CBC & QV
« on: September 26, 2011, 05:11:10 PM »
Anyone can play, but it is meant to motivate Lady Weeble and myself.

What have you tossed, pitched, donated, given away, disposed of, de-hoarded, etc.

Today, I liberated myself from some old medical bills from 2007, lots of expired coupons and junky bits of paper.

I can't face all that de-hoarding again.  Last time,  i lost urchin's
birth certificate..doh.  I might need it one day to prove he was
born and not hatched, or invented in a mad scientist's lab somewhere.

So, no, can't be very encouraging.  In fact i am going the other way
at the moment and am 'collecting'

 I love this thread!  I am going to get rid of a lot of old clothes that are too shabby to donate, and any other random junk I can find, I'm sick of having all this stuff in my way!  Tomorrow is trash day so here I go!  :viking:

i am the exact opposite of a hoarder. in fact, I am constantly throwing away perfectly useful things. I am the least materialistic person in the world. Although, I do know that materialism isn't why people hoard. I just cannot stand clutter. I can't even stand 'decoration' . Everything gets thrown in the trash.

I would butt heads with my ex husband all the time, as he was a HORRIBLE hoarder. It was actually one of the main things we fought about. He thought the solution was to buy more storage containers. That is NOT the solution, lol .

I read a really good peice of advice in the , *cough* readers digest * ( I was on the shitter needed something to look at.)  And it said this :

If you are unsure as to if you should throw something away, set it aside in a special box. If you didnt use it in a year - throw it away !

Same. Was raised in a minimalist environment so it's more about comfort. Had to laugh at the comment on decoration. Sometimes people give decoration 'things' as gifts. They're often nice at first, then will one day look at it and think, really hate that 'thing' and toss it. :laugh:

Another 1/3 of a trash bag accomplished, almost entirely of old bank statements, insurance information, news articles, etc.

Nope.  Believe me no one is interested in this stuff.  I put garbage on top of it and put grease and the like on it to boot.  There's never been any problem with stealing stuff in our neighborhood.  It gets put out in the morning when Prince Albert leaves for McDonald's, about 5:30.  It's also put in the garbage can.

This Lady in waiting is with Her Majesty and Lady Weeble.

Yesterday I filled two bags with stuff for the local annual charity market.

In the process found the tiny jacket of my youngest when she was a baby. So, found a nice thing to give a better place than amidst the rubble too.  :laugh:

Motivated to get further.

Most of the living-room has been done past year, rooms of the girls too. Now it's my bedroom, where I placed boxes with stuff from the other spaces in the house, and the attic :GA: :GA: :GA:

Donated, to the jumble sale of the local church, 3,5 meters of books (90 litre) and two bags of children's clothes.

The church is trying to fund double glazing with the earnings of the jumble sale.

managed to go through a medium sized bag of papers and also some clothes.  Am deciding whether to cut the clothes up for rags or neatly unseam them.  Hell with it, cut it is.

 GO GO GO!  Cut 'em up and don't feel bad!   :headbang:



 As for me, I managed to fill three small trash bags and almost four paper bags with shredded
 and/or recycled papers and trash, before apparently breaking my shredder ...  :duh:

I cut up a pair of thong underpants.  Along all the seams.  It was a very nice pair, so I have some lovely enclose in satiny-type material elastic and some chiffon type material.  The waistband is long enough to make a V-necklace which I can attach a decorative pin to and the leg elastic will be on my mind until I find a use for it.  The chiffon I may make into a flower.  All this is in the future.  Clean and clear first.

Two boxes of tightly packed waste-paper are in my bicycle bags already, ready to be taken to school first thing tomorrow morning. Monthly waste paper collection.

Got another bag of books that can go. Will go to the second hand shop, can't bring it to the jumble sale anymore.

And onwards I have to go.

Have my ex helping me tomorrow morning to move the bookshelf and the books I will keep to the living room. By then I want all the books sorted.
