    I am spending today and tomorrow at home decluttering; so I'll keep updating this thread as appropriate.

    Pending out (when bag is full) to charity: 1 canvas tote bag, 1 T shirt, 1 pair of trackie bottoms.

    Out: 2 bags of rubbish including an appallingly stained old pair of trackie bottoms.

    In: Some Open University bits through the mail.

    Out tomorrow to CEX: 1 CD, 1 DVD and 1 boxset so I'll be getting some nominal amount of money.
  • Decluttering with a vengeance again - Christmas always makes me panic as you can't get near the dining table :eek:
