    We`ve got rid of all our big plants in tubs yesterday, gone to a neighbour down the road, big rocks, for a rockery, some going to another neighbour, the rest on freecycle.The first neighbour is taking all our wine making equipment off our hands as well.

    YAY!! £19.20 in bids on ebay.. 6 items going *FLING*

    Recycle bins emptied today so I can work on refilling those.. and the bad news is.. my wheelie is being emptied tomorrow (should be today but bank hols and such) and.. only 1 of my 2 bins has anything in it and that is only 2/3 full!!! This recycling thing doesn't look good in the landfill!!

    I have to pop a few bits round to my mothers in a bit then I can start on some more flinging.

    Hi Guys,
    Sorry not been on for a few days.
    You are all doing so well! :T

    Not done much de-cluttering this week as have been cleaning up stuff and photographing it for Ebay - going to list it tonight.

    OUT:
    6 bin bags of garden rubbish - took to the tip yesterday.
    3 bin bags for charity - collected yesterday too.

    IN:
    Quite a few plants and a grow bag for my tomatoes.
    2 hanging basket hooks (bargain - £1 at Tesco and as they over charged me I got them for nothing!)
    2 pairs of gardening gloves - 50p for Gents and £1 for ladies (well they were pink so worth the extra!) :o
    Curtains £14 and 2 duvet covers with p/cases £17 for my son's newly decorated bedroom (got them in the sale).
    Possibly 2 skirts for me - not decided if I am keeping them yet!

    EBAY:
    Bids totalling £47.19 on 4 items :D, 3 items no bids yet :( but 118 watchers overall! :j End Sunday.

    Also, I won a Flymo Mower for £10 this morning but not collected yet.

    No decluttering for me today as it is my son's 9th birthday so have baked a cake and have to do him a "birthday tea".

    Hope to get back on track soon.
    Have a good day.
    CF xx
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Well counselling session went well and I even went straight into town afterwards (normally feel too drained to want to bother), so now

    In.............bracelet (thought I'd treat myself)
    craft magazine


    Charity bag just been stuffed through the door so I'll have to root through some stuff and fill that up so I can have a 'out' list !

    Got some writing deadlines on my plate so won't be catching up with posts for a while yet but... just to say I spent somewhere between 1 and 2 hours today going through some old paperwork, lots to recycle but most of it for the shredder first... there's more to go in my office/spare room but it feels good to 'get back on the (decluttering) horse' after a long weekend away and a couple days of work.

    That room is definitely getting tidier and tidier!
