declutter my house

I haven’t posted on this goal in over a year. I don’t think there’s any point in trying to catch up. Suffice to say, the house is still a mess.

I did a good run on one surface last week. I didn’t clear it entirely, but it’s much better. And a good chunk of what was there went into the bin or recycling. I’ve bought some boxes to go on top of it, partly because I want to get rid of a chest of drawers and the clothes can go in those boxes, and partly because I know I’d just pile stuff on that surface again if I left it clear.

I’ve been cutting down some of the papers on my desk too, and finally sent off some bookcrossing books that had been waiting there for a long time.

Well, I didn’t offer the stuff on livejournal or freecycle, but there was an Anarchist’s Bookfair with a “freeshop” so I left a good lot of stuff there. It perhaps wasn’t the most suitable place to leave blatently consumerist magazines, for example, but hopefully everything went to a good home.
I have space in the give-away cupboard to gather more stuff now.

Oh! I forgot I left some bookcrossing books there – must re-update that bookcrossing goal.

I don’t think I’ve done anything about this yet.

Well, one thing that needs doing, and involves the internet (yay!), is to offer a bunch of stuff on livejournal/freecycle.
