IN :
- Some blank CD's from my dad to burn music to (so I can switch the computer off and get on with my studying
) - Some photos from when DD was born that I didn't have (scanned them in to the computer and they'll be returned to my mum )
- Recycling (only to the bin but its out
) - A hoody top which I shrank by accident - given to my sister for wearing around the house rather than throwing it out
- Going to ex this weekend:
- 2 large board games that I no longer want (Cludeo DVD & The Simpsons Game of Life)
- Framed watercolour of Rydal Waters (gift from one his family years ago )
- Piece of canvas artwork (his sister did it for us)
- Giftbag of old exercise books with pencils & other stationary - for DD to leave at his house to save packing them everytime she goes to stay
- DD .... but only until Sunday when she's coming home again :rotfl:

Challenge anyone???
Who can fill the most bags and boxes and get rid of them??
Should we base it on weight or on number if binbags?.. the big black sack ones?
I have loads to do.. I need fine grade sandpaper tomorrow so I can decorate the landing.. I want to have at least 1 layer of paint on before hubby comes home.. he hasn't put the skirting on yet but I can paint that when it is on.. I need to measure up for carpet too.
So.. anyone game?
Pigpen, how long for the challenge? Count me in

Email them & tell them it will be going to either tip / charity shop / bin if they don't collect tonight. Then if it hasn't been collected, you can get rid with a clear conscience tomorrow.
Don't let them think they are doing you the favour by taking stuff off your hands - you did them the favour by offering it in the first place - they didn't have to take it!0 -

i just got an "Age Concern" collection bag put through my door. I may just be able to get my Husband to sort out his pile of jackets now and get rid of some of them!! He has already said he will do it next week as he is off work so maybe i won't have to nag him if he has a deadline of when they are coming to collect the bag again!
Typical that they want old handbags too and i got rid of about four to the charity shop the other day, and a load of other bits, I could've saved my petrol and just put it out in the front garden for the bag to be collected if they'd come a week sooner!!
I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!
I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!0 -
