An average of 1 cupboard (or drawer) a day was my challenge. Emptied, cleaned, reorganised, and a harsh line on keeping anything not used.
I started on 14th July, and my target was to end on 31st August. The last few days were a washout, so I don't know if I managed to maintain my average or not.
18 days in July (14th-31st, inclusive, plus 31 days in August = a target of 49.
Let me just go and count.....
'1-2-3-4.........."
Hmm... If I count my tall larder cuboard (which has 8 shelves, all jam packed with tins, jars and dry food stuff as 3 cupboards worth, then I've done it. Just. 7 of the count were drawers or cupboards in other rooms, but that's been the case right since the beginning.
UPDATE: I missed out a massive cupboard and a mobile storage unit! Even without counting the tall larder cupboard as 3 cupboards, I've done it!
I got rid of a lot of stuff. Donations, bin, selling.
I didn't do all the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen. There are 3 cupboards plus 1 drawer that really need doing and haven't been done, and several which don't need doing (but I haven't cheated and counted them in my "done" total).
It's been a good challenge, which fitted my determination to clear, and I might well employ it again in future.
I'll need to decide my next challenge soon.
Meanwhile,..
I've agreed a sale on most of the excess furniture, and I'm hoping they weill go at the weekend. We can then rearrange stuff and work out what to do.
The table I broke when I did the splits is unrepairable. DH was keen to get something taller for the hall, so we've retrieved an old table from the loft to put there for now.
