    Try a couple of hours on Sunday Mogkat? I doubt anyone official would pay attention on a Sunday ;)

    Maybe a friend or family member who has a bit of a front space would let your stuff sit there for an afternoon? If you have any ecologically minded friends I'm sure they'd agree it's worth a try.

    Or try womens refuge, young persons hostels, that kind of thing?

    i'm back on the wagon AGAIN! i've got next week off and i'm determined to finish this place once and for all!
    i've got loads of things to relist on freecycle, maybe i should do that before i log off tonight.
    Once again i have to decide whether i should put some craft stuff on ebay that i had forgotten i had which is a sign that i don't need it.

    bit of a mixed day for us;
    OUT - carrier bag to charity shop (2 books, 1 video, 1 pair new shoes - too small).
    IN - a king size quilt cover (needed a spare after changing from double to king size quilt)

    I wish we had more time to devote to de-cluttering 'cos it seems to be going really slowly. We seem to be constantly doing stuff but never getting any further forward :confused:
