Happy New Year! Happy new Daily Tally!

I decided that since I said I was sure I could find 500 things to get rid of in my home this year, I would make my goal 600 in 2024, to stretch myself a bit.

Today I donated: 6 items of clothing, threw out an old bowl, and sold a stroller that was in the garage.

2024: 8/600

2023: 1002+ items gone

I did not buy anything at the pottery sale. But my friend gave me a necklace she made for me - a copy of one she sold at the winter holiday sale.

Dd and sil went to the sale on bag day and sil got "the rest of the curtains" for me. Except two are the wrong ones and the two I am still most sorry I didn't buy were gone. I'm still regretting those. Dh picked up curtain rods for me. Plus 8 items. But 4 of the curtains are hung.

Sent six books home with ds, so a net plus 2.

Day 115.

I'll try to work on stuff again next week after my pottery sale.

I went to a rummage sale yesterday and bought three really nice curtains $1 each. They will need to be hemmed to hang where I plan to use them.

There were more of the same type in other colors and I am actually wishing I had bought them all now, because I love the fabric, but I exercised restraint.

Net 108/366

Lila, you have been doing great!

I stalled.
Also, I bought a Lego set my for class, it came with a free gift of a little Lego set. The little set is not relevant to the class, so I am keeping it because I like it.

I am going to start falling behind again if I don't get back to this.

I started a new donation bag from my bedroom. One wooden light switch plate (new), one package of clothing labels, one massager. I am also giving away a ring online. I found it in my car a year ago but none of my friends or kids' friends claimed it.

I like how you put what day of the year it is, SubC. It is good to think about that, for me.

Also sifted through a box of costume jewelry while Dh was packing to go - my dresser is much messier now, but I found 5 pieces to pass on.

Little by little it will happen. It really adds up. Over 1000 items last year, out of my house!

I did buy a silicone rabbit muffin pan at the grocery store to try out, so net 4.

My very large dining room table just left, given away. My son is bringing his in to use, but it will not move with me when I move. So I am one item lighter!

Lila, good for you digging into the hard stuff.

I find that sometimes if I shift categories or areas after doing that, a place that was hard before gets easier.

Four lidded plastic bowls to donate pile - I actually found those the othe4 day in the studio, but they were dusty, so I wanted to run them through the dishwasher before I donated them.
