Not done much decluttering since the start of the holiday, but I'm starting again this weekend.
The very big wardrobe that's been blocking half the garage has finally been sold and collected, so I can get in there and sort stuff now. I know there are a couple of boxes of old kids clothes to stick in the paper, and twice that of toys, and Monday evening is my cutoff for this weeks paper, so I need to get organised.
Hopefully this time next week I'll be able to post a great long list of 'Out's, but for now all I can report is no 'In's other than food shopping and school uniform.DFW Nerd no. 884 - Proud to [strike]be dealing with[/strike] have dealt with my debts0 -
