Today, I got rid of...yay!

SelfMadeMan · 10-24-2011, 09:39 PM

Today I got rid of a HUGE heavy box 'o crap that was cluttering up our house and it felt SO GOOD! We're moving into an RV in 3.5 short years and we're purging a little as we go so that when that time rolls around we don't have excess junk to rid ourselves of. We're donating our book collection, and have already gotten rid of most music CDs - we both have iPhones so all our music went on those, and by the time we roll out of MN, we'll make sure to both have iPads to store books on. And no more knick knacks for us either!

...now if i could just force myself to purge my 40+ pairs of cargo shorts and dresser full 'o t-shirts

sheets and blankets that the kittehs' had a litteral pissing contest over.

I tried the vinegar to no avail.

I enjoyed buying new sheets etc. It was time and I deserved them

Tomorrow I'm going to clean out my closet and get things in a box for the next Femme swap.

Yes I am a planner - I already have Christmas planned and half paid for lol

After months of being so busy at work I could hardly breathe, I finally got a chance to clean up my file cabinet and get rid of almost a foot tall stack of old papers that I dumped into the "to be shredded" bin. I can now find what I'm actually looking for at work without digging through piles of garbage.

Out of date stuff: binned.

1. Last years brandy sauce. To make way for this years brandy sauce which will be thrown out next year.

2. Jar of dried stuff in a coffee jar that I forgot to label and couldn't work out what it was.

3. 2 jars of paste. I have no recollection of buying that stuff. WHY was it in there???

4. Bottle of HP sauce.

In date yucky stuff: donated.

1. A chicken and vegetable tin pie (with gravy). *gag* I'm certain whoever ends up with that in their Christmas hamper will be as thrilled as I was.

2. Jar of picalily

3. Jar of Kenco coffee

4. 2 bars of dark chocolate

5. tin of dried milk bought for emergencies. I'd milk a flea first. So why buy it?

In date multiples I'll never use before expiry: donated.

1. 2 boxes of tea bags

2. 1 bottle of tomato ketchup

3. box of shortbread

4. jar of pasta sauce

5. 2bags of pasta. I still have enough pasta in the house to feed a small country.

6. jar of sweet pickle

It may seem flippant to post about a cupboard clearout, but decluttering my environment is my way of cleansing the spirit and soul.

And, it lightens my heart.
