Happy New Year! Happy new Daily Tally! I decided that since I said I was sure I could find 500 things to get rid of in my home this year, I would make my goal 600 in 2024, to stretch myself a bit. Today I donated: 6 items of clothing, threw out an old bowl, and sold a stroller that was in the garage. 2024: 8/600 2023: 1002+ items gone | |

scissors from hell, because it was so hard to donate them from my bedroom even though they are cheap junk and I have a billion scissors. Into the donate bin. 278/600 | |

My very large dining room table just left, given away. My son is bringing his in to use, but it will not move with me when I move. So I am one item lighter! 285/600 | |

I started a new donation bag from my bedroom. One wooden light switch plate (new), one package of clothing labels, one massager. I am also giving away a ring online. I found it in my car a year ago but none of my friends or kids' friends claimed it. 320/600 | |

Lila, you have been doing great! I stalled. Net 111/366 Day 102 I am going to start falling behind again if I don't get back to this. | |

Little by little! I went through the Easter decorations and I called my mom. Three Easter decorations and two jello molds out. I did buy a silicone rabbit muffin pan at the grocery store to try out, so net 4. 96/366 Day 90. | |

I went to a rummage sale yesterday and bought three really nice curtains $1 each. They will need to be hemmed to hang where I plan to use them. There were more of the same type in other colors and I am actually wishing I had bought them all now, because I love the fabric, but I exercised restraint. Net 108/366 | |
| Lila | Posted: 30 March 2024 - 02:52 PM |
Good job SubC! I am almost halfway to my goal for the year. I just need 10 more items to go. So... 2 small toys, into the trash, not worth donating 292/600 | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 24 April 2024 - 04:18 AM |
Dd and sil went to the sale on bag day and sil got "the rest of the curtains" for me. Except two are the wrong ones and the two I am still most sorry I didn't buy were gone. I'm still regretting those. Dh picked up curtain rods for me. Plus 8 items. But 4 of the curtains are hung. Sent six books home with ds, so a net plus 2. 106/366 I'll try to work on stuff again next week after my pottery sale. | |
| Lila | Posted: 30 March 2024 - 06:29 PM |
Little by little it will happen. It really adds up. Over 1000 items last year, out of my house! Adding: 2 old kitchen towels, still good but very faded and I don't need them. Donated. 294/600 | |

I did not buy anything at the pottery sale. But my friend gave me a necklace she made for me - a copy of one she sold at the winter holiday sale. 105/366 Day 119 | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 31 March 2024 - 09:35 AM |
Plastic flowerpot. Also sifted through a box of costume jewelry while Dh was packing to go - my dresser is much messier now, but I found 5 pieces to pass on. 112/366 Day 91 | |

13 empty glaze jars. 118/366 Day 119. | |

I like how you put what day of the year it is, SubC. It is good to think about that, for me. 3 hand towels that are thinning/stained, and one metal cake decorating tip, donated. They recycle old fabrics. 298/600 | |
| Lila | Posted: 03 May 2024 - 03:04 PM |

Two boxes of drug tests and a dog squeaker I was saving, gone. 303/600 | |

WTG SubC. Yesterday I got rid of an entire moving van's worth of junk, thousands of pounds I am guessing. Let me take a stab at what left, although it was his and I won't count it. 2 mattresses I am sure I am missing things. But that totals about 4,350 items left my home yesterday! Not counting in my Daily Tally since it all belonged to ex, but wow. What a weight off! | |
