    nothing

    out

    1/2 wheelie bin of tat that wont recycle or freecycle or charity shop
    1 bag to the charity shop
    table in kitchen almost cleared ready to freecycle - it never once has been used just is a resting place for rubbish!... might clean it and ebay it

    ajmoney its easiest to just rid it from your house as soon as you can...bin tip freecycle sell or charity even back to its rightful owners as long as its gone you cant just move it

    sometimes i try to find a proper home in my own house for things i want

    so it can be put away where it belongs and it has somewhere to go
