Day 60 - Items #55 and #56

I'm hoping to be caught up by the weekend!!  Here are 4 boots that are being thrown out.  Yeah...it's 4 boots but I'm going to count them as 2 items.  Is that OK?  Liz passed these on to me saying "Here, take a picture of these and let's get rid of them!"  I always oblige my wife!  They're perfectly good boots but no one wears them here anymore.  We'll find a good home for them.  Out they go.

Items #53 & #54 - Travel Shoe Shine Kit and Battery Charger

Two more things going out today.  First there is a travel shoe shine kit.  You wouldn't believe the dust that was gathering on this baby!  I do polish my shoes but I do it at home before I travel.  I saved the shoe polish but I don't need the travel kit.  And then there is this ancient, and I mean ancient, battery charger.  Sitting it a cupboard above the washing machine, it hasn't seen the light of day for years!!  We don't use batteries in the same way we did years ago.  This can go.  Say...we're getting more shelf space around the house these days!

Item 52 on Day 57 - Slide Sorter

I'll get caught up soon but only 1 item today.  It's a slide sorter!!  And I've got 2 of them.  This thing takes us back to a time when you could take either slides or prints on your camera.  I lived in Regina and had to mail my Kodak slide film to Brampton to be processed.  Years later I would live in Brampton, not far from the old Kodak plant!!  I still have lots of slides that need sorting but I sure don't need 2 slide sorters.  This is the smaller one.  I wouldn't have used this at all in the last....20 years or so!  It can go!!

Day 55 - Items #46-51!!! Various Items - See Below!

OK.  I'm trying to catch up!!  I went through my closet and I'm throwing out a whole bunch of stuff to try and make up for my holidays and days I needed to catch up on..

Here we go!!

# 46 - A couple of white shirts that are really getting a bit frayed around the edges!







#47 -  4 Short sleeve shirts - Yes, there are 4 items but I'm only counting them as 1!!











#48 - 5 T-shirts.  I have so many t-shirts.  I think enough for almost 1 per day for a month!!  I can calmly say good-bye to these ones.












#49 - A very tight pair of shorts!  I know... you'd probably like to see me in these but , believe me, it is not a pretty sight!!






















#50 - A Pair of Black Shoes - They are kinda tight.  Kinda worn out.  And now, kinda in the garbage!!















#51 - 2 Long Sleeved Shirts - The winter is passed (or at least we hope so).  I've got a few long sleeved shirts I can get rid of .  Here are two!!

We'll be caught up soon!!!!

52nd day - Stuff #44 and #45

Still catching up from my holidays.  Went into the garage looking for something to throw out.  Stuff just jumped out at me!!  Like this wicker-sleigh-card-holder-type-thingy along with an old, old, old pair of winter shoes that I've used in the last few years when visiting my daughter's horse in the barn.  The shoes are in worse shape than they look.  To be honest, I think I've worn them twice a year for the last 5 years!!  I've got other shoes/boots I can wear when I visit Molly.  The shoes go to the garbage.  The wicker-sleigh-card-holder-type-thingy will find a new home through our local recycler, WasteWise!

Hmmm.... Day 51, Items 42 and 43 - 3 Toques!!

Well...I recently got back from 10 days vacation in Florida.  Hot sun, warm sand, blue ocean, red skin!!  But I'm way behind in my Throwing Stuff Out!!  Looks like I'm going to have to pick up the pace and throw out 2 or 3 things a day for a while.  Here we are on Day 51 and I'm only up to items 42 and 43.  I'm saying these 3 toques count as 2 items because I had that poll going.  The top vote-getter was the wizard's toque.  Out it goes.  In the meantime I found another nondescript blue toque, so I'm going to throw 2 of those toques and count them for 1 item.  Is that OK with you??!!  Back in the saddle after a great holiday, ready to get going on chucking stuff away.  One thing I'd like to pitch is my snow shovel.  We had like a foot of snow today, March 23rd!!  Sheesh!  Oh, Canada....!!

Throwing Stuff Out is On Vacation - But Vote in the Poll!!

We're on holiday in Florida until March 20th.  I thought I would get ahead of the game and get a week's worth of stuff thrown out but it just wasn't to be.  I will have to make up for it when I get back.  We'll have Double Days!!  In the meantime, you can participate in my Toque Poll.  Which toque should I throw out?  You have to sign in to be able to vote but you can vote for as many toques as you would like to see tossed out!!  Lemme know what you think.  See you after March 20th!!
