Anybody else still "Spring Cleaning"?

[reezz]

Ive been trying to get rid of a lot of stuff around here that we dont use, especially the big stuff....Most misc. small items already got given away.


I just "loaned" my eliptical machine to a friend for about 6 months because I dont use it in the warm months.

Now Id really like to get rid of the massive entertainment center we have in the living room. Ive posted it for free on Craigslist but no serious takers.

I tell DH all the time I wish I could just turn the entire house upside down and shake everything out.

Its such a relief to clear stuff out.....Ive never really been a "stuff" person but its amazing how things accumulate.

We do. We're moving next month, so I think well be getting rid of a lot of crap. We've got so much stuff we don't need!

The trick to get DH to clean is watch Hoarders. After a few episodes, he's ready to throw everything out!

lol. That's my trick as well, a couple episodes of Hoarders and I'm ready to send everything to the dump!

reezz, I'm definitely still cleaning. I had a lot of things to do during spring but I was sick for about a month so I'm waaaaaay behind on the schedule I set for myself.

But like you said when you clear out stuff it's a relief so I'll just keep going, even if my "spring" cleaning goes past summer into fall and winter!

I don't "spring clean" I do spring, summer, summer, fall, and winter ceaning! It seams like a never ending process. Now with a grandkid on the way that we will be babysitting, we are in high gear and the stuff is having babies! It never ends!!

Ugh, all the time!! Im constantly getting rid of stuff. A lot more than i bring in. With the exception of the stockpile items..lol. i watch hoarders too and yes, it freaks me out and i start going through stuff. Im ocd and i like things a certain way, which i wont be able to have til the kids are grown, so i deal with them.. they are slobs. Ive been putting things out to the road and a lot has been taken!

I never stop!!! I'm the opposite of a hoarder! I get rid of stuff every chance I get!! My favorite thing to do, is to gather up stuff on Wednesday mornings, and put them out in the trash. Why???? Because it's trash day!! I can't change my mind and bring it back in...and neither can anyone else! I tend to do this on Wednesdays when nobody else is home. Funny thing is...nobody has ever missed anything that I've tossed when they're not here!

I wish I could do that! Our trash day is Monday and he comes about 6AM. Everybody is home on Sunday nights so I can't do it then and getting up and trying not to wake up our house of light sleepers is not going to happen! Now, if the kids are gone somewhere, I have no problems boxing stuff up and putting it in my truck so it can go to goodwill when I am in town!

We had a yard sale last weekend, and only the small stuff went. So yes, I want to get rid of more! Hubby's work had a food/nonperishables drive, last day was today. That really helped me clean out the stockpile and get rid of stuff.

I have a crib/changing table that nobody wants because it's drop down side. The oak tv stand that didn't sell and a few of the kids bigger toys, I put them out at the curb with a free/gratis sign on them, and they all went within a few hours.

I know what you mean, I have accumulated lots of stuff just in the last year,,,,,again. Still have boxes of clothes from last years yard sale I ended up with.

Been donating and tossing a lot. I have my niece in town to help me get rid of lots of it. She's a big help.
