Day 5 of the 21 Day Decluttering Challenge

It’s amazing to me that I have only been working on this decluttering challenge for 2 days and I’m already up to 120 items gone. In case you were wondering, I joined in a few days late so that’s how I’ve only done 2 days but I’m on day 5.

Yesterday, I was really struggling.  I went through 3 full buckets and still ended up with 3 full buckets.  I’m going to try again today with those same ones and maybe I’ll even throw in a fourth one just so I get some new stuff in the mix.  If I start with four buckets, I’d like to get them pared down to two buckets.

Here we go!!

• Bandana
• Pack of 2 bandanas
• Brat doll
• Wooden medal that I won at work
• Stickers for a toy
• Small canvas bag
• Styrofoam
• Aveeno Advanced Care lotion
• Cat toy that’s missing it’s ball
• 2 Christmas coasters
• Disney snow globe from 2005
• Red heart
• Heart candy mold
• Pocket Car
• Little jewelry bag
• Angry Birds Exploding candy
• Little toy rake
• Milk glass cradle
• Toy teapot
• Flashing froggy pin
• Big clamp
• End of an ethernet cable
• Dear America book – The Winter of Red Snow
• Jesus who helped people book
• Calcium and Magnesium vitamins that expired in 2013
• A Christmas Snowglobe
• 3 packs of ribbons
• Wooden box
• Video recorder – it’s a really nice one but who has parts for these anymore?
• 2 magazines
• Giant pill bottle with M&M’s in it.

That makes 35 things!!

Apparently, these things I’ve been going through all mean a lot to me since I’m having such a hard time getting rid of them.  My state of mind was better today and I still struggled.

The stats so far look like this:

• Day 3 = 59
• Day 4 = 61
• Day 5 = 35

Total = 155.  I hope I can do a lot more tomorrow!  I’ll have more time so hopefully that means more stuff out the door.
