LOL :D Dianne

It was some stuff he did not want but I think he wanted me to keep it for ever, even though it was nothing that I wanted or could use.
He also doesn't like it when I get rid of my things, wants me to keep everything just like he does. :)

Haha Tillie!

My bra heard about what happened to your and said she would get right back into shape.

So good that he let go of stuff that belonged to his mom. That's really hard to do.

Hey Dianne and Tillie. :D

OMG! I totally hate it when that happens! It always happens to me whenever my post is really big or whenever I post something really late at night/very early in the morning; like around 3:00am.

It's actually around that time right now. Right now it's 2:30am where I live; so hopefully this post will show up. Lol. ;)

Since I also hate when my posts dissapear I have developed the habit of copying (Ctrl c) the text before hitting the post reply button.
This way all I need to do is paste (Ctrl v) and it's all there, ready to try again.

What bugs me, MayMay, is when I try to post and it just disappears.

Then I think, oh well, I can rewrite at the next break.

Recycled 5 mugs through mens sheds.

But gained 3 loads of guilt!!! (I told a close friend there was an EWS - Early Warning Signs. They assumed I was telling them they were ill). I finally figured out that it was my EWS for getting hurt 3 times before.

= 2 ahead for me.

Yay Tillie & Sally! Good Work "kicking us off" for the July Challenge "Kick OUT" the Clutter ;)

As Diane said so well -- I, too, am happy we have this monthly challenge to keep us motivated & moving forward! (I still need to catch up with everybody on the boards, but for now just going to post my 2-days-worth of items out so far.)

I also noticed that by listing regularly, I'm gaining more awareness re: the specific items/categories of items I have tended to hoard -- This will DEFINITELY help me to refrain from acquiring them from here forward =)

Hi Roxie, Dianne, Diane -- Thinking of you!

Hope everyone on these boards is having a good Tuesday :)

Thank you Tillie, I really need the challenge to keep writing down what I do, then can look back when think I am not doing enough, and see I got rid of so much. You are a blessing Tillie.

Due to popular demand
we are going to have another challenge.
Same idea, listing whatever leaves our homes through donating, gifting or tossing.
I believe that together we will be able to beat our June Challenge Grand total! :D

I would also like to suggest listing some emptional baggage we should toss.
1 grudge
1 regret
Etc......

A good way to toss emotions is to one by one write them down on paper. Meditate on one, then have a ceremony somewhat like a funeral.
Then bury, cremate or have a buriel at sea (flush).

This Challenge begins July 1st. :D
