1000. Another green bin full of garden waste.
Whoo hoo - made it to 1000. I've only been doing this since June so I'm not too behind target for the full 2016 by end of the year. :T
ermmm - I've just calculated that thats roughly 66 items a week until the end of the year :eek:Shifting my energy for 20200 -
Attempting to keep up the momentum required for me to hit target:
1001. Broken brooch - bin
1002. dead hairbrush - bin
1003. dead insoles - bin
1004. pen refill to friend
1005 - 1007 - 3 X tops with tears - textile recycling
1008 - teeth whitening kit - bin
1009 - pedicure stuff - bin
1010 & 11 - 2 x dead micro-bead pillows - bin
Isn't it funny what things are hard to part with? Those micro-bead pillows were in really bad condition but I found it hard to get rid of them as they smelled of Summer (I used them when lying around in the garden) ...Shifting my energy for 20200 -

030/031 - Two holey pairs of pants BINNED.
Most of my de-cluttering in the last few days has been pairs of items. Hopefully this means I will reach my target in half the time! :rotfl:
I have 83 items to get rid of to reach my target of 114, and 102 days to do it in! Over a quarter of the way to my target thou!
