Spring Clearout

Me and Mr Spouse have just started our annual Spring Clearout.
So far
- converted straight to cash - £20 of old CD's off to Music Magpie, about £30 of DVD's sold on ebay, £3.00 in copper coins,
- things I'd forgotten I had - a year's supply of toothpaste, a lifetime supply of body lotion/hand cream, 2x £4.00 Sainsbury's vouchers that were still in date, a really nice black cardigan,
- feel-good factor - two bin bags to the charity shop
- doing the right thing - boot load to the tip to be recycled, old medicines back to the chemist.
And that's just from three rooms!!

No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...
