchen thoroughly and gone through all of the cupboards and the freezer and removed all the well past best before dated food – so although it isn’t changing my total any, I’m still counting it as an achievement
Sub total 22
Intended Recycling/Charity
1 soup ladle (I found three in a drawer and 2 were the same so one’s going)
1 cruet set (because there’s one I use all the time and I found 2 more in the cupboard – thought about getting rid of 2 but 1 matches the crockery so I’ve hung on to that set)
1 DVD box set
1 DVD
1 set of salad serving cutlery
2 glass jugs – never used
2 mugs in presentation boxes
1 fancy tea jar – never used
3 old pairs of curtains
1 bag of old blankets
Current intended declutter total 132 + 14 = 146
Grand Total for week : 124(previous total) + 22 (out) – 14 (in) – 21 (1 per day to 10.31.11) = 111
