    sorted the cupboard by our front door today, got rid of a few things and made better use of the space.

    Then took recycling they don't collect to the recycling banks and finally OH's waste electricals box too and some wood so our garage is looking even better.

    And nothing in at all this weekend so very pleased with that.

    In: One kitten!! :rolleyes:

    Out: Nothing

    We only brought the kitten home half an hour ago and he is exploring! Aparantly an old lady owned him but she is in hospital and unlikely to come out again so the neighbour was asked to re-house him otherwise he would be put to sleep. No-one wanted him so rather than have him destroyed we took him in. His name is Archie, after Cary Grant's real name (Archie Leach) and he is 12 weeks old.
    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!

    Haven't de-cluttered for a while (really ought to) but had to pop on to say I got rid of something today on our local don'tdumpthat site..........having said that, I've also committed myself to having a small wardrobe but for a good use..........to stop coats being slung on the floor/settee/back of chair. It'll go in out back room where the boiler is (when room is painted) so it'll 'clear some clutter' a bit.
    Also trying to 'out' defunk vaccum cleaner via don'tdumpthat.........maybe someone will either get it working or use it for spares.

    So

    Out: old chamber pot
    bottles to bottle bank (at last!!) :rotfl:

    To go................five paper back books, set of MIL's plates, defunk vacum cleaner and assorted t-shirts..................charity shop I think

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
