The Great Declutter Part 2
Comments
-
Hi All - haven't posted for a while - really struggled through a lot of last week as had headaches for best part of 4 days (allergies & PMT combined :eek:) - thankfully a lot brighter this week and have been catching up with all things I should have been doing while I was ill. I really do miss the routine of posting - keeps me motivated.
So - what I can remember of the past week -
IN
Really nice picture frame found in skip - even glass was in tact- already put to use
Study book for DS
BNIB past times bracelet - CS - to gift stash
BNIB metal bookmark - CS
Vegetable peeler
Cat toy
OUT
broken & rusty go cart
broken & rusty metal deck-chairs
legs of broken garden table
I was so pleased to see the go-cart & deckchairs go - there's not too much left at the end of the garden now - mind you I'll be lucky if I can get there soon as I've not been able to mow the grass because of my allergies.Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
