2012 in 2012 Update: January

 Mission: Declutter is still underway.Mission: Keep Myself Accountable is resuming.January was a big month for clearing, cleaning and culling. Certainly that has something to do with starting afresh? Clean slate and all that?Sparky and I spent a few hours decluttering our wardrobes, and I took an hour to clean out the bathroom cabinet completely. (Rock'n'roll. That's us.)Here is what we've said goodbye to since our previous update:

Items Donated or Given Away:

• kids clothes x 31
• my clothes x 38
• Sparky's clothes x 11
• accessories x 8
• home decor x 5
• shoes x 2
• electrical items x 2

Items Thrown Away (Beyond Repair or Use):

• my clothes x 32
• perfumes x 2
• shoes x 3
• Sparky's clothes x 11
• misc. toiletries x 23
• make-up samples x 7
• enormous bag of coat hangers

Total = 176Add that to the 231 items from the previous update and I've decluttered our home of 407 items in January. That's just under 20%! Things are getting serious...
