    1. Various odd socks - rag bag
    2. Rubber gloves with holes in - bin
    3. Old drinks bottle - bin (have 2 new ones)
    4. Magazines and newspapers out of lounge - recycling bin
    5. Gardening gloves with holes in - rag bag.

    Have a good afternoon everyone, off to find my next 5 clutter items!

    Out today, 11 rubble sacks full of rubble (Mil loaded her car too!). All the plasterboard offcuts. Wood offcuts. 1/2 our bedroom carpet (the other 1/2 is still down). Carpet grippers from the stairs and landing. Bin bag full of grass clippings (I mowed the lawn :D).
    Have cleared my patio enough to upend another bucket of carp onto it to drain all the rain water off. When it's dried out enough, I shall sort it and get rid. I've still got a few buckets full of stones etc in the garden they will all be dried out on the patio too. Everything out there is to be dried, sorted, bagged and put in my hallway until it can go. At least that way it stays dry so that when I have a free day I can just shove it in the car and take it to the tip.
    I may try for another tip run on Friday. I hope I'll get away with it by then. I've still got at least 9 rubble sacks to go.
    I've also burned loads of wood 1.5 rubble sacks worth. I still have 1 to go.
    I've achieved loads today and the house looks and feels much better for it. This is me :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Sorted out the cupboard under the sink and got rid of:-

    Pack of glass wipes which had dried out and 4 old sponges (binned), 2 old air fresheners binned and new ones put out, old cat collar binned and new one put on cat, also found an identity tag in the cupboard so put that on the collar, packaging for both binned and recycled, and I found a bag for a vacuum cleaner that I don't have any more so put that in the charity box. So that's another 10 items to add to the 9 items from earlier.

    Also put some things where they belong: 3 paintbrushes, some sandpaper, 4 tester paint pots and 2 pairs of secateurs back in the shed, bathroom cleaner in the bathroom, and nail polish remover in bedroom.

    Pending: Got another sale on Ebay, so will post that either tomorrow or Thursday, and birthday cards for my niece (to post tomorrow) and my friend (to give on Thursday).
