house cleaning thread!

[jojo@rolling acres farm]

I've already cleaned out three drawers from my buffet...stuff I never use...always think I will. No, I won't its gone. I've already got a bunch of stuff in the car - going to Goodwill.

We moved to a much smaller house 6 years ago opted for more land so we could keep goats & horses. This house has very little storage. That is my biggest issue. So, if I don't use it daily/weekly I'm tossing it. I've been wanting to toss stuff for a while...just felt so guilty. I'm always worried about wasting money. I mean I'm giving up cookware that I don't use. Linens that I may use every three years at Christmas. It all takes up more space than I have! I can't stand it a minute longer.

I put my collection of painted ponies on CL last week...I've been feeling this coming on for several days.

You go girl! You're not wasting money by de-cluttering. Think of it as stream-lining, downsizing and getting strong and efficient. You won't want to bring home more "stuff" and that should save you money in the long run.

I swept the living room and have a load in the dishwasher. About to start the washer. I also like to cook a bunch of meals on Saturday so we have ready lunches for the week.

It is yucky outside, so domestic goddess time is a good idea...no matter how much I hate it

TipsyDog...you are a genius! I never thought of that. It will save me money!

I just got back from Goodwill run #1. Still going strong...But, it is a perfect day outside and I feel like I should be cleaning the barn!

Which is what I would rather be doing...must stay strong...must keep my focus...

OP, what a great thread! I need some accountability where my chores are concerned! Reading what others do...I'm not feeling that ambitious today but I do have a few things to do:

1)run dishwasher/put away dishes

2)1 load laundry

3)tend/play with chickens/goats

I need to spend some time with my kiddles today so I'm keeping it light.

I have a red, ultrasuede couch and a white, drooling boxer, as well as a fluffy white pomeranian.

Half my cleaning day is devoted to the couch; even though we try to keep up with it all week.
