    It was all piled up ready to go and I got rid of it all today.

    3 large storage boxes

    1 LP record case from the 80s

    2 large coats

    Miscellaneous bits including an NHS Fraud mug, a pencil case, trashy paperbacks, an old cot blanket and a pair of walking shoes

    A carry case for a mattress cover filled with rags.

    I dragged it through the city with a luggage trolley and a bin bag.

    I'm tired now. :o

    ETA : pavement and street swept and rubbish collected including a broken bottle.

    One load of laundry done.
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:
