    My button box is inherited from my mum, dd picked her 5 favorites which were much the same as mine when i was little :rotfl:

    My kids at school love it when we get the button box out when doing collage - simple pleasures for 5 and 6 year olds who have all the latest gadgets and gizmos (sp??) but none of the essentials:( I still have my grannies button box and my DDs way beyond the age for playing with buttons:rotfl: still find 'treasures' in there:)

    Back on topic, I'm about to tackle the bathroom cabinet when I clean in there. Also have ordered dd some crocs from ebay so will have 1 item coming into the house but I'm quiet relaxed about it as I have got rid of so much.

    That reminds me I have about 6 pairs of crocs that no longer fit so will list them on Eb*y at weekend. Thanks:D

    Not been on for a couple of days due to visitors and babysitting, but have got rid of the following over the past couple of days:

    1 old wooden coat hanger
    4 cheap vinyl tiles (bought as an experiment which didn't work!)
    Piece of carpet from porch - on skip
    Piece of carpet from downstairs loo - on skip
    6 glasses - to a friend
    1 Pyrex plate - to a friend
    Bag of socks given to me by daughter - to a friend
    Old plastic waste bin
    Old plastic container
    4 yd skip from driveway
    Bag of broken flowerpots - skip

    We're getting there: we're putting the house on the market next week so the garden has had a major tidy up. In fact, it's never looked better in the 14 years we've lived here!

    Amazing what the threat of having people view your house can do!!!
    Just got to do the inside now.... a case of putting things in drawers and cupboards while the photos are being taken, then sorting and decluttering it before people come to view. No stress there then....!!

    Good luck loopychriss, I'm terrified of ever having to move :eek:

    Another 10 items of various tat removed from the bathroom, sadly all to recycling or the bin.

    I have also discovered I never have to buy Sudocreme for the rest of my life and I have enough small packets of tissues for DD to use all the way to uni! :rotfl:
