Mid Day Break- Glad I Don`t Hoard That Anymore.

Busy little bee. I finally got this office organized, supplies separated, paperwork put away and vacuumed. The dining room de-cluttered ( that means I cleaned off the table:) and vacuumed, ready to be dusted. The living room took the longest but its cleaned! Vacuumed and dusted. I put clothes away and made my bed, I will do vacuuming and dusting in that room next. I have most of the recyclables ready at the back door. One hoard I am so proud to have gotten rid of is the books, as much as I love them they are hoarding! Read it and let it go. I only keep cook books and reference books. How is your day going?

I hadn't thought about keeping books as hoarding. You've just spoilt my day - and it's only just started!!!

@andriaperry actually it was bedtime when I responded. I did not respond to the point of this discussion, which is to not hoard books. I have tried and I have gotten rid of a lot of books in the last five years or so, but people keep buying more. I promise, it is not me.

@GardenGerty I told my sister to plain out stop! I also told her I do not want or need x-mas or birthday gifts.

I need to get back in the habit of reading so I can get rid of some more. I am thinking about selling my King, Koontz, and Cooke collections just to have more free space on the shelves.

Today I started to check on the freeze to de-clutter it. I discovered 2 pork chops and that was the end of the job for the moment.

I am guilty of book hoarding. I have a hard time letting them go, unless I really don't like them. Even then I have a hard time parting with books I hate if they were given to me as gifts. So I hold onto them even though I know I will never read them again.

Today is a lazy day for me. I cannot do anything because it keeps on raining. I can't do the laundry. Or clean the house and do online selling.

Impressive cleaning day for you! I love collecting children's books (not just for my kids) - I can get them used too cheaply so yes I still hoard them . We're playing it lazy today . . . it's hot outside!

It feels good when you rid yourself of things that aren't in use doesn't it? I don't even have a lot of cookbooks, I have a lot of recipes on my computer now.

The better half of my day was spent arguing with customer service departments explained in the post I am putting up a bit later and then due to rain I spent the day by the PC.

I don’t understand hoarding. I throw away anything I don’t really use that has no value to me.
