    464 one magazine
    465 old bits of friendly plastic (melty plastic stuff that you bake in the oven & use to make unnatractive jewellery)
    466 clipped out recipes
    467 broken CD case
    467 magazine cuttings
    468 used up notebook

    And into the bulging sack awaiting rehoming :

    470, 471 two CDs
    472 - 478 vinyl singles. Quite scratched & of no value.

    Hopefully a bit more later on. Had to lug the paper recycling to the kerbside earlier. It was like a labour of Hercules.

    Wow! Everyone is being soooo productive. I wonder if the CS will show an increase in donations for the first quarter of this year :D

    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: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?
