Oh eck............there's no stopping OH now he's started...........he was going to clear the back yard but started on the garage instead and has bagged up stuff to be collected from a chap collecting anything and everything on Thursday so (hopefully)
Out-
Bag of coats
Two old kettles (why were we keeping them?)
Bag of bedding (used to belong to an ex foster girl who got evicted)
Bag of handbags (all mildewy )
Three old rugs
Have to ring this chap in the morning and see if he'll take a bag of teddy bears that are beyond it - they also once belonged to an ex foster girl who's long since moved miles away.............somehow we always get left with half these kids stuff..................lol:rotfl:
Just to add..............put some crockery on freecycle (stuff we've have for ages and no longer need) and someone wants it...........only put it on today....................!! So, I've put the bag of mildewy teddy bears on........you never know someone might want them. All they need really is a good washMary
