    I'm not doing so well, I started the original thread all that time ago, and I'm not getting very far. However, there are some on here who are now almost minimalistic :rotfl:

    And some who have thrown out so much carp they should be living in a completely empty house by now!!

    My mum, down for the weekend, and a suitcase half-filled with my shopaholic cousin's cast-off's. Kind of irritatingly, they are good white shirts for work, which fit, so I won't be flinging them (especially as I caught myself thinking two weeks ago 'I could do with some decent shirts for work') but there's not a spare hanger in my wardrobe now!

    Out:
    Nowt :(
    Reason for edit? Can spell, can't type!

    I`ve done very well recently with getting rid, but tomorrow I get a VERY big load of "stuff" coming in. My son returns from uni with all his clutter-including lots of dirty laundry probably!
