More chucking out of stuff

99. My year 12 formal dress. It's never going to fit again, I have no where to keep it.
100. My lamby when when I was a baby, it's torn and worn out.
101. my bag of socks that need darning, seriously I will never to it, I have gotten over it!

So even though this now counts this task as completed, now that I have started, I think will continue to chuck stuff out, because I seem to be doing so well at it!

bored = chuck stuff out

As a result of this post, I have decided I need to through some stuff out. I have decided cloths look like an easy target so here goes

88. 5 pairs of pants (trousers for those of you that way inclined) to the op shop
89. 9 t-shirts, to the op shop
90. 3 shirts to the op shop
91. two hand bags, one to the bin, one to the op shop
92. one purse
93. one sun hat, it's bright orange, I am never going to wear it.
94. 4 shirts
95. 3 sandals, 2 bin, one op shop, bye guys, I'll miss two of you anyway! Especially the red ones Clara chewed when she was a puppy, they were great.
96. my old camera box and instructions, I only haven't had that camera for 2 years.
97. an empty Cointreau bottle, honestly, why do I keep this shit!
98. Do you recon Body Shop things go off? So do I and I've had the stuff I chucked out since 2002.

chucking out

85. old washing basket, with no handles left that 3 out 4 of my dogs have had efforts at chewing (the only reason Molly hasn't is she wasn't a pappy with it was around)
86. two ye-olde baskets full of shit, that no one has looked in, or missed anything from since we moved house from Glen Iris ten years ago
87. a ceramic bowl full of the same sort of shit

More things... out

81. 100m long fax paper roll I picked up at work... why did I do that?
82. One of my original woggles (from Guides) that the puppies recently chewed (little buggers)
83. various cords we couldn't work out what they were for
84. My lab coat from uni. It was second hand when I got it, it was wee-ed on god knows how long ago, stinks and is full of holes.

I think that's enough for today

more chucks and freecycle

FreeCycle is a cool way to get rid of stuff you have that is still good, but you can't be arsed selling it and you just don't want it in the house anymore. I highly recommend you find a local group and cruse the listings, or even add to them your self.

65. Kate's old single bed (she gave me permission to get rid of this)
66. 6 foot tall inflatable penguin. Sorry person who gave me this, but what were you thinking?!?!?

Other things that have gone today that were on Freecycle include:

67. Fire mapping notes from 2006
68. phone car charger from about 3 phones ago
69. box of CD's and shit from my original PC, purchased in 2005
70. A while ago, i experimented with Space Bags as a whay to save on storage space. Lets just say.... they don't work. So chucking two of these
71. OMG I just found pay slips from 1997 and 1998! GONE!
72. My original sunglasses (I might see if there is a place you can give glasses to, I have a feeling there is, other wise they are for the bin)
73. my original High School calculator Canon F-600
74. a cheep arse belt that came free with a skirt and is all ratty. I kept saying to myself, the buckle is good, I can get some leather and make it into a decent belt, but who am I kidding!
75. 3 melty candles that are so wonky, you could never burn them
76. a jar of Berry Fruits in Cognac Syrup, that are 7 years past their used by date
77. 64MB of ram I found in a box.
78. some jila mints that I have no idea how old they are
79. my Sharp Electronic Organiser, with a whole 32 KB of memory. I think I got this is year 11 or something (~1993)
80. some attachments for something, that are labeled: "Car Power thingies"

history lesson

For those of you that don't know, I lived in Mildura for a year-ish for most of 2002 and a bit of 2003. Many things happened when I lived in Mildura. I discovered Peters of Kensington, bought my motor cycle and most of my pjs and put in a order for various bits of drugs from an online chemist. One of the purchases was two jars of acidophilus bifidus, which is very good for your stomach flora health. I started on one jar while I was up there and never finished it, and brought them both back with my when I returned to Melbourne.
I was good a while ago an checked the half a jar, bit since the other jar was still sealed, I kept it. Any way, today I checked it! I am obviously not going to taken them, if I haven't in the last 8 years. Also.... the used by.... it is: 13/8/2003.
They would probable be inactive now any way (the little bifidus' and things)

deck tidy effort

This is only the start of this tiding effort, I want the deck back, I am sick of it being covered in crap that was in the old garage.

61. Arlec Star lights: I bought these with the vague impression in my head, that Arlec was a quality brand. Turns out they were, and this was one of their first adventures in crap outdoor electricals. A few years ago, Clara chews a few of the wires and I was going to repair them, really I was.
62. A rusty tin of decking oil, that is soooooo rusty the lid has not been able to be removed for quite some time.
63. A large but short bit of pipe (diameter: Nearly a foot ~25cm, length, less than a foot) that I acquired, from a skip, quite some time ago to make into a cat house. I saw the cat house in a shot and it cost a fortune. I said, "I'd be able to make that myself, piece of piss" Anyway, the cats have not been living with me for quite a few years now, so I think it's time to let go!

