Friday's declutter: I took the dead flowers out - didn't get to it on Thursday. I did recycle a paper plate on Thursday. I also recycled a paper candy bar wrapper on Friday.
Results: Got two paydays Friday and deposited them! I paid one bill and looked over the rest to see about paying them and putting some money in my savings account to go toward my tax bill! I'll be getting more money next week so I'm in goooood shape!

Wednesday/Thursday
Wednesday was a slammin' busy day. It's been that kind of week, actually. I recycled some stuff, I think maybe a couple of puzzle pages, and a box - no, that was Tuesday, two boxes actually. Anyway, it was some paper something that got recycled. I think I washed two plates and three glasses in the morning too, just so I'd have something to eat on later!
Thursday (today), I recycled another puzzle page and filed a bill. And I'm taking dead flowers out to the dirt lot next door. I also did most of the dishes. And for cleaning, I did laundry.
Results: Yesterday I had to run an errand for work, and got a couple drinks and cab fare bought for me in return! I also went out with a friend from my old job, and he bought me dinner. We caught each other up on our news.
I also got paid, so after tomorrow all my bills will be paid :) I love it when money flows easily!
This weekend is the 2nd Annual North American Declutter! Join in - have a yard sale, stoop sale, donate some clothes or books to a local charity or your library. Declutter something with us, and post it on the site!

Monday/Tuesday
Ha! I'm decluttering early today :)
Monday: I paid a bill and recycled the envelope and return envelope (I pay online). Also recycled two additional envelopes. One of these days I'm going to have to switch to paperless billing to avoid getting the envelopes at all, but I really like my paper copies.
Tuesday: I opened a piece of mail and recycled the envelope and insert.
Results: OMG, last night when I paid my MC bill, I noticed my VISA minimum payment had decreased. I was mystified as to how this could happen, so I called Citibank. The wonderful rep I spoke to, David, was puzzled at first also. Then I hit upon the answer and he verified it: I had gone over my credit limit and made a payment to get me back under. The minimum payment on my statement included the amount I was over the limit. When I got back under the limit, Citi took that amount OFF my minimum! Who knew? I told David he made my day, and he said actually that my making that payment made my day! He said I was the first person he'd ever known of to call and verify that my minimum payment went down, much less ask why! He was a delight to talk with, and I hope he has nice bosses and a decent paycheck cuz you don't get fun reps every day!
But anyway, I'm a freaking money magnet! I have bills due this weekend, and the whole universe appears to be conspiring to help me pay them on time, when only Sunday I was calculating how much I needed to do it! That minimum payment reduction along with the second rent check (which was earlier than it's been in MONTHS) puts me in the clear. So, THANKS UNIVERSE!
