40 Bags in 40 Days to give away.
« on: July 10, 2012, 06:19:34 am »
As suggested by Uni....
40 bags in 40 days to give away, send to charity, friends, neighbors, somebody.


We could really clean and declutter. :D

This one is more up my alley than the $100 a week challenge.  Count me in....I might start on my clothes.  I still have a lot of size 24/22 and 2xl stuff in my wardrobe that are now too big for me......I mentally have a lot of garbage to get rid of as well.  I am hoarding these clothes because when I look in the mirror I still see myself as the same size I was 22kg ago.  I probably should have a look at what is in the kitchen as well...my tins fell out the other day and nearly gave me concussion.

I'm in.
Uni is using shopping bags and I'm using all those nice bags you get when you buy clothes, shoes etc.
I have a ton of them that I've kept but never used. Actually I would have several bags of bags just to start with.

I have books, kids toys, clothes, all to give away.
Imagine what clean homes we will have, even 10 bags is great. :D

Haven't got much to get rid off because I have just dropped off a couple of big bags to the op shop.  Have given away all the baby clothes and little newborn baby stuff to friends.  Cleaned out the kitchen cupboards not so long ago.  The stuff that really need a clean out is the garage but I don't think it would fit into bags.

Love the recycle of clothes, since having kids I'm always in the op shop picking up bargains for them.  They just grow through the clothes so quickly.  Also find some great things for me and DH too.

I've tidied the linen press today and ended up with sheets, towels, tablecloths, picture frames and candle holders in 1 very large plastic bag (the type charities leave in your letterbox) and a very full shopping bag. So that plus the 72 items of clothing from the wardrobes yesterday is a good start for me.

Yes I did a clean out not long ago so don't think I could find much else to give away or toss. Although my wardrobe probably needs a tidy up. Might get a couple of bags there.
