    Out

    A binbag of rubbish
    the leaves from my privet.. it looks like a leaky wigwam at the moment I hope it grows leaves quickly !!

    The 2 bikes, 1 pram, loads of wood, old french doors and loads of rubbish from the front garden.. uncle coming tomorrow to remove the remaining rubbish, the dead double bed and mattress and the dead cooker. Oh, there is a table going out once 'i have had some sleep and recovered a brain cell or 3 in order to be able to make a decision on what I am doing. I have 1.5 binbags to go to charity shop again too... And I have to sort some stuff of the childrens to go live at their dads so they don't have to trail clothes back and forth every time they go.

    ebay going naff, though I have sorted some shoes of the childrens and a coat or 3 to list once I've got them pic'd.

    I must have space!!

    Right...going to attempt to summarise what we've managed to get rid of....but have got rid of loads, so will probably miss some:rolleyes:

    IN

    Boxes for packing (about 12 of them so far...)

    OUT
    • Ebay sale - safety gate:j(got £60!!)
    • 2 bags to charity collection
    • a HUGE pile of stuff today from the loft - local council does these 'special rubbish collections' every few years where they'll take almost anything you leave out! Got rid of tonnes!! Including - broken car seat, broken kids toys, old potty:rotfl:, swing frame (which we found in the loft...wasn't ours), punctured paddling pool, broken umberella etc etc. Also put out some weights (finally....DH has been saying for 12 years that he's going to start using them again:rolleyes:) and an old CD/radio - both were picked up by people who were driving round to see what was available...fair play to them!!
    • Loads of paperwork ...taken to work to shred (I tend to burn out shredders:o)
    • Loads of bits of wood/MDF type stuff left over from when our kitchen was done (3-4 years ago!)
    PENDING
    • 1 pushchair & 1 car seat to be collected by Freecycler tomorrow!
    • 1 bag charity stuff (at least) for collection on Thursday
    • 1 highchair, 1 travel cot, sheets etc, some baby toys...to my SIL for her Grandson when he visits from Ireland:A
    The amazing thing is...although we've got rid of loads...you can't really tell !!!! Can't wait until it begins to actually look less cluttered. Have got so much to do before we move....don't want to take junk with me!!!!
