Right now I am waiting on the book people to come and pick up my boxes of books, so I am with you on the "get rid of everything" train. In America we have a list called "freecycle", I don't know if Canada has the equivalent. Basically you just list the stuff you want to get rid of, then people email you and you decide who gets it. I have gotten rid of a greasy nasty old frylator, a little tykes log cabin (I have an 11 and 17 year old, LOL) and a little tykes slide, and also a bunch of dog food my dog wouldn't eat. I am slowly chipping away at the crap. It is a good feeling.
