    Weekend again so back to the clutter mine:
    Bin:
    96. dried up glue
    97. assorted school stationery items
    98. curtain tiebacks for curtains we no longer own
    99. rusty drawing pins
    100. instructions & packaging for a watch
    101. a handfull of screws
    102. dried up paintbrushes

    Recycling:
    103. an envelope of paperwork
    104. a printer I didn't even know was in the house
    CS:
    105. small ornament
    106. jigsaw roll
    107. pack of underwear
    108 decorative mugs
    109. small plastic bat
    110. - 112. books

    So much more to go but I'm just plodding on.
    The back bedroom needs to be empty (or very near) before carpet layers arrive and, unfortunately, the room has become a dumping ground for the DSx2's 'stuff'. I can only get rid of the obvious at the moment :(

    Later:
    113. broken toy
    114. plastic watch holder
    115.- 121. jigsaws
    122. travel booklets
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
