    IN:
    • Yet another outfit for baby Sam (My mum just can't resist!)
    • Cheque which husband owed in expenses

    OUT:
    • Duplicate clothes received as presents for Sam - returned and money will be put in his bank account (will hopefully open one tomorrow) - as he has far too many clothes and toys already!!
    • 1 broken drinking glass
    • 2 tshirts of mine (recycling)
    • Lots of rubbish and general recycling
    • Some more cosmetic/ toiletry stuff used up
    • 1 empty tub of oak wax - finished my bedroom door :D
    To my shame I haven't listed anything on ebay/ in free ads this week, as I said I would - oops....


    Not a lot, really - maybe (hopefully!) the weekend will bring more progress!

    ETA: have just put old pine bed, chest of drawers, swing mirror & 2 bedside cabinets on free ads for local paper (in next Tues) - fingers crossed!!

    Loads of summer bedding plants into their pots, and out onto the various pathways/patios :T

    Both sons & a grandson for a barbeque - the last time we all sat round together was last summer - lovely afternoon :j

    Out

    Two car loads (four dumpy bags) of hedge trimmings to the tip - yaay! A very productive, declutter-the-garden sort of day. More to do tomorrow, while we're on a roll!
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!

    did a table top sale and sold some stuff but seem to have come back with as much as we went with (didn't buy anything i promise).
    think i'm going to offer loads of stuff and freecycle, not sure we can sell the stuff we have at car boots, just seems like the wrong stuff.
