thanks PrettyPaula! I will definitely try that.

I must emphasise that I try hard very hard not to send ANYTHING to landfill - there was no way that landfill was an option for my carrierbagful of chargers, I should have made that clearer in my post! We try to keep our rubbish to less than a carrier bag a week, so if anyone from my council is on here, a tax rebate is always most welcome :rotfl:

Out - a bag of kids coat-hangers - shhhhhhhh. Mr S has a thing about not throwing any coat-hangers away. Last year I found a huge bag of hangers that said 18-24 months on them, so too small to fit our kids clothes as our youngest is 6 years! I put them in the recycling bin at the Tesco Extra store as it's the only place I know that takes them.

Also had a sort out of xmas cards.:eek::eek: I had envelopes without cards, cards without envelopes, special cards I'd bought and not sent, written out cards I'd not delivered.:eek: cards and envelopes now matched up, the spare cardsto be cut for gift tags, the spare envelopes put into general usage. The special cards never written out all sorted and I only need to buy 3 special ones this year.:T and I decided to open the written out cards undelivered just in case there was a howler on there, like someone's now ex's name or a child's name omitted and it was just as well I did

In - few more xmas pressies and some wrapping paper.

I'm working long night shifts at the moment and not getting any time to really declutter; I am sleeping all day, but on my next day off, or day with a shorter night shift, I am determined to make some real headway as I keep tripping over things on my floor even though my bedroom's massive.
