Identify and Rid Myself of 43 Items of Überclutter

Lets be honest here. I have enough nice well fitting moisture wicking athletic tops. I don’t also need a collection of ugly oversized free-be t-shirts that I’m saving for the gym. I never wear them. 3 never-worn shirts into the goodwill bag, with another 3 with minor sentimental attachement probably going shortly.

Im doing fine with this goal,
just not so great at updating : )
So,
No 33 : Garden seed trays, plastic pots and sundries -all extra to requirement from my shed sort out & given to a neighbour.
32. 1x box of outside playtoys outgrown by my son
given to charity. (This was a close call !!
How come little tipper truck’s suddenly take on
a magical glow once they are being given away ?)
No 30.1xsmall box of kitchen crockery
& glasses, all shamefully chipped (blush).

Im currently having a big ‘toy’ sort out with my son, so the next update may take a while! LoL

R and his friend just came and took my old couch. Finally, some progress on this goal!

I don’t have any way of even knowing what’s on it.
I do know that it managed to survived multiple declutterings before I got rid of my stereo, I seem to remember that it had something nestalgic on it. mixed tape from high school perhaps? I don’t know. And its not worth my energy to find out.

Threw out a whole lot of stuff when I was packing… prob more than 43 items:-)
My new gaff is not too full of junk yet:-)
Well it’s full of stuff lying around, but it’s actually useful stuff, so I just need to get more storage…

I’m noticing, now that I have socks that fit well, that I have several pairs that don’t. I’m weeding them out a pair at a time.

20. Digital Clutter!

I’m started over with a newly wiped hard drive today. I didn’t do this by choice, but it had the added benefit of ridding me of a huge digital mess. I’m resolving to keep it nice and organized this time. Also, I am counting this towards my 43 items because it was a HUGE source of distress for me in the past.

its been 2 months since I last wrote on this goal !
Shame, shame on me.
I have however been a ruthless clutter monster during this absence & rid myself ( and family) of quite a few items.
I need my thinking cap on to remember everything, but I’ll name the ones I can : )
OK : Clothes X 2 sacks of jumpers, coats & woolens that were just passed their best & were to be honest ugly !
Extra bed linen X 1 sack, all ok, but unless Im having my son’s entire school for a sleep-over ? I just dont need.
Duvet & pillows X 1 , same reason !
Box X 1 of softplay toys from my sons babyhood.

• these all went to the charity shops *
  Fabric stash X 1 bag. Ugly yards of fabric from Mum I know will not get used by me.
  Box X 1 of ‘handy’ plastic containers , some with lids.
  Large bag X 2 of old chocolate /biscuit tins for storage ?
  Small box X 1 of arts materials, crayons, posterpaints, large sugar paper etc .
• All this went to the local gallery were I often work to be used for school workshops.*

Yay ! all gone.
Ive more to list from the kitchen , as we’re in the middle of having a new one fitted. But Ill list them next time : )

So…thats 10 lots done 33 lots to go !

18. Really Old Makeup

It’s bad to keep things like this around to even TEMPT myself to use them someday. Handfuls are now in the garbage, kept company by:

19. Really Old Haircare Products

Gross!

I’m on a maniacal spree of discardia! Nothing is safe!

Seriously though, I am getting really sick of clutter these days. A lot of things got the axe today:

12. Clothes, Again

Stuff that doesn’t fit went in bags to go to Goodwill tomorrow, along with stuff I will never, EVER wear again. (Pleather pants? Why oh why!?) General crap went into the garbage.

13. Punk Rock T-Shirts

I still own almost every shirt I ever owned in my teenage years, and I don’t know why considering that was a decade ago (yes, I am old). These went into a bag which will be given to my punk rock friend Jimmy. I’m sure he will put them to use of some sort, or he knows someone who will.

14. General Car Clutter

A bag of random things that ended up in my car somehow made its way into my dresser after my move. Now it’s in the garbage can. I didn’t even bother to look through it.

15. Extra Photo Printer

My mom took it. I barely use the one I have

16. Office Supplies

Paper things went to the recycle bin. A lot went into the garbage. I don’t have use for this stuff anymore considering that I don’t even have a desk at this time.

17. Magazines

Recycled all of them! Most were cooking magazines that I’d saved to learn from, which I did. Now it’s time to let them go. The internet serves that purpose much better anyways.
