Only a few bits today (will hand them over tomorrow).
35. A too-short extension cable.
36. A skirt.
37. Another skirt.
38. 4 emery boards - binned.
39. A plaster of paris cast of my teeth (just don't ask, OK?)- binned.
40. 4 ice-cream tubs. Tried Freecycle but no takers- binned.
Not sure where the other 60/100 can come from but I'm sure I'll think of something...............Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

DD has brought most of her stuff home from uni and her and DS are swapping rooms so a major upheavel at the moment. There is stuff everywhere. Good news is that DD is sorting stuff as she puts it away and there is a recycling bag and rubbish bag filling up.
Had some lights fitted today so recycled the packaging and DH will take the very old lights to the recycling plant over the weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Well some more sorted over the last couple of days, DH watched Hoarder programme with me & threw away some of his "Magazine Mountain" some of which goes back to 2007, still of mountainous proportions but if he sorts a few more tonight I may reclasify it as a hill
My DS left loads of old magazines here (amongst other things, lol!), when he moved out nearly 3 years ago, and I was so pleased when he finally gave me the OK to recycle them!short_bird wrote: »92-99) About to tackle the bookshelf overflow.:eek: I'd like to have books and only books on the bookshelves:rotfl:
Wouldn't that be a novelty, lol, I'm still trying to get to that point!
Still not much out, but the house is quite clean and tidy at the moment, as I've got all the ebay boxes stacked more neatly in the spare room, I did some ironing today to get rid of the pile on the spare bed, and on Wednesday I finally used up a very old bottle of skin toner (from the 1970's, :eek:!), and put the bottle in recycling.
Got loads of stuff ready to list on ebay over the weekend, hoping to get some larger items on there, sold 1 item from last time but the buyer can't pay until next week when they get paid, so that probably won't go until at least Thursday.Weight loss challenge 2/10lbs

It was cast from a mold of my mouth taken by my dentist for entire legitimate dental purposes; I'm not that weird!
Said purpose having been accomplished, the mold is redundant. Think I'll break it up with a hammer before I put it in the bin as I wouldn't want to give some future landfill archaeologist a funny turn..........:rotfl:Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

Both my DDs have a bewildering array of these - casts of their own teeth BTW:eek: - kindly given to them by dentist/orthodontist after extensive toe curling orthodontic work which had included amazing braces,clips wires gold chains and countless trips to hospital/dental surgery. They ( the teeth) sit along their book shleves in their rooms - grinning:D:D:D:DI guess one day they will want to throw them but for now they are quite an amusing reminder:rotfl::rotfl:
