Daily Discard

The Daily Discard is about throwing stuff out. It’s a spiritual quest to simplify life. Each day I find something around the house which is no longer needed, doesn’t work any more, has outlived its purpose or is just plain junk. Then I throw it away or give it away.

Table centrepiece candle holder

Went out to dinner Chris' work awards on Saturday. It was a grand affair - 1200 people at the Crown palladium ballroom.

On each table there was a centrepiece - 40cm tall with a large candle inside. A bit hard to describe and I didn't get a photo. Each person at each table at the dinner was given a number. They drew a number and the person on each table with number 7 got to keep the centrepiece. I WON IT!
So, rather than lugging it home, then throwing it out, I left it there.

Chris says this doesn't count for throwing something out. But I just think I cut out the middle man by throwing it out immediately. Before starting this daily discard thing, I would have taken it home, left it hanging around until the next time we moved house, then thrown it out.
