    Todays 10 things are largely shapeless well worn t-shirts that I have worn under sweatshirts for years - comfy, but not exactly either "classic" or trendy. So, a carrier bag for the rag bin has been filled and I will drop it off on my way to work tomorrow. I also got some free polo shirts when I was working behind the bar with a beer logo on, that I have chucked on with jeans when I am at home, but again in trying to achieve a "capsule wardrobe" they have gone......this time in the charity shop bag.

    I last did the marathon in 1993 at the ripe old age of 22 :eek: I am carrying a little more weight now, and don't have youth on my side any more, but I am sure I can scrape through enough training to do it again!

  • Loving the decluttering idea if you stick to it you will be decluttering 100 items per week so in say 2 mths you will have cleared around 800 items so surely that will have cleared it or at least broke the back of it without too much effort? Bet you are dying to do that chart ;)

    You definately put me to shame sneaking in the Marathon amongst everything else you do :o :A
