    Hubby has now decided that we need to declutter the freezers ( yes, plural!!) before he shops again. Good idea as we always find things in the bottom which we had forgotten.

    Am thinking about getting another cardboard box emptied tomorrow morning and maybe even tackling the last black bin of craft stuff not put away anywhere yet.

    I had an email from a freecycler yesterday who wanted "books"! I emailed back at once to find out more - I'll let you know if what they want is what I've got (in abundance)!

    Hi everyone,

    So happy to see a bit of sun - will get in the garden for a bit of Vitamin D.

    Had a serious clearout with DD of her make-up/toiletries/jewellery - unbelieveable how much stuff she had acquired.

    So:

    62. One bag of decent bits to cs
    63. One bag of not decent bits to bin

    :T

    Have a good day everyone

    Hi Julie67, you're very welcome here. If you've been in the loft and are planning on the garage - you've made a great start.
    Today I've decluttered a bookcase, rearranged another and brought all unsorted books into one room so that should be easier.
    3 books to recycling
