    I'm thinking ebay the things you are'nt too attached too, then freecycle the polystyrene?? - keep the rest. :)

    What a haul.

    ETA we used suitcases for books as well - worked a treat :)

    I don't think there's anything there thats ebay-able, to be honest ...... I'll take the LPs to a local independent record shop, if they don't want them, I'll ask them to take them off my hands for nothing, to put in their 50p file or something..... never thought of the polystyrene, would anybody want it for anything? I can see some cushion covers that can certainly go to a charity shop :)

    I had barley with soya and black eyed beans, with a sauce of gravy seasoning and fruit chutney all mixed up! Sounds dreadful, but it was nice, and I'm using things up.



    They don't unpack for you Squizz!

    Actually, no :o... come to think of it, most of them I've been involved in we had to unpack the boxes/ crates.. they did take them away afterwards though.

    ps have you got a Homebase anywhere nearby? They give away their empty boxes (and plant trays, which aren't so useful for moving house, but handy for, erm plants!)

    Woo hoo, a new blog, how terribly exciting!!

    Have popped over and commented (can't see anyone else's comments - perhaps I've commented in the wrong place???) Should be a thing at the bottom of the post that says '1 comment' - click on that and you should be able to comment yourself :)

    Good luck with the docs, sounds horrid :(

    Thanks Daffs! You've commented in the right place, and thank you for that too - it'll take a while to build up, thats all. I need to start visiting other people and leaving comments, its only fair. Just remembered I haven't put any keywords in the 2nd post, oops, better do that soon.

    Today, I've been focussing already on getting the recycling out, which right now means *lots* of recycling - most of my beautiful SFX magazines - the quality of the paper and the print on the front is lovely, and I'm keeping some, but they became a bit too sarcastic for me, plus the typeface was dreadful - I just don't want most of them any more, and nor does anyone on Amazon or Ebay, so into the recycling they go....

    I won on TAB!!! £65 or so again :o I've withdrawn £60, we'll see if they give it to me - apart from my opening deposit, and one deposit to bring up a recent tiny win to the minimum withdrawal level, I've never deposited on there, they might well just not give it to me. We'll see.

    At the moment, I'm shredding, and I have two more mystery shop emails to print and then do, so I'm doing a bit of juggling. I like juggling :rotfl:

    Good stuff KC! If you don't mind, I'll add you to my little blogroll thing, so everyone that visits mine will see a link to yours? Not that mine has many visitors mind - mostly just my mother! :rotfl:

    Ooh, yes please - will it show me how to link to you in return, or don't I need to do that? I'm a bit of a noob at blogs, sadly....

    I don't think it'll automatically show you (although if you click on my name in my comment in your blog there's a link to mine :)). Will figure out how to do it on mine, then let you know what I did... :)
