I'm back for more inspiration - however, there is no way that I am counting because it interferes with my decluttering. Please note that I am in the many hundreds and shall continue on today!!

Thanks for posting nuisance. I forgot too! Today DH took 2 big black garbage bags of stuff to the garbage from the utility room, and I have a moving box and about 20 other things listed online for sale. I'm calling it 320 things. So...

665 + 320 = 985! I can't believe I'm going to make it! I have to go downstairs to purge a huge 2 drawer filing cabinet of about half it's contents. It will easily be a box full of paper. I'm sure that will count for 15. So I'm calling myself done this challenge! Thanks to DH wanting to de-clutter the utility room while he's off work this week.

There! I'm back. Flung an entire banker's box worth of paper tonight. I'm saying I've reached my 1000 items for this fall no problem. Looking forward to this challenge again next fall.

I was just about to post that I hadn't made it to 250 things and I started to review my last two weeks

2 days ago I flung a box of children's books some to free book store and most to consignment bin for week after next!

I also put a few of the children's toys int the bin cause they just received so many presents. I'm going to take one more crack at that.

Last week when the charity truck came I just started throwing more things not the bag like crazy wanting to declutter.

As I was straightening the basement (it's under reno) I started throwing away random junk that just sits around the other half got this treatment after the flood but this area was untouched so we never culled it.

I also recycled a 4" stack of the children's school/art work

I don't have an official count but I was only 75 things down so I will call this a success
