I plan on renting my house in the next 4 months and buying a barge to live on

That sounds very exciting . My OH loves barges and I know if we ever got that chance he'd want to grab it.

Yeah!! One bag of DDs clothes to her cousin at the weekend - plus some toys and games! Still a big pile in the hall but we're getting there.

Wow - Well done guys,
i had no idea this would help so many people !

I haven't got rid of anything recently.
although i have to start soon -
I'm getting new flooring & furniture in my room soon.

Ahhh so much i need to do.
Might see if my boyfriend wants to do a carboot sale this month.

Well I finally got rid of my July bag last thursday, it was the first time I'd been past the recycling place (without making a special journey). Now I need to concentrate on this month's bag to get rid of.

Can I join in? I got rid of most of the china/ kitchen stuff that has been in the loft since we moved last year. 1 box of Denby pottery went to auction, and another box of assorted bits and pieces to the CS :T

Confession: I still have about 5 casserole dishes though :eek:
To say nothing of all the baking dishes, plates, bowls, oven tins etc

To say I have a bit of a weakness for kitchen things (especially old ones, from charity shops, car boots and junk markets) is an understatement........

Just got rid of one bag, about to start on the next. I really need to start watching some dvds so I can get rid of them!

Not really got rid of the stuff yet, but I've just listed 45 items on ebay. So hopefully I'll sell at least half of it, and I'll count that as a bag for the challenge :j

I'm the same, I would much rather buy kitchen stuff from a charity shop or car boot than a new item from a shop. Unfortunately I dont have enough room to store it all but hate getting rid of it. I have a jam pan under the stairs that I got from the charity shop I used to volunteer in, I dumped it there when I bought it months ago but I have another one in the shed that I use once a year lol

Not quite a bag, but I've just filled the boot of my car with old duvets & pillows. Off to the tip as I'm too ashamed to take them to a charity shop

:eek:

DFC, some of the charity shops take in textiles as rags - they're able to sell-on old or damaged linens, clothes, belts, handbags & shoes.

I decided, a while back, that a person can only keep so many old t/shirts etc to use as dusters, so carted off to the CS 3 black sacks full of shoes with broken heels (had kept as daughter loved them & hoped to get them fixed), t/shirts with bleach stains (kept to be cut up & used as dusters), t/towels with holes (kept as one end was still useful ) & a couple of leather belts that had stretched & had too much 'give' in them (put on weight so don't know why I was keeping ).

However, since I did that, many months ago, the piles of old clothes have started piling up again - will I never learn!

What a good idea for a challenge. I do this anyway! I have a clear out of cupboards etc regularly, taking them one at a time, then I slowly collect a bag of bits to go to charity. My next job will be to go through my wardrobe, but I find that tough because I am a student who is due to start a work placement in October and don't know what the dress code will be! Usually I would say if I haven't worn it for a year, it's got to go!

Good luck everyone :-)
