Give away 100 things I don't need

I decided that I have too much stuff. Yep. too much stuff. Most of the stuff is totally and completely useless. I think it is time to de-clutter my room.

1. Box of outgrown clothes – charity bin.

I went on Freecycle last week and here’s what I racked up:

36 & 37. two air filters that didn’t fit my ac vent
38. big pink table lamp
39. Josh’s nap roll from preschool (he’s almost 13; I don’t think he’ll be needing it)

I think this brings me up to 35….

It’s been so long since I’ve been on 43things, I can’t remember. But it feels like a good time to dust off some of these old goals and just get rid of some of the others. Anyway, the other day I went back to my old friend Freecycle and started using it to unload some of my old junk. I gave away a pink table lamp that I no longer need, Josh’s old nap roll from preschool, and tomorrow I have someone coming to haul away two air filters that we never used because they were the wrong size. It does the spirit good to get rid of stuff and the added bonus is that instead of chucking it in a landfill, I’m doing someone else a good turn. Plus I don’t have to sit outside and try to stuff down my irritation while someone haggles with me at a garage sale over items I am practically giving away anyway.

6. blue lamp from son’s room (no shade)
7. black suede boots
8. BookCrossing books (about 10)
9. another box toddler boy clothes (to nephew)
10. purple heels

1. mini bandbox kit
2. rocking horse craft pattern
3. rub-on paints/decals
4. 2 bags clothing
5. 1 box boys’ infant clothes

I’m hoping to achieve this goal by mid-August (when my daughter is born); failing that, I’ll shoot for end of 2008.

Worth IT!

Spent a good amount of time sorting through things and had a ton to give away.

Not sure what the final number is but I’d say about 135 items have gone on to other peoples lives.
And a bunch more that was just trash. I have to say this was a great goal for me.

89 – Old ottaman
90 – sweater
91-94 misc shirts
