not keeping count, but adding one box of trash from the basement & one bag of trash from the garage

sothisislove · 05-22-2009, 10:55 AM

20 toys (rough guess)
-several McD toys
-shape sorter blocks..why we have so many
-cheapo stuffed animal
-broken flashlight
-more junk

bag of clothes ....hmmm 20, maybe.

I need to keep count!

Sothisislove...140.

1867 to go.

AppleSauceCookies · 05-25-2009, 10:34 PM

Alright, I am sooo in... but I am going to get confused with all this math. Haha

-6 large trash bags full of clothing (not going to count item) to goodwill
-2 large trash bags full of stuffed aminals (they say it that way) that no one plays with
-1 fireplace full of papers that needed to be burned/shredded
-1 large bag full of milk bottles... somehow the kids thought we could get money for these...

-30 broken, bent, scratched cds
-15 vhs tapes to goodwill
-1 old high school picture that I will never get around to paying to have it restored
-Broke down the bunk bed and returned it to it's rightful owners

Now when we move next year, we won't be bringing all the junk with us, yay!!

I know I have more... just gotta get down and dirty. 57 counted....

I got 2 years worth of filing done. The file cabinet is labeled and setup how I can use it since hubby turned it over to me to do.

Just need to find a shredder on freecycle.

keep it up girls! I never thought about posting paper purges. Good idea!!!!!!

06-26-2009, 08:32 AM

Wow! This is awesome! I'm new so, I have a bit of catch up to play but, I'm so salivating at the prospect. We need this around our house.

So, I'm just starting but, here's my first numbers:

19 magazines in the recycling bin.
1 toy in the trash.

5 toys
4 books
1 glass bottle
1 hacksaw
1 drawstring bag ....which all went to Goodwill.

And that brings my first total up to: 31 items de-cluttered. 1,978 to go!
