    Not much report;

    Cleared all glass jars and bottles to recycling bin. Not sure how money saving this exercise was as had to make a special journey, but did my bit.

    Hope to declutter more this week from the house rather than the garage.

    Just a quick update, the bedroom swap is complete and DS's room looks lovely. DD's is still a work in progress but she has recycled a pile of magazines, and a bag of rubbish has gone in the wheelie bin. Still loads to do but as she has an exam tomorrow it is on hold. I am hopeful that loads more will go.

    Next room is our bedroom.

    :) Bit lame today as I have been doing other things (mainly lying on the sofa), admittedly, as am very weary today.

    41. A facepack - used this afternoon.
    42. About 30 packets of flowerseed from the stores, emptied into a jam jar and ready to be sown. Packets recycled.
    43. 2 margarine tubs - binned.
    44. A shoebox flattened for the recycling.
    45. A boiled-egg p r i c ker to c.s.

    45/100 in May.

    Keep up the excellent work, peeps.
    Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

    You're all doing very well. Unfortunately, times have reversed for me. I've been working too much and not had a chance to throw anything away and DH appears to be trying to get the whole town centre into our house. I actually can't be bothered so I'm now just piling it all in front of everyone's place at the table. They can sort it out themselves.

    Aww Kaz2904 you sound awfully down, take heart you have done an amazing job
