Flylady Challenge - Take 4

Shell - it is a 27 fling boogie, you go round a room with a big bag and throw 27 things away. I think you are supposed to sort them into different boxes for sell, recycle or bin. It can be little things, but I always get carried away and throw away things we may actually need or want again.

I ruthlessly bin things, my lovely OH refuses to bin anything he could ever in extreme circumstance want again. My policy has been to hide things in the coal shed for six months, and then bin them if he hasn't noticed it is missing.

Thanks for that! does that also means bits of paper etc that might be lying around that should be in the bin - I'm bad for leaving envelopes on the side!
Or do we mean other toot we really don't need?

That's really funny about hiding the stuff from your OH - mine is terrible for throwing stuff away - I thought I was a horder, but he is worse than me!! When he got his house I helped him "let go" of so much old stuff!!! I've managed to do that over the years - but still have so much stuff that I probably don't really need or even use!!!

Right, time to shine my sink me thinks!

Amen to that!!!


Morning Flybabes :hello:,

Well you know what they say - all good things must come to an end (with the possible exception of the M25 ). This will be my last regular posting day for the forseeable . I know, I know, you all love me dearly and can't bear the thought of me not being around :rotfl: :rotfl: (PMs to that effect greatly appreciated ):rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Change in circumstances is all it is. I will still be Flying - I can promise you that! I may even sneak in a quick post from time to time, just to say Hi.

So a big thanks to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. You have NO idea how much each of you has helped me. My wife thinks I've gone nuts, however, as I now enthuse about cleaning products etc

So this list better be a good 'un I suppose

WM
