    Chinese dinner set OH brought back from his Mum's house (several tiny bowls and chopstick rests etc - need to rearrange the kitchen cupboards, so I can have one shelf just for baking stuff, so will try and find a place for the set when I do this)

    Out


    OH's old holey slippers
    A small bag of ancient packing materials recycled
    Half a cardboard box recycled !? (found with the packing materials)
    Ebay parcel - got rid of another box from the spare room to send it in!

    Pending Out

    Top added to charity bag
    Pair of sunglasses added to bag of stuff for Mum to try on - should see her tomorrow to give her this

    Also managed to recycle or file the majority of paperwork that was lurking on the computer desk yesterday.

    Probably won't be able to get anything done this weekend as helping parents move house on Saturday and will be moving stuff out of the living room into the spare room to get ready for decorating, on Sunday.
