I didn't know that, I thought they only took decent clothes, oh well the binmen came this morning so it's on it's way to landfill now

Yes, DS2 thought it was really funny, he said he had to go and show his Dad! I was only telling him the day before that they were getting too old and holey, but he said they were really comfy ~ aged 4-5 and he's 8!! :eek::rotfl:

Not to worry purple, maybe something to check with your local charity shop when you're there, that they collect material/torn clothing like this. I'd probably label any bag - material scraps/ragman - to avoid them sorting it unnecessarily. The fact that they were well used and loved outweighs the landfill aspect now. :A

My de-cluttering this week has been mainly following through on my Marathon declutter last weekend & trying not to bring clutter into the house. Update for the week: OUT
Batteries to Boots for recycling (thanks Mineallmine - I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for you)

Camelot1001 - Your post made me think of the famous William Morris quotation -
If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

MsH, that's great, batteries off to recycling rather than landfill. :A

Not much out today, unless you count weeds and grass cuttings! Did put out a wrist support for computer mouse - we only have laptops now. Gone in CS bag.

I expect you all know this but my local Aldi has a recycling bucket at the packing shelf for batteries.

did a bit of in and out in the garden over the weekend, and some in indoors with a trip to hobbycraft I was very good and quite a bit of what we bought was really useful boxes which will help with storage!

We've sorted the freezer, thrown a few bits out and made a list so we know what is there for next time.
