    the rest of the bath toys that were past it
    some boxes for china that I use all the time
    a couple of sheets
    some bath products that I was given 3 years ago, tried and I don't like them but felt guilty about slinging them!

    Not had chance to fully catch up but I'm shattered so quick post. Hope everyone had a productive weekend!

    We got rid of an old reclining armchair and our old kin size mattress to the tip this weekend along with 2 bags full of coat hangers and a clothes rail and 1 bin bag.

    I have a bag full for charity, hoping to take tomorrow.

    6/15 things on eBay have bids so they will be out by next weekend. Gave mum a pair of pjs that were too big and got rid of a set of barbells to my brother.

    2 presents got delivered this weekend so they were out of the house :)

    In's this weekend include some hand me downs off a friend for DS, that will be useful, 4 pairs of shoes (2 in the size he now is which saves me buying some this month), 3 jackets and a tshirt :)

    Groceries and bulk buy of loo roll (27 for £9 velvet), duct tape, another storage box/seat and 2 more large vacuum bags.

    Think that was it. Pretty impressed :) and we've changed our bedroom around so evelyns cot was right next to the bed, she settles better if she can see us and that didn't work where her cot was before, we have literally re arranged everything so got some piles of stuff to sort through tomorrow!

    Any who, it's 00:08 by my watch so night all x
    DFW Total £21,800 to clear by Dec 2022
    MFW Total £184,950 £179,066 to clear by 2035
  • Right...Ds1 gone off to school, hubby still languishing in bed (as went out fishing till 3am!!) Ds2 not at school till tomorrow so I think we will attack his room first, get him to go through all the clothes & see what's what! :) Be back later to report progress!
