Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
So far I've gotten rid of:
1 bag of girls clothes two boxes household clutter 1 bag of boys clothes 1 bag of baby blankets 1 twin "bed in a bag" set 1 pile of boxes (about 4) that had been set aside for collections 1 baby bathtub 1 large Christmas decoration that I didn't like It's a good start and my goal will be one major item or box of stuff a week. I'm sure it would add up to 2009 if I took the time to count.

Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
I got a few things out of the house today by giving them to a fellow GCMer, some homeschool stuff that I am not going to use. So two days of decluttering.

Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
I give up on counting too, I just keep forgetting to do it and t hen I don't know how to count. (1 piece of paper or 1 stack of papers? hmmm... )
But today I pulled everything out of the pantry, cleaned the shelves, discarded extra packaging and expired foods, and am in the process of putting everything back in their in an orderly fashion. Productive! |

Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
gigi and i went through her play kitchen things - and though she doesn't really play with the pots/pans and dishes much of course she didn't want to get rid of stuff completely so we kept some but got rid of a plastic grocery bag full of stuff from there and now the bin isn't overflowing quite so badly - before putting the food back in there was impossible
and i've continued to toss fast food type toys when i come across them and several more stuffed animals have been moved to the donate box!

I won't count this, but I helped my MIL declutter some of her craft stuff yesterday It was fun to have someone to share it with. Maybe we should have local declutter buddies

Re: DECLUTTER CHALLENGE: 2009 items in 2009!
I have been avoiding this thread, 'cause I just haven't been able to find the time, but I am starting a new full-time job this week, and have to get rid of some this clutter to make cleaning easier. I am really planning to bare-bones it. Only necessary things are staying. I have a huge box of things already gathered up, but I am not going to count it until it is actually sent to the donation center. But since I work from my home computer last night I tayed up cleaning up some of my files.
