    Hi Guys,
    Good to see a few new declutterers joining us! :T

    Not had a good week tbh.

    IN :o
    T-shirt
    Skirt
    Make-up
    Magazine (came with free Laura Ashley bag so couldn't resist!)
    Magazine x 3 (came with lip glosses worth £13 each so see above!) :o
    Garden Sprayer
    Bird Feeder
    Book (library were selling them off so bargain at 30p)

    OUT
    Broken garden sprayer
    Broken bird feeder
    Bag of boys' outgrown school uniform to one of the Mums.

    EBAY
    Nothing listed yet, but have been washing stuff ready to list this week.

    So not a good week. :o

    Will try better this week.

    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 wash

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Looks like decluttering is in the air!

    We have worked like trojans this weekend - last push before the move!

    OUT

    Freecycle:
    3 pretty large pieces of furniture
    Huge carrier of freebie newspaper CDs/DVDs
    eBay:
    12 items sold - raising another 40 pounds
    Charity shops:
    4 huge black sacks of clothes, towels and bedding
    Green Metropolis:
    1 paperback!
    Rubbish: 2 bags of recycling & 1 bag of rubbish, 2 headboards and an old suitcase (last three items have been put out the front as sometimes passers by take them - being moved over to the refuse collection pile if they don't go by tomorrow)

    For the Council to collect:
    1 sofa bed (too far gone even for freecyclers)
    2 single mattresses
    1 double mattresses

    IN:

    About 6 boxes of kitchenwares, crockery, fragile items we don't want the removals men moving and pictures

    The remaining contents of my OH's house! Aargh - I don't know where its all going to go!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
