I''ve been signed off for a week but with my dodgy back it's hard to get much done. However, 2 books from my old job returned (a year later!!), a bag of general junk removed from DS's room. 35 assorted items put in a box and boot of car for charity shop. A horse rug given to my Sister and a couple of novel's let to her too... :-) Sold a couple of cookery books on Amazon too. Admittedly I've about 10,000 unnecessary items in this house so finding 100 isn't going to be too hard!!

Just trying to motivate myself to list some stuff on Ebay and make some money!!

Was out most of today, took grandson up to see my mum and dad, and as usual, we came home with more stuff than we took! Luckily I had a bit of a sort out of box files this evening and found loads of paper to shred. Also cleared out the sideboard and found today's 10 items.

IN:
1. 3 tins leftover paint for our decorating
2. 1 grapefruit
3. 1/2 cucumber
4. 2 pieces bread pudding
5. Bag with baby stuff in it that I forgot to give to my daughter
6. Some Celebrations chocs that mum & dad gave me that I had to share with
my daughter.
7. £6 that my daughter owed me (wonders will never cease!)

OUT:
1. Dish that had previous bread pudding in back to mum
2. Loads of papers that need shredding (will do this tomorrow)
3. Boxes of expired diabetes testing strips and lances
4. Teapot and milk jug (in bottom of sideboard, no idea where it came from!)
5. Floating candle kit I bought from Ideal World about 5 years ago and have
never used
6. Pub Quiz game
7. 3 perfume oils for oil burners
8. A wooden trinket box
9. 2 wooden wall plaques
10.A pair of cheap sunglasses
11.A small square gift box

All this with the exception of the diabetes stuff, mum's dish and the papers, will be off to the charity shop as soon as I can get there.

Decided to try and make a day of it today and start a bit of spring cleaning alongside - I feel quite motivated and am sick of starting a room only for it to end up back to square one as the rest of the house leaks back into it

it's so demotivating... I really fancy trying to do the whole house in one day - is this possible do you think?

Another four boxes priced up and out today. Sorted lots of paperwork into the recycling bin, poor man almost had a hernia lifting it this morning

Working today, got the grandchildren tomorrow and working again Friday, so nothing much happening over the next few days.

Didn't go to the auction on Saturday, which is just as well as there were 11,000 greetings cards there and I know I would have bought them :eek:
