Wow! Only 5 days left! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I thought 21 days was a long time. I’ve decided that I should do 21 days in each room of my house and my bedroom is next on the list. I think that’s a great idea! Once I get through all the rooms decluttering as much as I can, the next go round could be done following the real rules of the 21 Day Decluttering Challenge.
Today has not been a great day for everything else but it’s already been a pretty good decluttering day. I think I have over 16 things. Let’s find out…
- Weird colorful stuffed animal – pig, bear, cat.. not sure
- Shoe speaker
- The farm that goes with the top that I got rid of a few days ago because I didn’t think I had the farm anymore
- Happy Birthday balloon that never loses air
- Tube of Colgate toothpaste
- Backpack
- Another backpack
- Big red purse
- Toothbrush that probably went with the Colgate toothpaste
- Finger eraser
- LIFE Adventures card game
- Fish tank cleaner
- White socks
- Blue and black socks
- Pink and black socks
- Golf towel
- CD
- A movie
- Belt
- Blue Christmas Lightbulb light without the light inside
- M&M golf guys candy dispenser
- Pair of pants
- Purple Brush
- Purple accessory case
- Fake Tinkerbell costume
- Marker
Whew! I did it! I got 27 things for today!
It’s getting hard to take the pics because there’s so much stuff in the living room right now. Some waiting to go out the front door and some still waiting to be gone through. Unfortunately, there’s also some things in there that need to go on the front porch (the front porch is much worse than this now). Since the front porch is completely packed again, there’s no place for it to go. Maybe I should rethink my plan and do the front porch next and then my bedroom after that. Once it gets too cold, I don’t like working on the front porch.
Ok, that settles it. The next 21 day decluttering will be for the front porch and then my bedroom will be after that. Either way, I will definitely be able to breath a sigh of relief once it’s all out.
You are doing great, and planning on doing a 21 day challenge in each room of the house, that just blows my mind 🙂
I think I would be hard pressed to do that… I could probably need to try it.. but there is a chance that in certain rooms there would be nothing but the bare walls and floor left if I did (actually I would have to tear up the floor and walls in at least one of my rooms to to get to 231 items)… and that is just a LITTLE excessive 😉
That’s the thing.. I do actually have that much in each room that I could do it. I love how fast the decluttering challenge works. I need to see some progress to stay motivated.
It’s great isn’t it.. when you see the progress! I’m not noticing to much yet, as most of my decluttering have been hiding behind closed cabinet/wardrobe doors (and the cabinets/wardrobe units are still there… what I HAVE noticed though is how full the car has been when I’ve driven stuff away 😉 So I KNOW there is less and less in the house..
Way to go! I’m still not done with my first round but will join you in spirit for the next challenge. We really need to declutter in our garage – when it cools off.
I need it cooler before I can work in my porch. I’d really like to start right away after I’m done with this one!
And I need to to my outside storage area… but I need to do it before it gets too cold… so I really should jump on it as soon as possible…
My gosh – where do you guys all get your energy for this? Maybe I should hire you declutterers to come to the UK to sort my crap out! I work from home running craft classes at various venues and I am gradually getting buried under all the crap I don’t have time to clean up! And I SO need some clear space for my peace of mind.I had every intention of using someone else’s 15 minute idea today and still haven’t done it! It’s now 5.15pm. You are all amazing!
Well.. I am only across the waters from you, and I AM coming to England in a couple off weeks… but sadly.. I’m going to be super busy… I’m visiting my mum Ringwood area and then off to London to celebrate my brothers wife 40’ieth birthday 🙂 What part of UK are you in?
Wow – hope our lovely autumn weather holds for you. So you are Norway? That’s practically around the corner from us 😀 I assumed your were in the US. (I assume everyone except me lives there). My husband used to go there on exercise when he was in the army. We keep saying we are going to do a cruise to Norway and I am sure we will soon.
Where are we? We are in Felixstowe, a small coastal town in Suffolk. So your mum is in Ringwood? That’s about an hour away from where my son and his wife live. The world is really quite small. Hope you have a wonderful time when you get here.
Please excuse us Jen, for holding a mini conversation on your blog post! 😀
Good going, girl! I’m crying over that purple case, I want it!! But then, I have to remind myself, I DO NOT wear makeup-stop it!!
I’m so happy for you!!
That will be terrific, to keep going! My front porch is mostly PP’s toys. But hmm, wonder if I should at least go out there??? My trouble is : hot as blazes! ANd I hate to sweat! lol
Too hot and too cold are both hard to deal with out on the porch! So, I don’t get to it much except during spring and fall which isn’t nearly often enough lol.
I missed the one day of spring here! lol And I’ll probably miss the 2 days of fall!!
Lol!!
