    Welcome aboard all-change!

    Cheers for that.... slowly clearing the spare room of junk.

    Not too worried about the "INs", not much coming in really, more concerned about getting things out!

    This weekend/today:

    OUT: 5 items to freecyclers

    Well, I managed to get DH to sort out his jackets for the Age Concern bag being collected tomorrow. Two have gone in the bag and one he wants me to put on eBay cos he says it's too good to just give away!
    I also managed to fill the bag with stuff of mine. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and all my pre-pregnancy tops were looking a bit tired so I thought I'd get rid of the ones I'm fed up with and then can get some nice, new cheap tops from Sainsbury's and Tesco once the baby is born and I have a normal shaped body again!!

    I also cleared out a load of bubble wrap from a drawer and also had a foot pump collected from a freecycler this afternoon.

    There's two bags of coat hangers in the hall waiting to be collected by another freecycler tomorrow!

    I'm so enjoying all this de-cluttering. Maybe it's me nesting ready for the new baby and don't want to have too much mess when it gets here!
    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!
    :p
