    Well here goes my first update.

    In

    2 Kids magazines
    2 large carriers kids clothes (from friend)

    Out

    5 black bags assorted clothes (charity collection this morning)
    1 black bag bedding/curtains (charity collection this morning)
    1 black bag shoes (charity collection this morning)
    1 black bag of assorted ruined clothing (bin)

    I feel so much better already. For the first time in months my rail in the wardrobe hasn't collapsed, and I can close the kids drawers! LOL :T

    The clothing from my friend is mainly school clothes, so I've managed to save a couple of quid on the kids uniforms. :p
