Going well here, kitchen almost finished, dining room just has a few kitchen bits in it left to sort.

Left a bid on a leather settee at the auction last night, so if I get that, the conservatory will need an urgent declutter :eek:

Went into Matalan and they had a set of three wicker storage boxes half price (£15), so they will be used to store my wool and embroidery silks :T

Scooter donated to neighbour's granddaughter
Old car battery to the tip
12 black bin bags to the tip
3 recycling bags of paper
1 bag of clothes to Sally Army
Use of the tumble drier - washing on the line and dried in the sun :j


This is addictive - I even sorted my desk at work yesterday and there is now space in my drawers :eek:

Have a good weekend

-torch and batteries -road map
-umbrella -spare coat
-tissues -2 pedal bin liners for rubbish
-cds in holder -car instruction manual and emergency numbers

If anyone can think of anything else I might need??

first aid kit, chocolate for winter emergencies and if you live anywhere near me, a shovel and a couple of old towels (to go under the wheels when you get stuck in the snow). Some of the posters on the Preparing for Winter thread bought the metallic blankets to keep in the car.

Well my big declutter is well under way. Just wish we could get rid of all the rubbish we have, our downstairs loo has three big bin liners of rubbish in. Wheelie bin only gets collected once a fortnight now and still waiting for our green bin even though I asked for it over 3 months ago :rolleyes:

IN:
New hamster cage (second hand shop, it's huge and only cost £8!)

OUT:
Most of the stuff I put on freecycle has been collected this weekend :T
Lots of boxes of old Avon brochures were collected by a fellow Avon rep.

I've got more stuff to put on freecycle and i've got to take two bags of clothes to the charity shop. Nearly sorted all my Avon returns and they should be collected in a week or so. Can't wait to have my house sorted!
