Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
For me it meant tackling the beloved baby clothes and slings and then the books and toys.I usually really hang on to stuff I have an emoitinal attachment to- so even though the baby clothes were outgrown and no longer needed[we are done- I think] I struggled to give them away.I also hold onto stuff just in case,so old stained kids clothes got held onto just incase - I dunno the kids got a vomiting virus or something- can I just say we have had some really tough times when we first started parenting....
Anyhow books were the next big hit I buy books from yerd sales and when the library has a withdrawn stock sale,I will willing spend a few pence on any kids book they show a passing intrest but my goal has been to get the kids books all on their bookcase so its been about whittling down so that they can actually find the book they want on their bookcase Next will be my bookcase [again] and being ruthless.I love getting books for myself and therefore some need to go- we dont have room for a library So today we took 36 books to oxfam 60 to go !!!!!
