    Go for it cyclingyorkie! :T

    Oh I did - I have filled three bags!:beer:

    Old shoes DD2 has outgrown, old school uniform, old LP's (don't tell OH!) old books, a teddy that DS received at a bizarre awards evening, an old fishing rod ( grandad said I've got a mate who can get DS a good fishing rod for Christmas - hence great excitement - what arrived would have looked old in the 1950's! Good thing a mate's dad knew where to get him some proper equipment.;);))

    And a didgery doo :eek:- cos DD1 never mastered the double breathing - you don't need it for the flute or the oboe! And given her current physical condition ( she has ME) trying would be a waste of energy!

    I managed 5/50 things off the paperwork mountain yesterday - yippee! I have several things which are half done because dealing with some paperwork creates another 2 or 3 processes once you start them IYSWIM.

    Will carry on working through the pile today and report back later.

    Haven't been keeping a tally for past couple of days, but have got rid of the following:

    broken basket
    lots of paperwork recycled
    paperwork filed
    paperwork shredded
    falling apart bath bombs binned (just making a mess everywhere!!)
    cardboard boxes recycled (crushed, so hard to reuse :()
    various bottles and jars from garage recycled

    Have about a dozen ebay parcels to go tomorrow/ Thurs - all bar one have bundles/ job lots in, so lots of items going there. Also used up cardboard boxes, jiffy bags, bubble wrap and foam from packaging stash

    Have been sorting leftover business stock in garage (hence some of above) - starting to look tidier and I know what I've got left for selling on ebay. Have also transferred some of the items to present stash under bed where possible ;)
