    Out:
    Leaflets from radio times into recycling.


    I always shake these out of the mags in the shop, before I buy the mag; I know I'm never interested in any of the numerous leaflets in there so I'd rather not carry them home to fill up MY recycling bin!
    I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!

    I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!

    am back!! Long chat about various youth work things that we're involved in, so was worthwhile. One last push until 1pm for me, then got to go out for the afternoon. There will have to be chocolate later!!

    I am finding this thread makes me think about what I am doing. When I took tags off my new clothes the other day they went straight into the bin whereas usually I would have put them on my dressing table to clear away later (should say 'never').

    I'm getting even more extreme than that... I put the little bit of plastic that held the tags on into the bedroom bin but take the cardboard tags downstairs and put them straight into the paper recycling bin!! :o

    So...

    Wet washing out x2

    Clear surfaces in front room - coffee table desk, and book shelves.

    cook chicken for dinner
    dishes,
    clear kitchen table
    cool wine
    organise a box for my spices...

    sweep the stairs,
    hoover downstairs,

    finish the next chapter of my OU course book....
    i need to listen to some music that i haven't listened to in a while, so i can do that while i clear surfaces.... then do the write up!!!!

    well done nimbo!! I'm done for the day now - made some progress but have realised I desperately need some decent storage boxes and scrap book stuff. I will continue to sort out tomorrow - promise!

    Result. Sold the 3 bird feeders for £12, so 3 things out our garage and £12 in our savings pot. I'm setting up a new one for everything I sell other than cosmetics for something special! We'd bought them on a special offer for £3.50 each so she got a bargain (they were reduced when we bought them hence buying 3.....), we got our money back and a bit more and space in our garage too!
