We've been living here a yr. now & I got tired of not being able to move in it. Its only a 1 car garage. For some reason houses in Maine don't usually have garages, even brand new ones so we were lucky to find one w/a garage. I just started throwing out everything that hadn't been used, missed, looked for in the last yr. I have a bag of stuff for Goodwill & the rest is by the curb for garbage pickup tomorrow.

I'm using that old rule of if you haven't worn it or used it in the last 2 yrs. you won't be needing it. I've been going right thru this house & there's still way too much stuff here. I can't bear to throw out or give away my clothes I haven't worn in yrs. I might want to wear it someday. I have decided that anything I haven't worn in the last 6 yrs. in Fl or this summer up here I'm never going to wear so in the fall it goes. Same for winter clothes, anything I didn't wear last yr. I won't wear this yr. so it goes this fall.

Thats how I'm doing it. You need to get into a throw out mind set. Btw the garage looks great tonight. dee

Dee, i am very good at throwing out. In fact i went to the goodwill this afternoon with three bags of maternity clothes. I had Hannah almost 13 years ago. I gave away most of my stuff but kept the work type stuff. They turned me away because people they have too much stuff to sort. Can you believe it? People are giving them too much stuff.
