    I have spent time between working wiping 3.5 disks.

    I can't find any takers on freecycle, but can't afford to leave them with files on as some of the stuff is commercially sensitive.

    Its slow progress but they are gradually disappearing into the bin as I am wiping them.

    I also have a pile of filing to sort through as well.

    Have got rid of a pile of photographic mags through freecycle, but have piles to go still. Am thinking of taking a carrier full to my GP surgery next time I visit, and perhaps dumping some on a table at the hospital too.

    14 things listed on Ebay - 14 million to go :)
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Have just ditched a load of c**p photos and posted a bunch to my ex-husband.

    I can't even remember half the people in the photos!

    I have decided to scan some of the really old stuff and post onto friendsreunited for others to laugh at!!!

    OH's desk didn't arrive as we thought it would - bit disappointing.

    I have a bunch of empty photo albums now to give away on freecycle. That's half a shelf cleared in a cupboard!

    Photo albums look like they might have a taker tomorrow, plus ceramic lamp base & shade and sewing box - all freecyclers.

    Well, started my day early. Got a bit of work in then printed out some packing slips for ebay. Got two parcels waiting for a courier to collect.

    Need to print out some more sender labels as I am nearly out. I had bought a stamp that I planned to use instead but it has been packed in a box somewhere and has yet to be unearthed :(

    I have filled one sack with rubbish and filled the paper recycling box too with non-shreddable paper from the office. Have managed to clear three more boxes and shred a load of stuff, but it looks like the shredder is on its last legs (its not that old either!).

    Never mind, the sun is out here and the sea looks good out there!

    Out:
    White roller blind to a freecycler
    Photos to ex-husband

    In:
    Nothing

    The office floor is looking a lot clearer now, though there is still a lot of junk piled on the floor and I will need to do a mammoth listing weekend.

    Have you noticed that ebay has changed? It makes it harder to decipher if an item is being advertised by a shop imho. What do you think?
