    Not been able to get much decluttering done this week, but will hopefully get going again over Bank Holiday weekend.

    Running top, jacket and trousers donated by my sister as I'm starting my 'run 5K in ten weeks challenge' tomorrow evening... :eek:

    Book and CD bought with Amazon vouchers from doing surveys.

    New jeans for OH.

    A lot of old receipts as I could no longer close the small drawer I keep them in.

    Old diary into recycling (had never been written in!)

    Pending

    Long nightshirt into charity bag - given to me by my Gran, but I don't like nighties - I'm a PJ's girl :)
