I took 2 coats, 3 jackets, 3 hats, several pairs of gloves to Jaymees and an umbrella that were all here from over time and a few shopping trips.
Also more paper out today.

November 2020 Declutter Club
- Thread starter Lana
- Start date
DD got rid of 2 more boxes of School papers during the weekend - all went in recycling bin.
1 box of school paper of ds' (the kindergarten one) is now in recycling... kept just a few things.
Not really decluttering, as in getting rid of, but I got the handheld vacuum and the broom holder/rack mounted on the wall of the utility room getting those things off the floor and where they should be.
2 more boxes of school papers of ds' are in recycling.
Doing kitchen cabinets today... hoping dh doesn't discover my stash before I get it to the thrift store. Up to now getting rid of:
- 2 teapots (1 was decorative, 1 mom gave me but it is really not convenient difficult to wash)
- 6 cups (1 handle broke so threw that one in the garbage)
- 4 salad bowls (never use these)
- 1 butter dish (always been too small to put the butter in)
- 1 decorative candle in a teacup I had made (no longer like it)
- 2 plastic glasses
- 1 glass souvenir from toronto... never used it just keeps gathering dust and never liked it.
Still working in those cabinets, thinking of getting rid of more before I put it all back in there.

Lucie, you are doing incredibly well on the decluttering. I have bags here that need to go but the charity shops are not taking donations at the moment and most of the charity bins are closed. I am not sure what to do with the items.
I'm glad our charity shops did not close down this time around with our 2nd wave of covid and confinement.
I am not sure what to do with the donations. Items are too good to throw out but am tired of them taking up so much room in my home.
Two old rugs just went out in recycling as well as two clear floor savers.
I'm also filling up my second bag of clothes and miscellaneous stuff for the Vietnam Vets to pick up.

Katrina, what if you call some homeless homes? or for furniture put a 'to give' sign on it and deposit it outside?
Finally! dh brought the old melamine bookcase and the old 20 inch tv to ecocenter this morning! 2 big things out of the house
DH put all the big foam tv packing in the recycling and garbage bins yesterday. Basement is somewhat almost normal now.
Waiting for dniece to come and see if she wants some of the kitchen things in the donation bag... at the end of the week they are leaving the house, tired of all this in my office room.
Cleared out the last of the school paper boxes of ds' that was in the attic.

We set stuff out by our curb by the road ... folks come along and take it! We had an old metal shed finally saw it's last days and so DH and DS17 broke it apart and hauled it to the curb. DH thought he's bring the work truck home to haul it to the work dumpster. Well ... last night someone stopped and took it all!
I helped weed out some of Dh old paper work. Old bank paper from the 1980s,
I have been going through my closet and pulling out clothes that I have not worn in a long time. Will add that to the pile that is being donated next week. We have a scheduled donation pick up for next week and I keep adding to it LOL. So far we are up to 4 boxes and 6 trash bags of clothes, toys and house hold items that are being picked up We cleaned out the shed, attic and garage a couple weeks ago. I gave a friend a trash bag of clothes that my son out grew for her grandsons.
I've decorated and have thrown out 3 sets of mini-lights (all burnt out), 3 old ornaments, 1 topiary (it was getting pretty old and yucky).
