Got rid of old artificial tree stand, paint pan, wire shelf and brackets, old heater. Still trying to dry out old cans of paint. We also emptied a rusting from the bottom metal cabinet. When DS get a chance to help take it out we will get rid of that too. It was here when we moved in 24 years ago.
Thru the kitchen counters and amazing of the crap that went out there . Plastic containers and jars I had been saving.
Didn't get to laundry room but there is tomorrow!

Seven more long sleeved shirts added to go to the consignment shop. Got A LOT of new dish towels at the house warming, so older ones will be going to the church. Just need to go through them.
Pitched a bunch of paper trash and shredded a few papers from mom and dads estate that I found. Have a small box of junk for the thrift shop. Dropped off a box of glass ware my cousin wanted.
The small desk in my dining room is now tidy. Threw out a lot of old pens and pencils, note papers and such.
Some paper plates, unwanted decor and some cheese spreaders have been added to the pile. I am still hanging on to "entertaining" items. If they are not used over this Summer then they can go. We rarely entertain large groups anymore.
About maybe close to a third done in laundry room. Have thrown out old cleaners and some I just don't use, tubes of flea medicine for cats (haven't had for about 7 yrs.-inside), have some of swifter pads laid out to ask Jaymee about.
Found several light bulbs all through out cabinets and the garden gloves--probably 7 to 9 new pairs. And several packages of the Affresh washer cleaning tablets. At the time this is the only room that I am doing cleaning behind doors.

I threw away a lot of that kind of stuff when we moved last year. I need to do a re-do and see what we have/haven't used since we moved into the house. So easy to just stash laundry room/cleaning stuff and never touch it again. Out of sight, out of mind...
The library gave me several magazines awhile back and last night I went thru all but about 10-12 gardening ones. So threw out over 35 magazines.
Two pie plates, two bowls and three beer glasses from a quick kitchen tidy Saturday.
1 hair-dryer diffusor (doesn't fit the hairdryer I have)
I have two bags of clothing and miscellaneous "stuff". One more bag and I'll summon the Vietnam Vets.
Suggested to DH that he part with T-shirts showing trucks he doesn't own. Before he could say they were "work shirts" I reminded him that he doesn't work anymore.

I have donated 2 pairs of lovely dress pants, 2 cardigans and 4 work blouses. I am now required to wear a uniform to work so will no longer need some of the things in my wardrobe.
A pair of pj's and 2 t-shirts.
Still debating about a pair of pants.
And a pair of ripped socks went into the trash

DH went through several things and has a small pile that he will offer to his friend - or his friend's son - whoever is the right size.
2 ugly dish towels

Dd took two grocery bags of winter clothes to the homeless shelter where she volunteers. I'm hoping to make another drop off to a donation center this week.
Bought a new bed comforter, so the old rattty one will be given to a lady that makes rag rugs with these
