  • . I also cleared out the cupboard over the stairs in DS bedroom. But the shame of it. I found a pack of unopened Safeway nappies - DS is now 17!

    Good luck with the test results.

    I think I still have a half-finished christening gown somewhere that I started to knit when I found out I was pregnant, and DS is now 33 :eek:
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D

    DS (age 15) announced that he has now sorted out his drawers and wardrobe and that he has filled a black bin bag with rubbish and it is in the wheelie bin. DS is not one to sort, declutter or tidy so I was a little concerned that what he considers rubbish may not actually be rubbish but stuff he couldn't be bothered to do anything with, so I went to investigate - too late! DH has emptied the contents of the vac into the black bag. I'm going to have to trust him on this one.

  • Not much out today, but while looking for paint in the garage DH found a bag containing rotting vegetables - then I remembered I'd put them in there at Christmas, when we were short of space in the kitchen!:eek:

    Anyway, also found an old pillow that was thrown out too.

    Thank goodness it was bin day today!

    Decluttered 22 /100 in February.

    Gas man repaired the boiler, and has left two bags of rubbish that he will arrange to be collected - will count these when they've gone.
