I need to check with my husband's school's drama department to see if they need any clothing or props.

if they don't then check with a local community theater. i had decades of costumes and odd little props i collected doing years of theater that i finaly went through about a year ago. i contacted the local theater company and they were happy to take it off my hands.

7 Amazon returns dropped off

nice to know i'm not the only one doing allot of returns to them. i've had such issues trying to find decent quality simple women's tops. went through about 4 styles and finaly thought i had found one that worked, ordered it in multiple colors only to find that the fabric changed between them and was awful so i kept 2 colors of it and then located another style that's been more successful/consistant color to color. since they split up orders into multiple packages i end up schlepping multiple packages to the ups drop off place (hopefully the last package of the awful ones finaly arrives this week so i can turn around and send them back).

It’s been a long time since I destashed anything. But, we noticed our fridge was going over the last 2 weeks, so we bought a new one. It got delivered on Tuesday. While clearing out the old one, I tossed several older bottles of salad dressings & jellies, some older cheese & butters, small packages of condiments & sauces etc from the fridge. The freezer had some older ice cream, random single pieces of meat & frozen fish sticks that were saved too long, a package of potstickers the store gave for free that we ended up not liking, a can each of frozen OJ & lemonade concentrate that had started to thaw that all got tossed. The old fridge was taken away when they delivered the new one.

Husband & I changed out our summer clothes to heavier ones. We each had several shirts & shorts for donating after that. I also had 4 pairs of pajamas. In all, we have 2 trash bags to go.

October update: Another not so good month. Got rid of a handfull of small items but nothing of real tangabile increase of space. Part of the issue is I started a new workout program to help with weight lose and overall fitness and that is taking up some of my "spare" time! The upside it is at least some items have left the house!

1 partial notepad - used up

1 pair of socks - trashed
1 baking pan (rusted) - trashed
2 dead pens - trashed

1 small grocery bag of misc papers - shredded and recycled
2 cardboard boxes - recycled

1 baking pan - donated

I really have to do the basement but I decided to start small.

We are tackling one space at a time. We’ve done spare room, bathroom, linen closet, book shelves, dining room , and pantry. Still a LOT left to sort. I posted some stuff on Nextdoor and my son took some for his place. I donated stuff to a shelter and bags of clothes to charity. I have another 4 boxes of stuff ready to move but my son wants a peek first. It’s hard to believe how much stuff we accumulated over the years!
