No, stick them under the tap and wet them again - that's what I always do when they dry out.
Can't throw anything out...

2024 - happy, healthy, quality over quantity, buy nothing new (and 2nd hand only if NEEDED), mindful spending, nurturing myself and family, living for now.
Mortgage @ 31/12/23 £248k - too high, interest rate gone up - want this down asap!
Debt @ 31/12/23 £16k - no interest - will clear over 5 years hopefully.
Emergency savings £4k - been ransacked over last year - needs attention :-(0 -
Tidied dining room today [not quite the same as decluttering!] and yesterday sorted out a few things:
Out -
*Burned loads more cardboard/papery rubbish when lighting fire
*Some spare old material got transformed into inner bags to hold beans for 2 beanbags [MIL bought us some last year, but the beans were not in a lining bag and kept leaking and escaping, so they got put in the shed til I fixed them up]

*Two beanbags from the shed, now fixed!''A moment's thinking is an hour in words.'' -Thomas Hood0 -

Good luck de cluttering everyone! I have to say this is one of my all time fave hobbies with cleaning. haha I am very good at de cluttering (if I say so myself) I used to love tidying and sorting with my mum when younger, and its carried on from there. I mostly give stuff to charity shops, sell in car boot or on ebay.

Not a bad start!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
My flat is already quite tidy but I don't have a lot of storage space so it does get messy quickly. My aims this year are to keep the place tidy and to throw away stuff rather than just leaving it on the floor!
In:
a shirt I left at a friends
a dress and handbag (vintage shopping!)
food shop
Out:
Paper recycling
Plastic/Tin recycling
Food scraps recycling
bits from my food shop to work for breakfasts
Pending:
Yet more paper recycling
I've started yet another bag of clothes to go to the charity shop
I'm also clearing out my freezer so I have a chilli prawn pasta dish for lunch tomorrow and wednesday and curry on thursday0 -
in = 0
out =
toiletries x 5! (used up bits and pieces) - only 2 bits of packaging could be recycled :rolleyes:Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
