On one of my Australian frugal forums the call went out ...............
Declutter challenge, could you find 50 items in your cupboards or house that you no longer need or want that could be passed on to another or a charity.
So I was thinking that I would go through my cupboards and see what I have, I figure that anything that goes I will re organise my linen cupboard to start with and move around the house ......... would I find more than 50?
Recycling week is coming up on the 9th Nov so this will get me going ... and I will have hopefully more open decluttered space to move and actually find things I want at a glance.
Oh wow who wouldn't have 50 things that they don't need or use anymore. DH alone has that much unfortunately we all are pack rats though I've been making an effort to sell the excess for a neater home and a little pocket change as well.
.... but I won't (I don't think) be touching anything from my sewing/craft room .... but on the other hand you never know what I've outgrown and forgot about!
I seem to have a few things that I bought and put away for the boys (little things that were on special at the time) but now they are to old so will have to see if I can filter them down.
Good for you I'm going to start when everyone has gone to work or school today, now I have to beat 13 LOL
Edited to say at a quick glance I've pulled out of my cupboard
