My decluttering rampage

**Missy** · 02-21-2005, 09:55 PM

i am done, done, done with this junk. I am having one baby...yet I have two swings, two strollers, two walkers, a diaper genie we have never ever used (couldn't figure it out), misc linens we never used since we moved in 6 years ago!!! , a blender that i replaced with a food processor. All this stuff has to go!

Posted all that stuff at Freecycle, lets see how fast it is gone. Someone has replied to the blender, and while typing this, they came and got it. so one item is gone.

[ x ] Blender 2-21
[ ] baby swing
[ ] stroller
[ ] walker
[ ] diaper genie
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] bags of misc linens

How long do you guess it'll take??

I am guessing a week to have it all gone...

I got rid of a sectional couch just last saturday...tht didn't go over well with dh, but i needed to clear out the living room (we are going to split it in half, half will be beby room, other half will be a storage room). We hardly use this room, we all tend to gather in the den instead.

Excellent! I love Freecycle! So much better to give the stuff to someone who'll use it and get the clutter out of your house! By the way...I give it 3 days to be gone.

I keep hoping a free cycle will start up in my area. The nearest is Shreveport 60 miles away.
