    51 books in a box to try and sell to our local 2nd hand book shop next week (leftovers to charity shop - promise!)
    Small carrier bag of bits and a giant cuddly polar bear I received for xmas (I'm 22 what do i need a giant polar bear for?) to charity shop going tomorrow
    Tip run tomorrow - sooooo much glass and 2 bin bags of textile recycling

    Got my cash4clothes bag picked up today - it was a bit more of a mission than I anticipated to fill half a bag so I had to get friends and family to chip in. Not worth an awful lot, probably would've got more for it CB-ing it but I can't hold with it hanging around until spring. If it's going to go it's going asap!

    However I am collecting stuff for Music Magpie as it is usually worth it. I can now hide that bag in my very de-cluttered wardrobe and not think about it - woooooo.

    I'm impressed with everyone's chuck a 100 updates - spurring me on :)
    All that is gold does not glitter
    All those who wander are not lost

    Not sure what I will manage tomorrow as I am usually shattered after work but I suppose that even 1 more item would be better than nothing! Will be back tomorrow then
