Hey Tillie,
Sure I'd love to be the "Grand Totaller" for you guys. :)

WOW! :D
Those are some GREAT totals! :D

Karl,
you can count a box of papers as one item or you can make a guess as to how many items.

Love reading what you are all letting go of.
Such wonderful progress with your decluttering! :D
Plus I am nosy & like "peeking". ;)

MayMay,
Do you want the job of being the Grand Totaller for us? ;D

June Challenge:

Pairs of glasses and cases to the Lions Club box: 12

One really good jar! But out to recycling: 1

Bags to veterans group: 8

Total so far: 21

Heh! I just read this one and was wondering how to count the box full of recyclable paper that my friends took when they left -- and now I see that we're allowed to count the individual pieces of junk mail? That would be considerably more than counting the box as "one item"!

Probably the "fair" way to count would be by total weight, but I suppose I'm taking the fun out of it. :-)

WOW! WTG Billie and diane! :)

You guys got rid of a lot of stuff! :)

I went ahead and did the math for the both of you. :)

Billie, your total is 103 :)

diane, your total is 105 :)

GREAT JOB to the both of you. :)

fun to see what you are getting rid of might motivate me to get rid of something I hadn't thought of.

YEA!!!! US :D

Come on and join us everybody!
You need not post every day but even taking out the trash counts.

I would love to join you guys, but I am too depression to continue with my de-hoarding process. I wish all of you the best. I will join in when I I am better.

WOW! WTG diane! :D

I would definitely say that your total is around 500 too. :D

I love this new challenge too. It kind of makes me wish that I had more stuff to give away. :)

Diane
I would guesstimate you did at least as much as MayMay
so please make your tally 500 too. :D

WOOHOO! what a great start and it's only the first day! :D

Love this new challenge, right when I am not enjoying working at organizing. Today I took 4 garbage bags full of clothes, artsy stuff, hats, exercise weights, bag of books, all kinds of stuff, to the high school, sports teams were having a fundraiser sale, sure wish I would have counted it first. I will be counting from now on, makes it a little more interesting.

Today I took all of the stuff that I wanted to get rid of from the fire station to goodwill. :)

That stuff was: 95 pairs of shoes, over 100 bags and purses, and 2 trash bags full of clothes.

While I was in the process of putting the clothes, that I didn't want anymore, into the 2 trash bags I didn't bother to count them.

But if I had to guess the amount of clothes that I got rid of, I would say that I got rid of probably close to 300 items of clothing.

Which would make my total somewhere around 500. :)

Today I tossed
1 bag of kitchen trash
2 wide brim straw hats that had seen better days
1 empty kitty litter container
2 blouses into donation bag along with
1 petticoat
1 night gown
3 bits of lingerie

Total = 11

Anybody want to join in on a challenge for us to see how much we can all declutter together?

In this challenge we all post a daily tally of what has left our homes.
We can count by bags or boxes or
we can count by individual items.
Guestimates as to amounts in a bag or box count too.

Lets see if together we can reach over a thousand.

Example...
Yesterday I tossed 3 pieces of junk mail
Total 3
Today I tossed 1 bag of kitchen trash and found 2 items for the donation bag.
Total 3

Running total=6

At the end of the month we will total up everybodys totals and see how much we did together. :D

This contest starts June 1st.
