Thanks and further progress
Sep. 4th, 2013 11:24 pmThank you for the suggestions in answer to my last post of getting past the guilt to keep throwing things out. Let's just say that the problem isn't over, but that I am still heading forward which I'm counting as a win.
In other news, things I've actually let go or brought in are under the cut.
Out
The following went to the local Cancer Research shop -
1 pair of trousers
5 books
1 nail care kit
11 DVDs
5 blouses and 2 jackets
1 suit
1 handbag
4 pairs of shoes
4 set of candles
1 set of scented hearts
1 belt
1 pair of glove/mittens
2 packs of incense sticks
5 scarves
1 purse
1 audio cassette book
1 sand picture
1 whale picture
2 radiator humidifiers
And to other places...
2 audio CD books via GreenMetropolis.com
2 books beyond repair in the bin
1 DVD given to a family member
Out = 56
In
3 books
1 audio CD book
In = 4
So as of today I have 108 (previous total out) + 56 (out) - 4 (in) = 160 out
I also cleared the freezer of old/out of date/ freezer burned food and went through one kitchen cupboard to clear out of date food and re-organize what was in there. I'm not counting it towards my 'decluttering' totals, but rather in my re-organize my life and living space to make it better goals. Similarly I went through one box of papers and filed what needed to be filed and have put into a bag stuff that needs to be shredded/burned (although I haven't got around to the actual shredding/burning as yet).
