Not much time tonight to write....cleaning the house, also the computer was broken for the last 2 nights, so I am behind reading the postings....I'll catch up this weekend.
I will be frantically cleaning the house.....I have short-term and long-term company coming. I am drowning in STUFF!!! So much STUFF!!!!
I have erased the last 2 months' worth of debt paydown progress.....so I am going to start all over again and STICK TO IT!!! I will NOT give up.......ever!!!!!!!!! (Hopefully, it won't be a long time................!)
Okay, gotta put STUFF in the bedroom to shovel out the livingroom...then have to organize the STUFF in the kitchen. Slowly, very slowly, I am purging STUFF out of this house....
Bye for now! Littlesbigs

Hi, Whiz,
I'm not using a real system...I've been relatively unsucessful in getting the momentum going over here with the housecleaning/purging over here. I say I'm going to do it, but run short on time in reality or life makes plans for me to do something else. I have been struggling with money and time issues in the last several months worse than usual.
When I am doing a purge, so far, I have been throwing away a loy of PAPER....old bills, receipts, magazines, newpapers. Amazing all the space it takes up. When I am able to toss out stuff, I am asking myself if I can give it away before I ask myself if I should throw it away. I've made a couple bags of things to give away to relatives who have been happy to get the stuff or know who else would like it. In this time of high gas bills, it is making my family more conservation aware with everything not just gas. Suddenly we all realize that this gas price problem is affecting everything.....so recycling and reusing has become THE thing to do.
Basically, I am tyring to go thru things accumulates thru the years and get controlover newer things......seems like there are things that I just never found a place for. I have boxes and boxes of junk....I don't know how they ended up inthe boxes (although I have done A LOT of camoflauge cleaning over the years, a by-product of not having TIME).....but after I do spend an hour throwing SOMETHING away, it seems I am just amazed how much I spent to have the things that are clutter.
I am hoping for a few more rainy days so that I don't have the urge to get out of the house....I could do more work onthis project that never seems to end.....
I'm not surprised you have to take hours to straighten out a drawer.......STUFF accumulates......for me, it is like a by-product of debt.
Take care! Littlesbigs
