The dogs smelly old blanket (will give him an old one from cupboard to replace it)
Do you want one of ours? They're in that small material mountain by the back door - yessssss - airing cupboard's done, and excess, exhausted sheets, towels and a blanket from our old dog basket are all there ready to go out tomorrow - various homes promised, depending on the level of how worn out they are!
Embarrassingly, the dog's been dead for 14 years - though the blanket is a nice one, I'm not altogether sure what I was holding on to it for - I've never found another use for it!Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!0 -
Thanx 4 the offer mandragora, but I 2 have an equally large surplus of old sheets/blankets etc! :rotfl:
It's pushed me on to clear out though and luckily my kids primary is having a bag to school collection!
The school gets paid £200 per tonne of clothes, so i'll be donating it all to that, coz we walk to school it'll save on fuel driving it to the charity shop.:T"There's a little witch in all of us"🔮🪬🧿DEBT FREE 06/2018Mrs SD’s Decluttering 2025 ⭐️ 🥇🥇0 -
