Wow! Everyone is being soooo productive. I wonder if the CS will show an increase in donations for the first quarter of this year
DH and I had a very productive weekend. I basically spent Sunday afternoon watching my gorgeous hubby repeatedly strip off whilst he went through and tried on the whole of his wardrobe. I can't think of a better way to spend my time:D:D
Whilst DH has never been fat, since he took his cycling to the next level, his body shape has changed dramatically, hence the need to try on all his clothes.
So
16 tops CS
7 tops rags
Trousers CS
2 pairs of trousers we're hoping to sell on eBay.
3 jumpers - rags due to moth damage :mad:
I spent several hours yesterday reading up on how to get rid of moths. We've tried several things over the years, but nothing has really worked. Cos of my breathing problems we can't use chemicals which limits us. And the natural approach so far hasnt worked. So, I've ordered a whole new selection of natural products and some moth proof garment bags which should protect his clothes in the meantime. Since they seem to prefer DH's clothes to mine, we'll tackle his wardrobe first and then do mine.
During my reading yesterday One of the recommendations was to steam cleaning the carpets to kill the eggs and caterpillars. So I'm thinking of investing in a steam cleaner. Does anyone have any recommendations?0 -
A charity bag came through the door, so we have taken the opportunity to fill it. Plus, some other things have sold on eBay.
So, the summary is as follows
179 - 3 dresses – eBay
180 - 4 tops – eBay
181 - Fleece – charity
182 - Jumper – charity
183 - pair of socks – charity
184 - 2 shirts – charity
185 - Slippers – charity
186 - Trainers – charity
187 - Deck shoes – charity
188 - plimsolls – charity
