    3 binbags of rubbish sorted out of 3 huge boxesof toys. I have a binbag for CS too and some things got put away.. I am starting bit of a cs collection again.. must send the offspring out on Tuesday.

    Talk sense to me.. I don't need scatter cushions do I???? I can fling them without guilt can't I?

    I also don't need to keep the assortment of red candle holders do I???

    evening all,
    well the bootsale was very wet. we stayed long enough to cover the cost of the car and a little more got enough to cover 1/3rd of the cost of the new blind for the bedroom, then when they rain started again we gave up (we werent the only ones others gave up sooner), actually might have been a lot better if it had not been wet. but unfortunately i ended up absolutely soaked right through even with a big thick coat on, and even tho it didnt feel all that cold, i started to shiver right through from being so wet, other wise i would have stayed longer. but theres another indoor one every saturday a little further up the road. cant go next week as i will be looking after my friends kids thursday till sunday, but i will be going the week after.
    but on a brighter note thats about 10 or so items out of this place this morning, just would have liked it to be more.

    now i gotta write a list of what i need to pack for next weekend otherwise im bound to forget something. get that bag packed, and hopefully get some more things sorted. might be a good idea to eat something as well today, i think all i had yesterday was a sandwich and a packet of crisps. no idea yet just gonna go raid the freezer and see what i find.

    :) I have decluttered a fair few weeds and tidied up on the allotment. Plenty more left to go; the beggars will keep growing whenever my back is turned. Ackshully, with all this rain, the sunny spells and the long hours of daylight, I could probably sit up there and watch them grow.......

    Present and card now with the pal and some birthday cake decluttered. Have caught up on family phonecalls (3 in past hour) and am be-pajama-ed and chilling out.

    Have been adding things to the bag of stuff to go to family towards the end of the week and finished a book which I bought to read and also to share with Mum, it's the kind of thing we both enjoy, and then it goes into the c.s. bag.

    I've got some paperwork to deal with in the next few days, out so that it will get actioned, then I'm putting it away neatly - it's important stuff. Got a duplicate lot of final bill stuff one week after the original final bill stuff from the old utility supplier. I dunno, you spend weeks trying to get them, and then two come along in 7 days.:rotfl:

    Will have to see if there's anything on the bookshelf which I can finish this week and take to family, either to read/ share or give to online bookseller brother to sell. Got to keep those shelves current, not stale.

    Keep on keeping on, lovely peeps. Thar be floors unna there, tha knows.

    chuck the scatter cushions and the candle holders.

    I have got 7 books by the back door to go.

    Have been sorting out my business paperwork before Britain's Got Talent. I've been putting it off but it is quite nice to sort it out.

    Stelios' programme is on more4 at the moment - it isn't one I have seen before, so maybe an older series.

    great going everyone - I love scatter cushions pp - but no-one needs them, so if they offend thee chuck them out.

    I've got another bin bag of rubbish out of the loft and hoovered up there so more space appearing.

    Have finished a project for dd's birthday (a photo book, she came along at the point when nearly everyone I know stopped using film cameras and so although we have lots of photos of DS(11)'s early adventures in albums there are very few physical photos of her) I've found lots of online photos all over the place and put them in one folder in the cloud and am looking forward to seeing them together in a book for her birthday. I had an introductory voucher so it cost less than a fiver, plus their software didn't agree with my chromebook so I'm not expecting great things but I know it will please her.

    The microwave is inching closer to the front door.
    :AA/give up smoking (done) :)

    All this de-cluttering is catching, Dd listed some broken electricals for spares and made £20 - all that would have gone in landfill :j Much better for all doing it that way.

    Have a big bag for the Cs filling up nicely but have a lot of special projects on their way to being finished so everywhere a little tipped up today. Have tomorrow to get sorted as we are staying in. Found 2 new hatboxes in the wardrobe with a few odd balls of yarn in so am swopping them for the worn out ones on the fireplace (full of craft stuff) and throwing away the tatty ones.

    Going to corral all my artpen pots and cover them in nice paper then glue them to a tray instead of chucking them somewhere then having to fish them out when I need them. Will look much nicer and less jumbled than looking at gravy granule labels on them s they are now :D
