Sounds like a shopping trip is in your future!

 No that happened last w/e in FL!  I had 4 pair to pack!  had to shop as soon as I got there!

 That's right.  You take the old ones and use them as disposable.  Then, no having to re-pack dirty underwear!

Do you guys have to wash things before you toss them? Like if a sock gets a hole while wearing it or your undies just won't stay up...

---

 No. That's just weird. 

Oh so everyday I tossed the older undies, felt weird, but liberating. Came home with 10 new pair!

I should clarify I packed 4 old undies and tossed them too!

Okay, I lost track of what we are supposed to be doing this week.

Or, can we just work at our own pace?

I think I should be working on undies and socks this week.

SB, your undies post with your signature just gives me the giggles!

This is quite a dilemma. I took a vacation day from work today.

Do I spend it purging, or go out shopping for more stuff that I'll have to purge later?

 For each thing you buy today, come home and get rid of 2 things.

You drive a hard bargain! Not sure I can do that.

I did just purge about 2 inches thick of paperwork on my desk at home.

So if I count every individual paper in that stack it was 100 things. Ha!

 Paper - both a bane and blessing to my life.  I love, love, love pretty paper.  Mail, bills, and other junk paper just stack up and drive me nuts.

OK just spent hours re organizing my 3 huge rubbermaid tubs of xmas decor. I purged a lot of stuff I just don't use anymore, freeing up on tub for all the village pieces which in turn, cleans stuff out of the garage. I am so loving this purging. Was able to put things into the small storage space I have in the basement of items that had no home too! Even the Halloween stuff is organized. House cleaner comes tomorrow so she can finally clean the entire finished part of the basement. Zero clutter! Happy dance!

My closets are way out of control. I plan to do some purging this weekend while I am on house arrest (on call).

 I have spent my snow days ridding my basement pantry of unnecessary duplicates of small appliances. I have been paid $58 for them.  Next I need to rearrange my pantry to re organize.

I purged a bedroom trunk on Friday. I couldn't believe how much junk I had saved from the kids.  One more trunk to purge, hopefully yet this week. I purged the photo trunk a few weeks ago. Yeah, we have three trunks. Two handmade by my grandfather and one refinished by grandpa when we got married. I treasure all three of those trunks. But, gosh, I sure pack a lot into those trunks! The junk has got to go!

Good job Czech!

You aren't a failure. A slacker maybe, but not a failure.

Thanks, NAOW and IKWTDS!  

I got so much done today. I cleaned out under the bed, the master closet, and the laundry room. Not purging, but other stuff I got done was touch up all the paint throughout the house and I finally got everything put in my curio cabinet. Also, all the laundry. Yay! Tomorrow I hope to get Baby A's closet done. She has about 7 totes of clothes I need to go through.

Just did some light purging. Two bags of stuff for goodwill, a small bag of toys for the dog shelter, small bag of toys for the cat shelter and a little bit to take to the dump.

I went commando today.

 Haven't done laundry yet?

I took a box of toys, a bag of clothes and a Christmas tree to Goodwill! The house feels lighter. More stuff must go.

I cleaned out the sock/panty hose drawer today. I also packed up a bunch of stuff to make a run to the donation center. I want to do more today but really have to focus on the spare bedroom and Dd's room. I had to shovel 2" of a "dusting" of snow off the driveway. I also am washing and putting away all the winter outer clothing. That may be a mistake.

Tomorrow is trash day, so today I'm going to clean out the fridge and freezer. I'm also going to make stock. I know I have some vegetable trimmings, turkey carcasses, etc. in the freezer, so I'm going to simmer it all up and make soup stock.

I purged 3 shelves in the refrigerator - to make space for all the bags of fish for tomorrow's Fish Fry. Does that count?

Heck yeah! We're easy!

 I think that takes the prize for Best Purge Ever.
