    Bin bag gathering a large amount to be taken to the charity shop.

    Posted 2 x textbooks which had been ordered off Amazon Marketplace (can you send second class?)

    It's amazing how much junk (and dust!) I have accumulated. My brother even asked whether I could put some stuff on Amazon for him.

    ......Any ideas on what to do with coat hangers? I have tried to freecycle them but got no response.

    Next & M&S used to take their own ones back.....not sure if they still do?

    Maybe give them to a local charity shop - I'm sure they'd welcome them if they sell clothes.

    Anyone know what to do with old spectacles?
