Hello
I think I visit twice a year, in spring and in fall. Not a follower of Beck but definitely live in a state of wanting to get rid of clutter and re-claiming space that has been engulfed
I had today free and uninterrupted to tackle my husband's side of the room. I know it is not fair that he doesn't keep it tidy but life isn't fair, right
and if I want it done, I do it.
It took me 4 1/2 hours, but I did it.
*Pulled out storage bins from under the bed; vacuumed under bed; vacuumed/wiped storage bins from under bed, consolidated stuff and fit them back neatly;
*took everything off the love chest that was piled on it;
*folded and hung his pants in the wardrobe; looked through wardrobe and pulled out t shirts that have not been worn in years;
*found collection of Penthouse mags and boxed them up (not a prude but come on, they were just THERE for years not being ogled or anything
)
*found dvds of Girls Gone Wild that I definitely didn't mind getting rid of
)
*found box of 2 dozen XXX VCR tapes that came from my dad's house (ugh) and I don't know why we kept them
*collected 2 large garbage bags, one was wearable clothing, other was destined for textile use
*box of books collectd
*box of just 'stuff' that can go to someone else.
*about 3 bags of garbage.
Took it all to the Resource Center and only paid $3 to get rid of it all. Good feelings on recycling (the skin mags got recycled along with the VCR tapes!) and clothing gets used, and the textiles get re-used.
onebyone - good luck on the kitchen table rescue! that deadline is coming up. I hope getting a table in there helps! also good luck on getting rid of the dreaded Storage Unit..HATED that we had one and paid $100 a month and when we got down to it, there really wasn't anything worth it! and good luck with the other items on your list.
love2garden - best wishes on your items too! do you need to 'cull' books? i find that so hard but had to.
spanky - yay for your accomplishment today!!
