Lol! No - it was the washing machine - it 'ate' the fabric lunchbag (rather than a box) and a brand new jumper - think it was a bit too full:o

Charity shops can use clothes etc that are in a bad way; bag them up separately marked as RAGS and they can make money on them by their weight.

I have spent the day sorting out the paperwork mountain that had got in such a bad way, we've only just realised we've been driving a car which had been without a current MOT since (whisper) May...

It's sorted now, of course, and we took it off the road the second we realised... but . We're usually pretty organised about paperwork, and have, at least, in principle, a 'system'. Only problem is that earlier this year, the OH was diagnosed with cancer, and, well, other things took priority.

Anyhoo, hopefully after a pretty intensive summer, the worst of that is behind us, and the weather was so vile today, I decided to spend the day at the kitchen table, and sort/fling with gay abandon till it was All Done.

So, here are today's official results



Out:
A mountain of outdated paperwork - insurance details from 2005; tax discs from the car we scrapped last winter etc etc. All into a carrier bag sitting by the woodburner to be used as firelighting kit over the next month


In

A set of reinforced A4+ dividers from WHS

A 'Meal Deal for a tenner' from M&S (thought I'd earnt a treat...)


Back into the dining room:

One, smart, eviscerated and updated paperwork filing folder.

Tomorrow :

attack the longer-term stuff in the sideboard (guarantees; important 'don't lose me' documents etc etc) Or perhaps I'll leave that till next weekend..:p

Spent the other day starting to declutter the hallway. I now have a box for shoes and a box for slippers. The cats bed is under the radiator- (she now won't sleep there.....). We are also having a bag to school collection and I have lots of bedding, towels etc to go there.
DH has now hung my doors between my lounge and dining room so they are no longer cluttering up my hallway. Now we just need to get the kicker boards up in the kitchen. It's looking lovely and empty now in my hallway.
Still a long way to go in the rest of the house though!

:mad:Not logged on here for a while, just popped in to say our neighbours have moved house and while the man was clearing out he kept offering my DH stuff - all of which he accepted! Now we don't just have our own junk but someone else's junk too!!:mad::mad::mad:
