    Have done my bit for today. I now have my bedroom sorted! :j
    I found a few more bits for the charity shop, hoovered & dusted. This is how it should be & how I am now determined that it will stay.
    Thanks everyone for the inspiration to get it done. I wouldn't even have got started yet if it hadn't been for posting on here.

    Nat West mag that I picked up today & already read & recyled

    In only food today

    Out managed to find the floor in DS2's room today!!! So all sorts of rubbish from the floor...

    Finally took 3 bags of non clothing stuff to charity shop - that nobody on freecycle wanted :( - think they only want fridges and TV's these days!

    Big bag of clothes went to charity collection yesterday too.

    Getting there slowly :)

    Can't believe no one wanted that on freecycle. All the 'boot sale boxes' go instantly on ours (Hastings)
