And since I just organized paperwork this morning I'm calling that my first bag. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845098 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:52:09 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1845098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We had a long list of things we wanted to accomplish before TTC and cleaning out the basement is one of the last things on our list. I'd love to get it cleaned out before Halloween, so this will be perfect to jump-start our effort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845092 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:50:38 +0000 mrs. bird 1845092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yesssss!!!!! i need this! i'm away tonight, but i will just do an extra bag tomorrow! woohooooooo!! i cleaned the table over the wk end (i did leave the sewing machine on it, but it's covered &amp; i'm still using it for a project, it'll go away once i'm done, provided i don't just start yet another project :D ) &amp; it feels so much better, i hate having crap on the table, but it ends up catching odds and ends. great timing, this is a good time to purge old clothes (so. much. clothing.) while switching to fall stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845091 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:50:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 1845091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really participate since we did like 100 bags in 40 days with the last challenge... right before we moved! We REALLY slimmed down and now I'm an anti-junk freak!</p> <p>Let me tell you-- It feels SO SO SO GOOD!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845065 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:43:56 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1845065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Great! And I can't wait to see what you post on the classifieds - the Skylar Luna pjs I bought from you have quickly turned into my favorite pair for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845052 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:34:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1845052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in, but I think I need to wait until we know what the gender of this one is to really purge, but I'm getting the itch to eliminate. However, I do want to go through totes of clothes and eliminate those that make no sense due to opposite seasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845039 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:30:22 +0000 MamaG 1845039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We need this! We just took 3 boxes of books out of the house this weekend and I have multiple items listed on CL and FB BST groups. I'm in on this. Goodwill will appreciate the donations when I'm done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845031 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:25:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1845031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: sure!</p> <p>@mrs.shinerbock: yes i'm starting today! i'll post a daily check-in starting tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845030 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:25:47 +0000 ValentineMommy 1845030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845029 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:25:43 +0000 .twist. 1845029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will try!

We've been decluttering areas because LO is crawling and into everything, so we need to clean out all of the cabinets and drawers that are at her level. Does it start today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845017 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:20:00 +0000 babycanuck 1845017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm totally in. Can I count the decluttering we did on the weekend? 2 large bags + 7 boxes of stuff, but I won't count the boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845015 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:19:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1845015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: @Mrs. Lion: @Mamaof2: oops yes i meant 1 bag a day for 10 days!</p> <p>we are pretty minimalist, but we always have kids' things that we can pare down, and i always have paper. i've let it accumulate for years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845012 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:18:35 +0000 rachiecakes 1845012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I half-started a purge over the weekend, cleaned out everything in the bathroom that we didn't use/need (old tub toys that weren't being used, set of guest towels that need to be replaced, etc.)</p> <p>I'm in!<br /> I need to make room for J's birthday and Christmas (8 days apart!), I'm always totally overwhelmed with my packed house after the holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1845006 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:17:33 +0000 Mamaof2 1845006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: I think she meant 10 bags in 10 days - so 1 bag a day for 10 days - right? @Mrs. Bee: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1844997 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:13:53 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1844997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! I definitely don't have that many things to get rid of! We are already pretty minimalist over here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/get-rid-of-40-bags-in-40-days#post-1844982 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:01:29 +0000 Nskillet 1844982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 bags a day!?

Anyone up for doing a 10 day challenge with me? You have to get rid of 10 total bags of things (the bag can be big or small). That is one bag a day -- every day for 10 days! </p>
