Well, a little over 2 months since my last post , and I've finally finished that garage clearout I mentioned, and took in the kitchen cupboards and living room bookcases at the same time :j

Loads to the tip, some to the charity shop, a nice little chunk sold through the paper, and now I have 8 collapsable crates full of carboot stuff ready for the weekend, and another 5 of old clothes that will either go to the local dress agency or be bundled up for the paper. It always amazes me how much I can find every time I do a clearout

Of course, as always, the nice gap in the garage has already been filled, as we were gifted a nice big chest freezer from freecycle - but at least that's useful, rather than the stuff that was there before.

Now my sights are on the kids rooms - I need some toys to balance my carboot stock and they need some space for Christmas :eek:
