I've been in a use it up mode this week

We've had 2 lovely dry sunny days here and i've got loads of clothes washed and line dried. It was amazing how many half used washing liquid and Lenor bottles were taking up space under the sink.

Glad to say most of them are now empty and in the recycling box. Going to follow the same idea with the bathroom too.

OUT
1 bag of recycling stuff
black bag of clothes to charity

IN
Not a sausage

Out - bread bin, bag of DD clothes and another bag with bits and pieces, all gone to the charity shop.

2 books sold on ebay so they've been posted and rest are finishing this week so hopefully another black bag of stuff gone.

In - 1 present for my DD birthday.

Feel like death this morning. Shan't be doing anything today, I'm working tonight so won't do anything tomorrow though.
DH fitted all the skirting yesterday and spent the evening hoovering.

Well 2 books went off to greenmetropolis customers yesterday (at last).

I took delivery of an incinerator bin for the garden - am planning a big burnup of garden refuse on Sunday evening with some luck as we have some old bay tree branches that were too hard to go through the shredder.

Got the Council collecting our 3 large items Friday so this will free up some space in the house and garden too.

Also have a large black sack of shredded paperwork for the compost heap.

Am planning to extend the raised vegetable borders by merging 2 x 2 together to become 1 x 2 and filling the gap in between, lowering them to half height in the process and reusing the wood. As a result, hopefully I can empty the compost bins all ready to start filling them again.

Out:
2 paperbacks
1 bag of shredded paperwork
Sofabed (Friday)
Fridge Freezer (Friday)
patio heater (Friday)
Two heaps of branches
Four compost bins of soil

In:
1 garden incinerator

Hi

I'm enjoying this.

Snap! I wish I had thought about listing what I have got rid of before-and the other lists give me ideas of items I can ditch .

In: nothing :T

Out:
- 1 book to Greenmetropolis
- a recycling sack full of DS2's school papers etc
- two old sheets into the charity shop bag (they sell on recycle-able fabric)
- more items for the carboot sale pile

I am still going, but had to take a break from the bedroom's big cupboard - it's hell in there

System

OUT -
1 binbag
the broken room dividers from a dollshouse, i am going to use it as a wee cupboard
broken mobile (cashback recycling thing)
a big pile of fluff from under my bed
