Harriet, yours was such a nice post it was great to read it twice! I especially liked the one with the little flower sticker!
Ducking and running..... So yesterday I dropped the bin of stuff at donation center. We have a drive-thru donation spot and someone comes out and sorts into their bins. I had a hodgepodge of stuff, lots and it was getting heavy so I'm glad to have that gone. Had sorted out office closet, walk in bedroom closet, a few kitchen items. Amazing the stuff we accumulate.
Interesting watching the guy in front of me bringing out his stuff from his trunk, an equally eclectic group of stuff, and I could easily see that he'd been cleaning out! Good for him!
Got a tax receipt this time. We could possibly itemize this year with all the dental receipts etc. but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Anyway, new computer system to go in and list items with receipt number...interesting but impossible to use, not nearly enough categories. I ended up putting it all under miscellaneous as the 1 item and other hh items and a total. Handwrote all the items on the printed page. Will satisfy the tax man. Tax refund is NOT the reason I declutter. Peace and order is.
