Not been on for a while, as I will admit I'd slipped - but I'm back with a vengenance now.

Out (in the last week) -

Sold in the paper - Big (unused) wardrobe, small fishtank, large CD cabinet, a couple of bags of clothes, toys etc - made £210 for the holiday fund and cleared some much needed space in the garage.
To freecycle/charity - three bean bags, three black sacks of clothes, and about 8 carriers of assorted household 'stuff'.
To the tip (who sell things) - 3 spare tackle boxes (not good enough to sell ourselves), some large soft toys, and a couple of tatty toolboxes that have been sat empty for ages 'just in case'.
To the tip (to dump) - a sack of old holey blankets/sheets to the rag bank, and a large boot full of assorted junk that's no use to anyone.

In - a mug and two pint glasses (from tip).

I like that out:in ratio

Daughter back from trip and loads of washing!

OUT

2 Ebay parcels
Kitchen Rubbish & recycling

Sagaris

Ooo can I join in please? Had a day off work today and decided to attack the kitchen cupboards!

Out - 2 binbags of tat! All to go to the tip tomorrow (they recycle things there too). Also a bag of assorted rubbish too big for the dustment to take.

In - nothing!

I feel quite encouraged now - I'll try and do a bit more tomorrow and post when I have something worthwhile to report! The 'stuff' has accumulated slowly but surely, without me keeping on top of it - so now it's time to act!
