A hanging basket made up so that's put a few things that were lying around/on the windowsill together and hopefully it'll cheer up the front of the house soon.

a bin bag of clothes I'm never going to wear again for the charity shop (well, nearly out, sitting on the shelf by the back door ready for Friday's town trip!)
not quite such a big bin bag, but a bag nevertheless of junk from son no. 2's bedroom, which I bravely tackled today. He's back from uni in a couple of weeks, so it needed 'bottoming' before the next onslaught - the summers holidays are long and the room is not a tardis....
*Right. Off to tackle the airing cupboard now.... wish me luck!!!Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!0 -
Today I found out that my local household tip take garden waste. And I've got a friend giving me a lift there on Sunday with a load of electronic tut. Guess what else is going in the van now! I'm dead chuffed.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

new dressing gown, pjs, skirt and 5 pairs of pants from Sainsburys (it was 25% off clothes and all but the skirt was on my things I need list).

Just started my great de-clutter at the weekend so thought I would start posting on here to keep me motivated. The reason for the de-clutter is basically a big spring clean. Its amazing how all this stuff just seems to build up.
So here it goes – so far this week
Out
Six bags of books/clothes to the charity shop
Two bin liners full of rubbish/recycling
A pile of stuff to take to the tip at the weekend
In
Nothing
Early days but lots more to sort out.0
