Me.. 26th Dec
DS2.. 15th Jan

2 of the others were due New Years eve.. but I saw sense and had them 6 weeks early so they are both november.. BUT.. Over December and January we have.. 62 birthday amongst family and close friends.. with 4 being the same date of Jan 25th!

There was no planning to my children either.. I wanted a baby and didn't care when they were due/arrived!

- a whole lot of 'leftover' stuff from children's craft projects pre-Christmas.

If you haven't binned this already and there is still some usable bit's in there would happily pay P&P as my little one is always crafting!

Out today is a bag of books to the charity shop, a few bits of (I'm a shamed to say) past it's best food - but it was stuff that would have have piled on the weight if i'd consumed it!

In some half price Christmas craft stuff for next year.
A small chest with 4 draws, old fashioned but I saw something in it as a project... was £5 from Oxfam.. unfortunately I have lost it to the little one already!

Well, it's proving easier for me to find stuff to go to the charity shop, than it is things to throw out! I hate to think I am wasting things. It's struck me what a mammoth task decluttering this house is going to be!!!!

Today I binned the following:

1. A box that some nice stationary came in, the stationary has been used but I decided to keep the box to put things in. Well, it was still empty about three years after putting it in a cupboard.
2. A large pile of magazines found in the bottom of my wardrobe from 2005/2006!!!!
3. An old Argos catalogue from 2006.
4. Several children's workbooks age 3-5 (my DS2 is nearly 7). Some of the pages had been done, some hadn't.
5. A pokemon Annual from 2002, which had been scribbled all over, and had ripped pages.

Oh, I need to join this thread - I'm bad for not throwing away, but OH is dreadful, dreadful, dreadful - he seems to have a mad compulsion to order holiday brochures and pile them up by the side of his bed! It drives me crackers.

Since I've been in a bit of a tidying mood today:

IN:

Homebase sale leaflet & voucher for double points.

OUT:

1/2 bag paper recycling from the living room table/hellmouth in corner of room.
Empty catfood packets left by OH in kitchen.

Pending OUT:

Collection of dishes to be returned to my mum after she loaded us with leftover food at Christmas.
Bag of books and clothes from sister to be eBayed/swapped.
Couple of boxes of glass recycling.

I hope if I keep this up, I might actually get the house tidy and ready for redecoration... fingers crossed!
