Old total: 363 out/used

This month: In: 2 (how I've avoided more in things I don't know) Out and Used: 57 (hooray magazines and badge sewing)

Better than the last few weeks. I'm just glad ebooks aren't physical objects or else I'd have a TON more in items!

Here's my tally for the week of July 23rd - July 29th, and my cumulative progress.

( Numbers under here... )

This week I found something very important while tending to my dresser...MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE! I've kind of been needing that! And my short, nude socks for my flats, but those are less important. Other than that, it was a lazy week, but at least I'm still in the negatives.

i've both been unable to keep up momentum the past few months due to health issues, and lost track of my numbers, but the past week i've managed this:

in:
nothing barring food and meds

out:
1 pair old pajamas
3 ratty shirts
6 ratty pairs underwear
a large pile cardboard (originally for crafts; now for compost)
broken water filter
broken steamer (the kind for moisturising the air)
2 bamboo steamers
tattered woodpile cover
47 old plastic pots (the sort seedlings and wheat grass come in)
2 pairs torn sweatpants
7 pairs ratty socks
1 pair ratty khakis
2 cat toys
2 contractors bags of recycling
2 catbeds (what had been used *cough* inappropriately but the cats and are not washable)
4 cans old paint
6 bottles expired supplements
2 mugs
2 oil lamps
4 vases
a handful of pens that didn't write well enough to be worth keeping
a pile of bubblewrap
a pile of old magazines
a pile of books

totals
in: 0
out: 100

wow, i feel better seeing that written down; i've been down in the dumps about lack of progress!

I've been horrible at posting updates. At least that means I have things to update!
( Multiple things happened this month )
Old total: 333 out/used

New total: 363 out/used

That's almost where I was prior to my last update. Could be worse. I'm going to keep working at it.

The drawer cleaning adventure is going great. I've found stuff I never knew was there, and it's starting to empty out. Soon it'll serve its purpose to store things that I actually need/want/use, rather than just storing everything I throw in it. And two weeks ago when I was selling my games to Amazon, one was missing out of the case. I had originally just pushed things around trying to find it, but when I reached in to throw out an OUT item this week, there it was! That's $6 I'll be getting soon! So this one item at a time thing is definitely working! I can also move around my showering without knocking a bunch of bottles over!

I'm still focusing on my dresser. It's slow going, but more progress has been made doing one item at time, than when I tried to sit down and just do it all. I didn't finish any of the shampoo or other products, but I should next week.

Not much activity this week, but I am trying to use up some of these bathroom products. How did I end up with 4 open bottles of shampoo (plus 2 conditioners)?! There's also 3 face washes and 2 body washes in my shower. I really need to use what I have before I get more. I guess I suffer from "Oooh new [insert product]! I must try it now!" syndrome.

I've been slowly but surely picking away at my dresser. I found a bunch of games that I don't play, so I sold those to Amazon, along with a few DVDs. I should be getting $18.50 for that, so yay! Amazon's buy back program is kind of addicting, so I wonder what else I'll find stashed away. This week I'm going to continue going through this dresser.

This was a pretty good week. I managed to get rid of the hardest items: the stuffed animals from my ex. I also cleared out plenty of broken stuff that was hidden away in various places. I've also found a ton of random things which I'm going to need to sort through. My closet and non-clothing dresser are disaster areas. Instead of tackling them full on, I think I actually will do those one, or a few, item at a time to keep my sanity.

I also just wanted to say that I really appreciate the kind words and support this community gives. You're all awesome!

I appear to have projects coming out of my ears. Uncluttering has taken something of a back seat as the two which I'm working on right now are organising my itunes (my bedroom may look like an explosion of stuff, but woe betide my itunes library looking messy), and identifying all the songs I know (and which of those I can play) in a book, which I'm doing for someone else and need to get the book back to them asap.

Thus, recent totals are rather diminished and I appear to have a distressing number of 'in' things, but going to see Wicked really didn't help. Much thanks to

ciaan for the badges. If the weather doesn't get really hot I should get around to sewing some on soon.

Old total: 368 out/used

New total: 333 out/used

That's the first time since January my total has gone in that direction. Hopefully by next time I'll be be able to bump it back the other way.

Here's my tally for the week of June 10th - June 17th, and my cumulative progress.

( Numbers under here... )

I checked a few places off of my uncluttering list. The first being the basket where I keep my hair/body products. I threw out things that I don't use, to make room for the things I would use if I knew I had them. Next was my dresser. I took out old stuff which I haven't worn in years, as well as torn/worn things, and stuff that was too small. Some headed for the trash, the rest is being donated. I also got new PJs and a rug to replace an old rug and old PJs. I'm not sure where I want to go through next.

