I started doing this a few weeks ago, mostly with clothes. So this is to motivate me to actually not only fund stuff to get rid off, but get rid of it.

I was going to try selling things, but honestly, I know I'll end up not getting around to doing that, so I just need to bag up and bin or take to the charity shop.

Still haven't sorted out the boxes, so need to do that. I will fill another bag for the charity shop next week.

Went through my cook books, and have a pile to donate to the charity shop now.

The cook books are still waiting for me to take them to the charity shop, but I've also gone through and found a few bits for a raffle/tombola draw.

Slowly getting there, not that I can see any difference yet!

I went through two boxes, and bags, and decided what to keep and throw out, so I now have 1 box with a few things, rather than 2 things taking up more space.

i ordered storage things for blankets and towels and clothes, some for the closet, and some for under the bed.

hopefully this helps me organize a bit, and store things long term that I don't want to get dirty and dusty and only need for a few months a year.

I have more stuff ready to go to the charity shop. I need to go through my books though and take out the ones I've read and wouldn't read again.
