few bits of broken bird feeders had a sort through all the bits we had
various bits to give people in our music group tonight in boot atm

After a marathon declutter over the last few days I took the pending charity bags to the charity shop. :A My sense of achievement was short lived because while in the shop I bought - a picnic rucsac (with NO straps) & an inflatable guitar - I have no idea why I bought them - it was like a mist came over me. Perhaps it was the excitement of being in a charity shop after trying to avoid them recently. It's an illness really... _pale_ SO:

IN
Useless picnic rucsac
Inflatable guitar (also pretty useless)
new sponge
Cat stickers for DS
2 Jackie Chan DVDs ordered for DS
OUT
2 Bags of stuff to charity shop
magazine to friend
Pending out
Useless picnic rucsac back to charity shop (I can barely look at it - it's become a symbol of my own stupidity)

At least you're learning MsHalffull - is there someone else who could have the sack to the charity shops for you next time so you don't actually have to go in?

Hi

Can I join you please? I have been reading this thread for the past few days and can only say thank you all for getting me motivated to sort my clutter. I don't think that my house is too bad but my DD would not agree with me :rotfl:

My goal is to be clutter-free by the end of June. If any of you think that 6 months is a bit of a soft target I can only say that you haven't seen the state of my garage:eek:

In
Nothing :j

Out
1 parcel Ebay
2 bags paper recycle
1 magazine to a friend

Pending
2 bags clothes for charity shop
1 bag old bras for 'Bras for Africa' appeal
1 bag clothes for dress agency
- all of which I will take into town tomorrow
