Right. I'm determined to get something done about my clutter. Tonight.
The plan is to get a large paper bag and a glass of wine (or two) and not to stop until I have the bag full of things for the charity shop.
I have been contemplating whether or not I need a third dinner set and the answer is NO. (And it has been packed away in a corner for months now anyhow...) Same with the spare "spare" guest towels and T-shirts that I wouldn't wear even for a visit to Mr T...meaning I have grown out of them...the diet that never happens...0 -

At work, I obveously have to ask what can go which is understandable but :mad: as there is so much junk here it is rediculous and makes it very hard for the poor worker re me:eek::eek:
