For week 7, I pulled a Jack which meant 25 items to purge.
This week I decided to use the Jack for a project instead of just getting rid of 25 items. I have been procrastinating on cleaning my kitchen desk. It is a dumping ground for junk and mail and books and papers.
Here is my starting point:
In 16 minutes I had most of my desk cleaned off and the garbage taken out of the house.
I undoubtedly threw out more than 25 items on that desk but it was more important to clean it off and help eliminate the unsightly pile from the kitchen.
Now, with that task done I pulled a card for week 8. It’s a King 🤦♀️. Ouch that’s a 75. Maybe the Hubs should get rid of 75 of his neckties lol!
Already two months down! See you next week -MM
Yes, purge the neckties!

…And don’t get tempted to keep them for some imaginary/wistful use as scraps in a future ‘quilt’…they are the worst! Just sayin’…

What a great idea! I will have to try it. Our house could definitely do with a decluttering.

What an excellent idea! 16 minutes of furious tidying and it all done.

Sometimes I set a stop watch and dig in that way too 🙂
