That's a brilliant idea-thanks. It would be a shame to throw them away and local charity shops don't take electricals.If you are happy to give it away Tatty then get yourself on Freegle - great for shifting stuff like that

Not showing off but am going for 300 by end of day
If you get anywhere near 300 I think you have every right to show off :T Big well done to you. You could be the Jettison June Gold Star Winner Any other contenders...
I'm still going:
80. smashed wine glass - in the bin, after adequate wrapping of course
I have a hot-spot in the kitchen which DS has been nagging me to sort for a while - we are going to do it together later. That should add quite a few to my list. Also I have sorted shoes for the CS (lovely high heels that I can't wear any more) but I won't count them for June as they won't leave the house until July.
Back later!!
ETA where are my manners? Welcome rumblytum, suzeesu2000, aldhabra, happy chick and flev

Well why not, you can spend your free time as you wish, in the privacy of your own shed :rotfl:

Sorry, haven't been round - been working far too many hours and not feeling all that well today BUT I have managed to clean out the spice cupboard in my kitchen which, I discovered, was full of out-of-date spices and multiple jars of certain spices.
23. About 20 jars of out-of-date spices.0 -
10 Eb*y parcels posted and 10 items in charity bag and one pair of very tatty knickers in the bin - 21 items so far. I am listing stuff on Eb*y as I go - giving it their last chance before its consigned to charity bag - too good to go into bin. And also putting things on Fr**gle - I have strategically placed 3 laptops and the PC on the go with Eb*y and Fr**gle on so I can post anywhere in the house as I find things to fling :rotfl: and it really speeds things up especially as I want to watch the tennis
Just got a call form a Freegler who is calling to pick something up so make that total 22!Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi
