Hey quizzzical go for it – way to go on starting!
I did manage to get stuff out – more than 50 – took about 6 big bags to the local rummage place on the week-end. However, sadly that’s not even a dent, but hey at least I’m plugging along. Have loads more boxes on the basement stairs to bring away tomorrow. In the meantime decided to spend today tidying my kitchen and getting rid of the stuff that’s just been sitting on the counters. Funny how things get to be part of the wall paper after a while 
And VERY satisfying to have uncluttered counters, suddenly it looks like a whole new room Almost makes me feel like cooking!