Here's my tally for June 1st - June 9th, and my cumulative progress.

Instead of going through my closet and drawers like I intended, I went through a box I used to keep random items in. Hence, a few random items in the OUT list. I also just looked around my room and grabbed things that I felt I didn't really need. I also moved the photos of me with my ex into the box where I keep old letters and birthday cards. The stuffed animals from him were shoved into a storage bin with other things I need to sort through. That's on my list of uncluttering projects, since I need this bin for actual storage, like the extra blankets that I don't need during the Summer. And now that I'm done with school for awhile, I can actually attempt to find something each day.

Current Mood: sleepy

Here's my first tally for the weekend of May 28th - May 31st.

( Numbers under here... )

Not bad for my first weekend! I'm probably going to have quite a few clothing related INs, since my mom and I just went through our clothes not too long ago and got rid of tons of stuff. I will be able to further unclutter my closet and drawers though, because I still need to rotate out the rest of my winter clothes and put my summer clothes in. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff that's worn or just doesn't fit anymore. So my project for next week (I have school projects to finish this week) will be to sort through my drawers and the closet for unnecessary clothing and random objects being stored there.

Current Mood: accomplished

New Total: 368 items out/used

My most recent project is currently almost creating more clutter than it's clearing. I'm collecting up all the stray recipes I or Mum have pulled from magazines etc. over the past few years and will be taping/pasting them into a ringbinder I've already prepared for the purpose. Right now though I've just been doing a lot of cutting out, throwing away paper scraps and making piles by categories. The fact we collect a lot of recipes is not helpful here! It's coming along though.

April project update: April ended with me aaaalmost finished with the box in the bathroom. To be honest I'm going to leave that last little bit until we've used up a few things and I can use the extra room it creates to sort through that bit properly. The huge majority of stuff is now sorted into different bags ready for using.

IN (thank you to decision to go to craft and kitchen gadgets stores mostly):

1 x leave in conditioner (unusual one for me, decided it was probably needed but not a necessity)
thank goodness e-books aren’t being counted (at least I’m not)
1 x sheet mountboard (yes, more, I have more projects)
2 x sheets plastic ‘sewing fabric’
1 x pack jewellery findings
1 x hank of black cotton (friendship bracelet project, using other colours up, discovered a need for black)
1 x organiser thing for shelves
1 x picture frame

OUT:

1 x Bag full of things from bathroom (mostly packaging/old containers from presents of toiletries)
3 x broken pegs
4 x pairs pants
20 x magazines (actually this was mum, but it cheered me up)
1 x mini bottle (now empty moisturiser, I’m on project use-up)

Used up:
moisturiser, 4+ hanks thread, started on some soap, more moisturiser, some shampoo, bath bubbles, various other bathroom/beauty type things.

Old total: 307 down
New total: 328 items down

Also, for anyone interested, the camp blanket I talked about last time, here's a pic:( Read more... ) I only sewed on about 30 or so of the badges in the last batch, I've been collecting for a good few years now.

Old total: 262 down
( details in and out )
New total: 307 items out!

My April project is to complete sewing on my camp blanket badges and complete bathroom cleaning/organisation.

So, my update is that my camp blanket is finished. I'd share pictures but I only just disconnected my camera and I've not uploaded them to this computer. That's probably 30+ badges which are out of the way, even if they don't take up much room I have to be incredibly careful not to use them because they tend not to be replaceable (at least not easily).

The bathroom is...about two thirds done. The only thing I have to actually do is sort through and organise the storage box and immediately around it. I keep putting it off because it's mildly intimidating as the box is full. Also our bathroom is small for moving everything into piles. I'll be doing that this week though.

angelbabe_cj

Some of these were pretty bulky, so I'm pleased they've gone.

IN:

1 x book (half price!)

OUT:

2 x bags full of ‘rag’ items not suitable for charity shop (102 items total!)
12 x tops asstd to charity shop pile
3 x sets bedding (no longer used etc.)
2 x old bathroom mats
35 x asstd socks/pants/couple of ripped facecloths
2 x handful random things
4 x bags of clothes to charity collection (these actually finally made it out of the house!)
2 x rubber ducks!
1 x bag of old ‘interesting’ shaped bubble bath bottles

Old total: 200 items down
New total: 262 items down :D

I also found 2 pieces of jewellery important to me I thought I’d lost (plus some others I care less about and want to give away somehow).
