Purge Challenge: Day 4

October 23rd, 2011 at 01:32 pm

I'm posting this early in the day because I actually found more things yesterday to total another 27 items. Now I'm like a day ahead. Sorry I'm really not trying to be an overachiever.

I hope my list might give you motivation today to find some things you can do without. We really need so little.

I posted a curb alert ad on craigslist yesterday and was able to dump a very worn patio set (table and 5 chairs) and a vanity light fixure I recently replaced in my bathroom. I tried to give away a car jack, but it was not of interest yesterday. If you are counting along that is 7 items!

The rest of the purge included:
3 pots worth of dead annuals
1 music cd
12 mini allen wrenches
1 plug adapter (that doesn't work)
1 miscellaneous tool
4 skewers
14 pieces of paper

That is a grand total of 43 items! Pictures below. Good luck today purging that which does not provide you with function and beauty.

    Among today's discarded items: Rice Cooker/Steamer, seedling heat mat, a scarf, too-small knit top, too-small blouse, two picture frames, jars and metal containers of screws.
    First two items are on the Freecycle list, next five items will go to a donation bin, last two items deposited at nearest light/electricity post to be picked up by some lucky pedestrian.

    Oh, i would have jumped to take the seedling heat mat. And i once got rid of some Allen wrenches only to regret it later when i needed just the right size....

    @patientsaver: Turns out we have a set of allen wrenches and all these individual ones matched those. I don't need duplicates!
