I haven't posted on here for a couple of weeks, but I've had an *amazing* time of it clearing the garage. I did a couple of hours myself one Saturday, and by the end I had a sackful of rubbish, and could stand upright in the middle. Then a friend took a load of techie rubbish to the recycling tip - there was a pile of that. Then my sister and I spent 4 woman-hours last weekend - empty boxes flattened and recycled, furniture stored in a space saving way, old plasterboard and ends of DIY projects either thrown away or recycled. It was brill - we filled her 5 door hatchback to the brim with stuff to take to the tip, including an old lightstand (and by old I mean about 50 years old ......). Really pleased. There were two binbags full of paper that I'd shredded but forgotten about, and the recycling men collected that yesterday.

In:

New book
3, maybe 4 Christmas presents (undecided as to what to do with 1 of them)
2 beautiful scrap books at a bargainous £3.99 each! (More stuff - nooo!)

Out:

Money - I shouldn't have gone near the shops! I went to buy 1 Christmas present, then went for a look around to suss out some hard-to-find cake moulds that a colleague told me about (even though I don't really need them and can't afford them). I then found those gorgeous scrap books: how do you resist a bargain that good? I'm sure I've seen similar ones retailing for £25+. But I shouldn't have bought them as they are not a necessity. Argh! Bad Pickle!

Someone make me feel better!
