How to go through my things, get rid of or donate anything I am not using
It made me
ready to move on
 "I'm moving!"
How I did it: We are moving cross country, so we have all gotten rid of "stuff". I just asked myself "is this worth moving cross country AGAIN?" My youngest daughter gave a good bit of her toys to goodwill, and she will have a cleaner room in our new home. I'm very proud of her-it's not easy to give up toys when your 9. I finally gave up several pair of old jeans that haven't fit in years. And I had alot of clothes that I just never wore, so I let them go too. I have moved them from state to state for no reason! WHY? I am hopeful that this "clear out mode" will wear off onto hubby....but no luck with that yet.
Lessons & tips: Set up a box for things to go to goodwill or some other donation place. Set up a box for "hmmm, let me think about it" stuff. You can sort through it every week to see if you decide to get rid of anything. Make up a TRASH box of stuff no one else could ever use. And finally, use up little dabs of bath products and lotions and make up. I find that I collect the almost empty bottles. Set a deadline of when you have to throw it out, and try to use it all up before then. My youngest and I have been using up bottles of hotel lotions in our bathes, and almost empty bath oils, hotel shampoo, etc. for a month now.
Resources: I dumped all my bath products into one plastic basket, put it beside the tub to remind me to use it! I put a small trash can right beside the tub also, to toss out the empty bottles. I went through my closet very quickly, and tried not to think too much about what I was doing. I just said "toss, keep, toss, keep". If it was something I haven't used in a year, I didn't even consider keeping it. And for my "hmmm, maybe" pile, I went through it and thought "how do I feel when I wear this?" That made cleaning out alot easier!!

bluebelle25 is figuring out which goal to work on first
How I did it: I got a couple of friends together and we spent a gruelling couple of days going through EVERYTHING one room at a time. First it was a little overwhelming... how could I have accumulated SO MUCH JUNK??? And there were a lot of useful itmes too, that had been forgotten all about. My friends helped me keep a clear perspective as I made 2 piles (really what did I need and what could I part with, most was the latter). … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Finally looked at it and went "enough." Started going through and chucking it to the donation boxes. Its a good stress reliever as well when you want to throw away bad memories as well. Read how I did it…

...with 2 big dustbin bags full of clothes. I have another bag with clothes to offer to my Mum, sis and daughter….if not wanted, they’ll go to the charity shop, too – clothes, that is, not the relatives

I’m donating or giving away a whole pile of clothes – this could become addictive ;-)

Sold ALL my old Barbie stuff… house, accessories, camper… yay! The dining room looks totally empty now!
I am moving in with my boyfriend so I have a reason to get rid of things. I have been to Goodwill at least 2 times and will probably make a 3rd trip soon.
I have also donated/made a sacrifice to the Gods of the City by posting FREE on a box of stuff we left in front of the house. It was gone by the time we got back from a hockey game. (There was some good stuff in there like a toaster and hand mixer.)
New strategy is to finish moving in with my boyfriend and then empty one or two boxes a week and really get organized.

Today I finally photographed and listed my major stuff to sell on Kijiji and Craigslist. It took FOREVER (especially assembling that darn Barbie dream house!) but it’s all there now! Hopefully somebody will want to buy it all! :)

finally got around to going to VV… took in all the things that I don’t wear/don’t fit. Closet is pretty empty looking…got two new shirts, a pair of shoes, and a hoodie when I was there. Gotta love spending 20 bucks and having a whole new outfit.

I have lots of clothes that just sit in my closet and never move, so Im gonna get them outta there, take them down to the value village and get me some new items.
Just planning on grabbing some things that I need, like long sleeved shirts, leg warmers. Not gonna allow myself to ge any tee shirts, ha ha ha that will have to be my mantra when Im there.
Might not get this done today however, all depends on my buddy who is looking at places to move to today.
