March 2022 Declutter Club
- Thread starter Lana
- Start date
Working my way thru bins upon bins of boating-related items. Lots of acrylic glassware, carafes, and more, as well as extra beach towels and bedding. All of one design (bedding that matches the curtain dividers for sleeping and living areas) have been set aside and will be laundered and re-folded; extra sheets (plain or of different designs) have gone into a bag for donation. Worn beach towels are being set aside for donation to the vet's rescue group. Of the stuff I'm not keeping, I'll offer to my boating community, sell at our marina's spring garage sale, and/or donate. I've also got 2 extra anchors, extra power cords, several RV/marine grade potable water hoses, non-matching fenders, dock lines, cleaning supplies ... I could go on and on. It's something that's been needed for years. Now's the time, and I want to have it done before the season begins.
Couple of bathroom rugs went home with DD‘s LC today. She said during our below zero weather when she goats having kids she used her bathroom rugs for some of the oat huts. So she was happy to see rugs in our donation pile.
Husband pitched a bunch of old underwear. I didn’t even have to ask!
Two large unusable plastic containers and this morning a pair of socks. I seem to be losing socks as quickly as I am losing underwear!
Worked in Teigans room some. Threw some papers away--hope she won't miss and starting a pile of clothes that are to small. Hope to finish her room this week. Might put some of the better stuff up to sell and then donate rest--will see. She said I could get rid of a chair in there. Still has the mushroom one.
1 hair dryer (but do need to replace it at some point)... sparks were flying!
1 sweater
1 glass container (dropped it and it broke)

Hand mixer to the trash. But, it will be replaced. (like Lucies's dryer) I really liked it and it lasted several years.
Found another spot to decrapify papers from. And then found several different items to go to safety deposit box. Car titles, deeds to land, marriage license and the likes. Not sure why they were here from the box........
I have de-crapified DH's top of dresser, first dresser drawer of "junk", and two nightstand drawers. Wow ... dusty and crappy. LOL So, I did the first part ... took it all out, dusted, and put back what I know I know should stay. Now, when DH gets home ... he has to go through the LARGE pile to either donate or toss!
Cleaned off my nightstand last night. Went through and tossed junk mail from snack bar. Threw away a box of Sociables crackers. When I opened the box, there was a small nick in the inside plastic bag. I don't even remember where I bought them from.
Loungeroom sorted yesterday. 1 old quilt top tossed (it was beyond repair). Several DVDs and books out of there.
After I drop of DS at work, I dropping off donations at Humane Society! DH did good going through his ‘junk’.
Cleaned out my car good and got all the old receipts from the console. Shredded them.
Some papers and clutter of DH's when I tried to bring order to the guest room where DH has been living.
Unboxed some things I took out of my flea market booth and reboxed them to take them to Goodwill Saturday when I go to Monroe to see DD and DSIL. Someone will get some joy from them, I'm sure.
Two used bath mats that were replaced and parts of a broken picture frame.
Tomorrow (the 20th) we will go to Centralia so will take stuff to Goodwill and few things to my sister.
Have some jeans, bag of plastic sacks (she can use for produce they sell in summer. Last year she needed some so will help her stock for this year) and tennis shoes to take to my sister.
Goodwill I have a small pink velvet chair, some kids books, kids puzzles and some clothes of Teigan's.
I have a couple puzzles and few books to give the preschool here in town.
When Jaymee came for supper and left she took 2 Wal-Mart sacks filled with soxs, 1 garbage sack filled with shorts and t-shirts of hers, 2 Wal-Mart bags filled with miscellaneous stuff of hers, a bag of clothes for Teigan and then 2 sacks of books for Teigan.
Teigan took a couple books home for Emme. A 2 yr old that is Jaymee's best friends daughter.
Have a large sack of more plastic bags for Ryan to take to his friend that works for a cosignment shop that always needs some.
Still plenty more here to sort.

I was happy to bring back a box of stuff to work when we worked in person yesterday... however, had to empty all our desks. we now have shared desks and cannot keep a pen or kleenex there. they gave us a very small locker... so had to bring back 3 boxes of stuff here... sigh... for now I am putting the stuff away (Christmas decor, shoes, papers,... )... they might be going when I start decluttering again
