My plan for today is to gut dds bedroom as she's on camp holiday. I'm aiming to get two bags of rubbish and two bags for charity. I'm such a mean mum:D!! ....

I did this regularly when my DS's went on Cub camp...even decorated one year....they never noticed that the "carp" toys & rubbish had disappeared!

OH tested my old computer only to find it only works intermidently so not worth trying to sell/freecycle (he's very good with computers always flipping taking them apart so knows he's stuff). So he stripped it down - case to go for scrap metal recycling and some of the bits inside are in his bits box and the rest are in the WEEE box. Have bought monitor into the house so he can check that and if it's ok we'll freecycle it.

He's finally sorted through all his computer bits too so there's a big box to go to his office to offer to people for projects etc and a box at home to go to the tip at the weekend for recycling and what he's keeping is all lovely stacked up in the garage neatly and we've tidied the rest of the garage too so that's a result. Out various bits of rubbish and more stuff in the recycling bins.

Someone is hopefully coming for 2 IKEA wardrobes shelves from freecycle too tonight so that should be something else gone and will list about 5 other things on small ads at work/freecycle tonight as I bought things in from the garage that can be sold/freecycled and they're all in the hallway as an incentive to get rid of them!!

Well done on the house sale and mortgage clearing angelavdavis :T

How do you get on with Turbolister? I've got a huge pile of stuff that I want to list (especially since I keep going to Next sale ) but it takes ages so I get fed up after about 6 things!

I love it and with experience it's quick and easy.
I do tend to list as I clearout though so I don't have a long slog.

My DS has just brought home 6 years of primary school books etc.... OMG:eek:
That's gonna take some de-cluttering:D

It yake a few goes to get to grips with but once you have it running and are used to it it is very simple to use.
