    Ok - not going well here :-(

    I did do lots of cooking on my day off so freezer nice and full and cupboards less so!

    Did take a load of ink cartridges that I'd accuired through work to the post office to send off for places for recycling which is good.

    Also creating a nice pile of clothes for the charity shop. Hoping to fill a bag and take it in on Saturday - need to get OH to go through his stuff too!

    We haven't bought a huge amount of stuff into the house this year - but stuff isn't very tidy/storage isn't at it's best so I think we need to crack this as we've been in the house 3 years now - hopefully this will help.
