    I'm decluttering wine, too, and DH has popped out for a takeaway curry (as we're child free for the night). Don;t tell anyone, or I lose my OS Board Guide stripes :p

    As you know, DH does a lot of business travel, and each long-haul flight KLM give him a delft house , filled with Bols GIN :beer: They are really pretty, but need [STRIKE]dusting[/STRIKE] washing thoroughly :p

    Toots - I so get the pharmacy bag thing, I can't throw paper bags away!

    I've decluttered loads of receipts from the drawer, checked them against the credit card statment. Just a couple of bank statements to do so that is another good job done.

Have loads to put on freegle so will keep sorting and tidying. :jI am working on the principle of if I down size will I take this with me and if the answer is no then off it goes.

    • silky legs now - defuzzed this morning and used loads of body oil
