Yesterday and today I have continued to sort out the bookshelf in the living room. Nearly done now apart from a few small things to go through. I went through 2 lever arches that were full of old articles etc. that I haven't looked at for years. Most of the paperwork is now in the recycling bin. 2 more lever arches to go through. I am hoping that by the end of it it can all fit into 1 lever arch. I have also decluttered plenty of dust this weekend. 3 pictures have been hanged on the walls that were previously cluttering up the hallway floor. This weekend I feel that I have achieved a lot at home which is great feeling.No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up.

Hi
More to church sale lady:
Baby bag
Baby door bouncer
4 pregnancy and baby care books
Beaded scarf
She knows a lady who collects baby things for the local prison nursery unit. Last week I gave her 4 or 5 bottles of baby lotion we had somehow accrued (never use the stuff) and she said the lady who collects was so grateful. Those girls in there have nothing, so anything to make those little babes lives a little more comfortable is very welcome. I'm going to bear this in mind when I continue my sorting...

2 drinking glasses to work and a cheese board to the charity bag...
