CC2 Speedy Goth Dec 2019 9:16pm, 8 Dec 2019 4,072 posts	Quote Pin CC2 Speedy Goth Day 8 - 1 unopened 2019 wall calendar, 2 brochures for the European Masters Champs that I didn't do in 2019, 1 old Athletics Weekly that I held on to for no known reason, ditto one old copy of the local magazine, three out of date sports nutrition products. I also binned yet another pair of socks having put my toe through the anatomical right foot one again. But that doesn't count. I didn't hoard them like the others!

WA Dec 2019 7:06pm, 9 Dec 2019 6,377 posts	Quote Pin WA I'm donating a box of used stamps to a local charity. Is this 1 item (a box) or a multitude (the stamps). I'm tempted to count it as 1 as decluttering should create space. I need to count up what's gone overall. I'm nowhere near target but am making small and consistent differences.
