Birthday pressie for my mate
Birthday card and birthday card planner as I have stripped it of all its cards and never used it as a planner – seems a shame but its cleared a space

Going to work soon, and the following items are going with me and not coming back: Magazine, packet of biscuits, 2 cans of cola, pair of pants (I'm working overnight, then off out for the day when I come off night shift, so after my morning shower at work, I'll bin today's manky pants which were on the way out anyway and change into the nice ones I'll be keeping!!

I don't think I've posted here since I did my huge purge a few months ago and freecycled loads and loads of stuff. I'm really glad I did that because I moved house unexpectedly and it was great knowing that I wasn't taking a load of tat with me.

The one thing I didnt purge was the christmas decorations boxes. And I'm glad I didnt as I have room for a christmas tree in my new place, will be getting a real one I think for this year. I'll declutter the decorations before I pack them away in january.

I always used to declutter the kids toys before christmas knowing that they would get loads of new ones for christmas
