500 Things of Summer!

Ok, clutter cleaning cadets, what did you accomplish this week in your big purges? What are three things that you cleaned out that you are most relieved to get rid of?

AND, how did you do on our special assignment, which was trying to throw out at least 25 toiletry items?

 

This week's special assignment: Paperwork.   Go through those bills, magazines, newspapers, etc, and try to throw out enough paper to fill one shop rite paper bag. (I can't think of a way to put a number on this one)

    -I gathered my piles of stuff to give away this week and put it into plastic bins, which are now waiting to go to the garage.  So I didn't give away anything additionally, just organized the items that I am GOING to give away.  I have about 75 items in those bins.

    -Add to that the 50+ items of toiletries that I threw away this week, and I am in pretty good shape and on my way to 500! I first got rid of anything expired (a lot) then pared down my makeup into just one every day bag and one special occasion bag. I reorganized the closet the toiletries were in and it looks really good.

    I actually got our paperwork under control last week!  I got our toiletry things cleaned out too this week and our kitchen cabinets!  It's all trash and not really things, but our house is cleaner.  The house project was abandoned today for the school project though.  I think my classroom disaster should count as part of the 500 things because, wow, time consuming mess. :)

    Paperwork is next on my list too. I think I'll have a bag of it to be trashed for sure.

    We're moving into our new house next Friday, so there is a lot of purging going on in here!

    I told my husband, if we're not using it, it's going in the trash...end of story! I'm not a hoarder and hate having useless stuff around, so anything that is in our current attic, that is not being used, has to go.

    I didn't find anything to throw out in my medicine cabinet since I just did that in January!

    But I tossed: another dress of mine with a stain I can't get out that I kept forgetting was stained and wearing and I finally cleaned out B's bib/burp cloth drawer to put in storage. I tossed 10 bibs that were beyond saving and 5 burp clothes, plus 2 shirts of hers from this winter that were destroyed at daycare. I also tossed her Easter bunny ears that were broken.

    So grand total of 19 things thrown out this week!

    we're moving so I'm doing great on this challenge. I didn't do the toiletries yet but I have gotten rid of a lot of other stuff. Several pairs of shoes, 4 bins of clothes, stacks of books, etc. We're hoping we can get rid of even more in the next two weeks, which is when we move!
