Mary, I loved your post. I laughed ("with", not "at") about the receipts and clothes, cuz I been there. I guess, if you can't return em, you can add them to your charitable donation cart.
In August, at the start of the new school year, at my NEW job, I made myself locate some clothes I had bought a long time ago that needed alterations (hems on slacks, etc.). I managed to dig them up, and actually managed to get them to the seamstress. Funny thing was, a couple of the items had needed alterations because they were too big on me, but I had gained so much weight in the 2 yrs since buying them, they didn't need those alterations anymore, just the hemming.
I have tended to want to hold onto receipts, bank slips, etc. AS IF I were going to sit down and record them all and balance my checkbook. HAH! Once upon a time, I kept an accurate running balance, and even checked it against my monthly statement. I cannot remember the last time I did that.
For you it was the dining room. For me, the whole place is full of junk, but I hadn't ventured into the kitchen for almost a year, exept to sidle into the edge, near the door, just to access the fridge and microwave. Haven't used the sink or stove in a year.
I'll be rootin for ya. Actually 45 minutes a day is ambitious. Good luck.
