I am trying to do this too...........I was pleased when I had 2 boxes to get rid of..........and then I was thinking, I can use that thin stuff as filler for the thick stuff I can use to make doggy beds, so I need to.....and there I went, taking things back out of the boxes that I was going to get rid of.............now I have to go back and make me again toss those things into those give away boxes........why is this so hard??? I think a lot of us were raised during those years when you didn't throw things away if you could use them...........and now we have tight budgets, esp those of us who are retired...........we hate to take something away that we might be able to use later....soo there it is, CLUTTER....I need someone to come along and de-clutter everything in this house............
