This is the Friday check-in for knotty moral support going into the weekend.What are you planning to purge/clean/declutter this weekend?
How have things gone so far?
This a forty day period in the spring (coinciding with the 40 days of Lent) where you focus on cleaning one area per day. In this one area you challenge yourself to declutter, simplify, decrapify, and get rid of things you don’t need. We started on Weds, Feb 18 and will go to April 4. Youc an join us at any time - today on day 3 or day 39!
Some knotties are ridding out one bag a day, some more, some less. Others (like me) are striving to organzine/ clean/ declutter one space per day. It could be a room, a table, a cabinet or your inbox - there aren't any rules.
@Ashley8918 has earned the title of "Clean Closet Queen" for her efforts thus far.
@lc07 generously donated wine stoppers, so that some quitter out there can enjoy dead wine the following day. She's a winner bc she can finish a bottle in one sitting and now has less crap!
What have you gotten rid of?
Re: 40/40 challenge ~ First Friday Check-in
Today: dining room table. This weekend: tackling the office.
Tomorow, I'll be going through the stuff on the top of my dresser.
Sunday I'll be regular cleaning. So I don't know if that counts.
My parents mentioned a trip to CVS for travel toiletries yesterday. Before dropping them at the airport, I went through my stash and gave them enough mini everything for their 2 week trip. I also got rid of those containers that were mostly empty, manky-looking, or otherwise undesirable. Half a bag but feeling productive!
I don't have anything specific in mind for this weekend, but I have a potential subletter coming to look at my apartment so I'll do whatever cleaning needs to be done to make it presentable. This morning I noticed that one part of the grout in the shower was looking a little dirty and got the uncontrollable urge to clean it before leaving for work.
Also made a quick pass through my closet and started bagging some of the "obviously never going to wear this gain" clothing. I have a LOT of downsizing to do before I move my stuff into FI's place.
I didn't go through the coats but it's on the list for tomorrow. Also tomorrow I have a couple bins of shoes and a couple bins of purses to go through. I'm sure I'll get a couple bags from that stuff. Feels so great!
