I took another load to the thrift store. I had various clothes, kitchen stuff, baskets that I couldn't use, party size coffee pot, games, toys and other misc. stuff. It feels so good to get all of this stuff out of my house.

We're having a yard sale this weekend and I'm preparing for some major numbers to post on here! Already we have 219 movies ready to go out ... of course I'm not sure how many will sell or not and I don't want to start posting until I'm sure. The books I'm sure about because what the bookstore won't take, I'm donating.
OK, we had a yard sale this weekend and got rid of a ton of stuff! In fact, I really haven't a clue how much stuff went ... so I'm going to take a stab and say 500 items. I think that is reasonable. Grand Total 855!!

Great job on the yard sale!!!

I'm up to 282, but the most important thing is that I actually went and took several months worth of stuff to the thrift store. Go me!

I am up to 1,121 Items!

Cleaned out my closet and my dd closet took 233 items to the thrift store this morning. Yeah!! I can't believe how many clothes we both had that we never ever wore or was way to small for us. Glad they are gone.

We got a new HE washer and new refrigerator so we gave my sister's family our older models along with a bed frame and at least 20 bottles of non HE detregant to go with the washer. Gave them some misc. household supplies also and 2 dressers.
35 more items gone

525 total to date!
