I also have a big box of old mags and papers going back to the 60's mostly women's mags... anyone got any ideas.. i have kept them for what reason I don't know!
Thanks in advance :-)

Are there any vintage fairs in your area? Womens mags VERY popular at the moment.;)

Another black bag gone in the wheelie bin - this time full of junk I found on shelves/in drawers/in boxes from trying to declutter in the lounge. It's starting (slowly) to look better and making me feel better too so all good .

Hi

Same here, another black bag plus a bag of recycling. My bedroom is now looking much better, Now, can see more of the floor. Def feel a lot better.

Since clearing up/throwing away, I've found loads of face and foot creams.:) won't need to buy any for a while.

1 CS bag picked up from doorstep on Tuesday, just past. (Had few bits of clothes, couple pairs of shoes, some books & couple of dvds).
1 fish tank sold yesterday, to a bloke at work. (Been trying to sell for past 4-5 months).
4 Amazon sales over the past week (2 dvds, 1 blu-ray disc & 1 vinyl lp)
More paper shredded.
Car boot cleaned out.

Now it probably doesn't count, but I have just decluttered a large bucket full of weeds from the garden - or am I grasping at straws here?!! Lovely to be out in the sunshine.

This week, I've decluttered all the kitchen stuff I sorted out- some has gone to Mum, and some has gone to CS. I've got two big bags of books from my Nan though, and I decluttered lots of my old books- bit of a disappointment, as thought I could get rid of them on Zapper- no such luck. Also tried Zaffit and Abe books- they'd take a couple, but not all of them. There's a clothes place nearby that I can weigh them in, so I'll give that a go. I'll put the text books on ebay- it looks like I might get more for them that way!
I'll also declutter all the lovely things I bought for Mother's Day tomorrow

Recycling day today so got rid of some old cardboard boxes and found enough old clothes/towels that aren't OK to go to CS so put them in a black bin bag to be recycled too.

Since last post:
- 23 more items of clothing and a pair of very worn boots added to the bags for fabric recycling: £19.80 back


- another handful of items in the CS box, (now delivered)


- 4 cardboard boxes squashed and out for the recycling collection tomorrow


- 3 broken hangers binned


I did weed out the dvds and cds, but there's not enough to reach the minimum amount on Magpie/Zapper so I'm not sure what to do with them yet.


Old Fridge/freezer given away, garage still is crammed though!

Still sorting and listing on Ebay. One box I found buried last week has everything listed and bids up to £43 so far. Day at home today, so more sorting and listing.


DH has built a shed in the garden using some of the old conservatory, so he will sand and paint furniture in there instead of in the house :T
