    Done another load of washing. Finished and binned the bottle of gel.

    All pending out (going tomorrow);

    To bin: A bag of rubbish including an old work blazer.
    To friend in morning: Entire load of shopping I did yesterday from Primark and New Look and a bag of groceries including a bottle of Baileys, the rest of the bread I got the other day and 2 pint glasses.
    To friend in evening: Another large bag of stuff.
    Will also finish my pint of milk in the morning and bin the bottle.

    50-51 Bags of junk

    Got two weeks off so determined to get going Monday onwards.


    Love the idea of the £2 coin fund for a campervan. I have a terramundi that has been going since Christmas 08. Only £2 coins go in. It's about 3/4 full I think. It was going to be for a holiday but as it gets fuller and fuller I keep thinking that something else would be better to spend it on.

    As we are merging two houses at the moment before our wedding, decluttering as we go and have a stash ready for a car boot in the summer. Money raised will be going towards something for the house (going into the DIY or furniture fund). OH has a LOT of old clothes that he has asked me to tkae care of. Car bootie here we come!!!! Stuff not sold going to charity shop.

    Although all my boxes are unpacked, feel like no sooner I get 1 area sprted, it returns to "muddled stuff" quite quickly!!!:eek: :rotfl:
