The Great Declutter - 18 months on
Comments

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

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!

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.
