    I know! And I've been sooooo good for a good while...:o Will think about returning them. (I should just do it, shouldn't I?)

    OK, I'm taking the 'present' one back. Not as good as it should be, but it's a start. And the ones I bought myself will make me feel really guilty and less likely to buy anything more expensive. (A likely excuse!)

    And as for today:

    In:

    2 presents

    Out:

    Nothing
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Happy face after this weekend's little clear out:
    - ALL my mismatched, odd & warped plastic boxes to the recycling bag. Will have to replace but I shall be able to use them then!
    - bag of bric-a-brac for charity shop
    - junk to bin/ recycling
    So that's one kitchen cupboard & the dresser looking emptier & tidy.

    I also started sorting my summer clothes: 2 garments to the charity shop bag & several dead hangers to the bin. (does anywhere re-cycle old hangers?)
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • am doing quite well this morning - have sorted a kitchen drawer and binned a load of stuff. A good deal of the rest will be rehomed to the garage where it belongs!

    Have rehomed the teatowels into said drawer.

    Have remembered to get lamb chops out of freezer! And am decluttering a well deserved cup of redbush tea whilst doing my menu planning for the rest of the week!

    And it's not nine am yet!

    M&S do, but I'm not sure if that's just their own from in-store. I'm sure I saw soemthing like that in my local Tesco, but check first as I'd hate you to turn up with a big bag and find out that I was just hallucinating.

    the larger Tesco stores have - and every one I've seen is overflowing.

    Have you tried Freecycle/Freegle, i've seen several wanted ads recently. I've suggested to people on there that if they have no luck with their ad, they pop into Tesco. ;)

    Some of the smaller charity shops will take them too. The larger ones use their own branded hangers.
