We got all the roof and ceiling debris cleaned up and loaded into the dumpster! We got most of it done Saturday. Thank God, because Sunday was sweltering! I fizzled out quickly.

NICE! I hope you found them in time. :)

Back at the rental house tomorrow and Sunday, cleaning up the building materials that hubby piled up from inside. Hopefully we get it done and can get the dumpster picked up. Wish me luck, don't want him doing this by himself, too hot!

@Sunshinelinzee, you will love the Murphy bed! I consider yard work, like you did, decluttering. If it bothers you, or needs to be done, it counts! Congrats on making it your yard!

@NewLIFEstyle4ME you are doing great! Congrats girl, you look fabulous!

Spent the morning cleaning up insulation at our rental property. A tree fell on it during the hurricane last fall. There's no electricity and we're in a heat wave (97 degrees), so it was not fun. I got a good workout though!

I will have to see if there are any charity book stores in my area, I haven't heard of it before, I love it!

I decided that a Murphy bed was the only way I'd be able to have a spare room I could use, lol. We had a bed in there, but I had to scramble every time someone was coming to stay, to clear it off! I found the library bed online, saved for a year, and its my bliss! Books combined with a hidden bed...dream come true!

About 7 years ago I bought a library Murphy bed for the spare room. All my books fit on it, they are organized, and I got rid of a lot of bookcases. I have a lot of them but I re-read them. If I won't read again, I pass them to my neighbor.

Until recently, I've had feather pillows so I never considered washing them. I am now going to have to rethink this!

I'm laughing with you, I didn't realize how funny that sounds

For the last few weeks I've been going through boxes. My spare room has been accumulating the half full boxes (bad idea)! Today I decided that was enough, so I went into the blackness. To my shock, I only had 1 box, 1/2 full, and a bunch of empty boxes! I had a bunch of things for my daughter, so I filled 2 boxes for her.…

Thank you for sharing your success story! And congratulations for taking your control back! Now you have a clear path to happy ever after.

I love you too! By starting this wonderful thread you've started me on an adventure I've always wanted to go on, but had no idea how to book. Traveling through my past and letting it go, is giving me the freedom and joy to enjoy my future.

I felt the same way while married to my ex. He was toxic, but feeling that way was the reason I was not bothered by the suggestion of divorce. If someone loves you, you feel good about yourself...always. Its impressive that you have decided you are worth it!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

I too, have "decluttered" family from my life. Sometimes its the only way you can continue to be you. Sometimes I regret the choice was forced on me, but I have never regretted the choice. God bless us.

Love it! I'm naming mine "Wheel Barry" !

I have a similar "friend". I love it!

NewLifestyle4me you are always so inspiring! Well done!

Congratulations! My daughter and I trade clothes often, saves so much money, and its nice to add something different to your wardrobe. I have to do my spring "closet declutter", which includes drawers, soon.

I emptied a box today. Have another one to do tomorrow, then more can come in. Found more castle stuff, a bit worse for wear, but fixable. I'm going to need a bigger tote, if I find more!

Girlfriend you are so right! Life is so much better when you fight off the "gloom and doom" attitude! I'm still fighting, but things are better every day. Now to get my butt back in gear. 😆

Well, I've flat lined for the last couple days. I'm getting my daily stuff done, but keep getting interrupted, so nothing extra gets done. Having hubby take his boxes back out, nice weather means he doesn't have time. Hopefully he'll bring others in for me to go through. Then I'll feel like I'm accomplishing something and…

I have also been fighting the Complaining mindset! I have been trying to point out the things that I appreciate instead, every day. Note the word trying....I'm getting better, but not there yet.

Hope everyone had a happy Easter!

Congratulations! I have also managed to maintain my cleared spaces. It feels wonderful!

Girl, I'm so happy for you! I'm impressed with everyone here, we are changing what we aren't happy with. We are getting there!

I've gone through a couple more boxes. Getting rid of a lot of things! I love that we are getting things sorted out. There are things that are going back into boxes, but we are planning to move within 2 years. If either of us aren't sure we want to give something up, we don't. No pressure! We are both clearing things out.…

You've been busy! I love the wax/parchment paper tip!
