    Debt-free and Proud!
    Sent OH to the loft and he came down with enough of his old clothes to fill three large bags for the charity shop. It's great to know that they've gone but I can't see the nice clear space! At least he's on board. Aiming for more stuff this weekend...

    Everyone is doing really well - perhaps it's that autumn feeling in the air....!

    I've decluttered one son to university :( I will miss him, but he'll have a great time.

    While we packed up all his stuff, he took the opportunity to declutter his room 'properly', so:-

    243. Rags for rag man at CS
    244. Shoes - CS
    245. Light up ornament thing - CS
    246. Various bags - CS
    247. Magazines - recycling
    248. Ties - CS
    249. Ratty, old bags with holes in - bin
    250. Jacket - CS
    251. Book - CS
    252. Picture - CS
    253. Inflatable football - CS
    254. Punctured football (why was he keeping that??) - bin
    255. Digital alarm clock - electrical recycling
    256. Selection of clothes that are raggedy and full of holes - CS for rag man
    257 and 258. Two carrier bags of rubbish and recycling
    259 - 265. Seven books - CS
    266 - 281. Miscellaneous smaller items including hats, scarves, games etc- CS

    I'm pretty sure I am going to reach my 365 items in 2014 target :D
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.