I was going to include a box of hair that I have been collecting as I have been trimming the dogs, but that is mostly from laziness rather than it actually being a 'belonging'

bye bye jarmies and some others

60. When you look at them, you'll understand why they had to go. I have had these ones since I lived in Mildura since 2002. I'll miss you (of course the top is becoming a rag, but I'll keep the bottom half, there is nothing wrong with them, we have to go these things in stages you under stand!)
61. Two more books for the book library at work. One was a present from a friend, but it's really not that me. The other is a self help book I bought at an airport and really didn't help me at all.

throw

55. Two really old crap plastic containers I used to store dog food in that have been empty in the laundry for about 5 or 6 years
56. a ground sheet we bought when the garage fell down to cover the lawn mower that has been thoroughly 'puppied'
57. a crappy old rug, as per the item above re:Puppies
58. half a bag of grout in a plastic ice cream bucket that has been sitting in the laundry (and various other places) since Mum did the bath room about 8 years ago and has gone all hard
59. two large Infasoy tins I have had for 11 years and haven't used in 7 years, yes they might be useful one day but I think they have been waiting long enough

gone

53. three shirts - these are now all too small, and even though I made one, they have to go.
54. two dresses - again, even though I made one, they are both too small, and have to go

Maybe this will get me more motivated to practice the skills from task 13 and get moving on task 24.

Final task change

Old Task: Invite Rowan round for tea
New Task: Read "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
I was at a party last night and discussed this story last night and was reminded that I have always meant to read it. Remembering I had one last task to replace I decided it was an opportunity. This means this task goes from general to entertainment.

I feel lighter

50. Crappy old cheep arse Asian inspired jewelery box that I have had for years that Dad abandoned in some student accommodation years ago. I was only keeping it at all because I had no where else to keep my jewelery
51. one pair of earrings, that even though I made, I don't think I have ever warn.
52. three necklaces which although I loved them when I was 15, I have grown out of a bit. I gave them to my bosses boss at work for his two under 10 daughters. He thinks they will love them! A good out come all round.

This weekend, if we don't end up going to Beaufort, I will be chucking out some clothes, again.

Books - 2 gone

49. A lady at work decided that there should be a swap library on our floor, so I decided to donate some books that I didn't really like of mine. I thought I had heaps. Turns out there were only two. Oh well, better than nothing!

4 inches and others

47. 4 inches of shit from my bookshelf, including instructions for games I haven't played in years, a 2003 prospectus from Melbourne Uni for post-grad study and heaps of ArcGIS stuff for versions no one uses and more.!! Yay
48. Some food I found in my room, that we don't eveen want to talk about was sooooo far past it's used by date....

gone

Ages ago (try more than 15 years) I bought some roller blades of a friend. I have used them probably 10 times during the intervening years. I have put them on Darebin Freecycle and they will be being pick up on Friday.

46. Roller blades

More things out-a-here

44. Polar Fleece
45. Black V-Neck

Once again, both off to the Brother Hood or what ever.
Note: Still haven't taken that back to the brother hood bin.....

one last bit of cloths

43. two pairs of socks I should never have bought, cos they are too big (one was even still in the packet)

coths disposal

I decided to go through all my cloths and throw out the stuff I am never going to fit into again. I have decided only to count the first one of things I threw out, otherwise I don't think that would be the 'spirit' of the throw out 101 things.

36. Shoes - one pair of sandals
    
37. Jacket - just the one, size 12, lovely, but double breasted, so it dosn't fit the 'rules' for me
    
38. t-shirts - 6 (doing well)
    
39. Pants - 8! Wow. Most of these have gone to Kate
    
40. Skirts - 6, one for Kate
    
41. shirts - 4, all thread bare and years old
    
42. shorts - 0 at this stage, but it's too cold to try them on
    
43. other - 1, hmmmm, I actually did this a week or so ago, and I have already forget on what this one referred to, but it's out-a-here too.

So, all this stuff is off to the op shop, now all I have to do is get it there!!!

Slow and steady

I am throwing out more and more stuff!!

32. Keys from cars we have gotten rid of
    
33. $50 tin (tin with a $50 printed on it)
    
34. Perspex document holder
    
35. Excess shower head (yay free-cycle)

chucks

30. 1 bottle of 4 years paste it's used by date chocolate sause.
31. 13 empty CD covers
