    Morning all ! Well I've spent all morning delving into my wardrobe.........six bin bags to go and I haven't finished yet !! Whats more the wardrobe still looks full !!! Rearrange the rail a bit and the baskets on the floor of the wardrobe are empty except for a bag of shoes to be sorted later (had to put them in there-kept tripping over them ! Tomorrow I'll try and start on the three wicker baskets of 'summer stuff' on top of the wardrobe .............I really shouldn't be let out of the house...........all of this stuff is from the charity shop...............no wonder they're always so pleased to see me.
    At least if it is from a charity shop you don't feel so bad about rehoming clothes. I should really go through my wardrobe - have a habit of buying bits I like but which don't 'go' with anything else:mad:
    I'll never have a wardrobe as neat as yours missyg..........but at least I'm trying............:j
    missyg is the standard to which we lesser mortals aim.:rolleyes:

    Thanks Pigpen - Thursday it is for my relists then :D

    Wish I could find a 'before' pic of my wardrobe from about 15 years ago... wasn't always so neat believe me!

    Nothing in, nothing out today.

    I do that as well..............home in on something because I like it, get it home and its the wrong style/shade to go with anything. You won't believe the number of things I chucked out today that still had price tags on........even from the charity shop it all adds up. If I'd taken them back I'd have got a credit note...........but that would just make be bring something else home...............lol

    Anyway, just delved a bit more and filled another bin bag so thats seven in total !!!:T
    Can't count them as going 'out' yes though can I ? Do I have to wait until they actually leave the house ?
    Least nothings come 'in' the house today (apart from milk cos we ran out and that doesn't count) and long as I'm not going into town then nothing will.........its just me. Can't go to town without I come back with something:rotfl:
