The Great Declutter Part 2
Comments

Posted 16 Ebay parcels today, and in doing so also got rid of some of my stash of used jiffy bags and a box. I've got 4 more parcels to post tomorrow, 3 mens jackets and a pair of combat trousers so all quite bulky and will give me a bit of space back.
My lounge looked like a bomb had hit it this morning, when I was getting everything parceled up, had jiffy bags and packaging everywhere, lol, remainder now safely back in the shed until I need them again.Weight loss challenge 2/10lbs

DH's time up in the loft! seems to be paying off and he has re-organised a load of his toy cars! Some are now in display cabinets in our dining room and others have been condensed down to take up less space so a few cardboard boxes have been put into the recycling.
Last week we volunteered out house for hosting a surprise party on 09 Oct (have I said this before???) so need to get new extractor for kitchen and splashback put up (sounds familiar!!) and cardboard packaging into the recycling before next Thurs so we can use the dining room table!
