Still working in the office
to the donations/schools-10 packages of decorative printer paper, 12 small notepads, 2 boxes of markers, a box of colored pencils, 1 15 piece set of decorative cutting scissors
to the trash -- 10 more manuals for things that have already left the house or were given to the ex, a stack of papers that were sorted and deemed "shreddable" and 3 briefcases that are too small for my new laptop.
New total.....815......and still haven't made a dent!!!

Getting on the tossing bandwagon, better late than never! A company that takes donations has now set up a truck near my grocery store. It's really easy now on grocery day to drop off a bag of something. No excuses now.
I started by taking a bag of clothes last week. Time to start another bag. As summer approaches it's a good time to try on everything and toss what doesn't fit.

BL, I bet the school loves the decorative paper and the rest of the donations! What a great idea.
Jo, welcome aboard! Never too late! That's so cool that there's a truck near the grocery store. Easy peasy to donate now!
Have been tossing odds and ends myself....nothing of real note and most of it into the trash but at least things going out the door! Love that!

I asked my son what clothes of his in his closet I could donate, since he moved out, and he said all of them, but a few things. So I did that today, 20 items that filled three garbage bags! Now our guest room closet has room for guest's clothes!

I also tossed a very-stuffed garbage bag of paper, from emptying a file cabinet drawer. It's hard to stop once I get going. I told my hubby that I "am without Ruth"! (Ruth-less!)

Minimal tossing here, other than the regular recycling.
Did toss a gladware container, last week and a stretched out hair scrunchie, yesterday.

Jo, great job on the tossing! lol on the ruthless comment!
Bless, every little bit out is a good thing!
Had to toss my magic bullet last week....it pretty much died. Haven't replaced it yet...may not while the heavier duty blender works well. I make a smoothie almost every morning for breakfast so a blender is pretty much essential. In addition, there's the usual recycle and trash.
