In: Shopping, more shopping, some easter gifts and yet more shopping (it's stock-up week)

Out - recycling and very little else, although I have decluttered my finances this week if that counts.

Pending - 4 boxes waiting for a decent tabletop sale, and possibly more to add to the pile. Several boxes still waiting to be unpacked from the move.

Not going to get much done today - have phone calls to make this morning, and a school play this afternoon - but tomorrow is one of my 'no child' mornings where youngest goes to playgroup, so I may get somewhere then.

Shelter were collecting from the locality today so I managed to sort out three sacks of clothes for them which have already been picked up.

I have a mission to go in the loft and fill the recycling bin with cardboard before its collected on Friday!

OUT
- lever arch file that stopped arching.
- convector radiator that died (already got the replacement) and old printer not needed, to go off to the recycling tip.
- 4-5" of A4 recycling
- 3 magazines to go to the magazine swap at the library - and I'm *not* going to pick anything up!
- normal rubbish.
- plastic A4 paper holders that were useless, can't even be used by someone else.... binned. Grrrr.

Oh, plus, I've moved my shredder to the kitchen for a while - the year of accounts papers that I no longer need, plus a load of financial paperwork etc - its taking a long time, but I'm getting there.
