In: 10L paint for dining room. Rollers & paint trays.
My lovely lovely totally impractical (but did I mention they are lovely!) Kurt Geiger shoes.
Out: Need to return the paint as it is carp. 4 coats later and it's still patchy.
They'd better take it back.

Pink Tubtrug to put recycling in

Great big bag of stuff for the next charity bag that comes through the door. So not officially 'out', but halfway there!

I bought some very lovely KG shoes for a wedding and seriously, I could only wear them for about ten minutes. It wasn't that they were sky high (though they were about four inches, which is stupidly high enough anyway) but they were weirdly made so that they tipped your foot forward, so you couldn't stand up straight. I was not impressed as they were £95 and now they sit in my wardrobe rebuking me. MIght well be an eBay moment coming up.... :T

Out: rubbish, and a massive pile of stuff for the charity shop - or at least there would be, if someone would just put a bag through my door. WHy has there been nothing for weeks - usually I have nothing to give nad now I'm overflowing with stuff there's not a bag in sight. Bus syndrome, I suppose....
