We have been so busy around her de-cluttering and getting ready for company that will be visiting soon(in only a few short days now), that I have been remiss in reporting my Lighten the Load Challenge 2009 updates over here. I have been pretty consistent with posting progress on the Lighten the Load Facebook Group Discussion Board, but time has been in too short supply around here for posting any place else.
This past week:
350 Units Debt Reduction
65 Units of Junk out the door in one fashion or another
2 Units of personal weight loss
And one more celebration!!! I now have new bathroom flooring! My kitchen flooring still looks like something you would find in an abandoned house, but hopefully soon this too will be replaced. I am so tired of the boxes of flooring taking up room in the dining room. It was become such a fixture in the dining room that stuff is now sitting on top of the stack…NOT a good sign!
We are still looking for others to join in on our challenge, if even for a short while. The Facebook group is growing slowly. Come along…invite your friends…let’s make it a party!

Suzanne, the eBay Selling Coach, is giving away a $25 Shell Card on her blog….eBay Selling Coach! When you stop by and leave a comment for your entry, would you please let her know that I sent you?
She has several opporunities posted for additional entries. OH…and if you are an eBay seller…you have to peruse the site. Suzanne offers so many wonderful ideas for making your business grow!
This past week has been the most exhausting in a long while. Being sick and trying to keep up with everything has been near impossible. It doesn’t help that Hais is coming around with what appears to be a secondary infection/illness and DH is still not quite up to snuff with the cough that followed his illness.
The Lighten the Load Challenge was definitely NOT in the forefront of my efforts this past week. Having said that, I am embarrassed to post my tiny bit of progress at only 25 UNITS.
eBay– 20 UNITS
trash/junk –5 UNITS
I didn’t even take my earnings to pay on debt, but hopefully this next week will show at least a bit more progress. Maybe-Maybe not. It is Wednesday and it is still an effort to concentrate to even write this entry…so we shall see, right?
CindyDianne reported a success of 121 UNITS with Craigslist and donations this week over on the Facebook Group. A big woohoo to her!
Good luck, and happy lessening to all, on your Lighten the Load Challenge!
Just found the most wonderful place to secure assistance with appraisals and suggestions for some of my vintage and antique items. Auction Wally hosts What’s it Worth and offers online appraisals for only $9.95. How exciting!
I have a few pieces that I would like to have appraised and even more pieces that I might need some identification. A person could spend hours and hours, as I have, trying to figure out what an item might be worth….OR for less than 10 buckaroos have Wally get you an estimate back in only 3 days. Oh! And guess what? He offers a money-back guarantee!
That’s worthy of a double WoooHoooo! WhooHoooo!
