    Morning everyone. Not been around for a while but have been slowly decluttering. Been ebaying and carbooting as well as recycling and binning so have been making a bit of cash at the same time! You all seem to be doing so well - keep it up!!

    Over the last few days I've only managed to get rid of one thing - a quarter bottle of slightly out of date Ribena to a friend!

    So the General total is now up to 55 and Paperwork still at 44.

    I am planning to get stuck in on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday so hope to post a good increase in totals over those days.
