    When "bags for life" first arrived, I thought one point was that, when they got too bad to use, you could return them to the shop they came from and get a new one free of charge. Is that still the case?

    You're right but I couldn't be bothered to go and get another one!

    Hi all,
    Have taken another load the the tip - packed the car better this time so I could recycle more easily.

    Doing a thorough clean and scrub of the house before our Open House in Saturday. Got 8 viewers booked so far.
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    :T Well done to all for your decluttering achivements.

    A bit more decluttering done:

    * The grass has finally been cut in the front and back garden. Need to tidy up the borders though.
    * a bit more mail has been dealt with either shredded or filed.
    * 2 off OH cardboards have been flattened ready to take to the recycling station over the weekend.
    * 1 hand cream & 1 shower gel have been used up.
    * 1 pot plant has gone in the garden bin.

    Thank you Becky.
    It's been on the market for 10 months. Hopefully a this new agent will bring some luck.

    I've never cleaned and scrubbed so much, lol.

    Ebay has been getting on my nerves this week, had silly questions from people over cheap items and then had a person bidding on items in a country I don't post to, who then insulted me when I cancelled their bids = blocked!

    One sad, probably dyding plant, passed on to a sainted colleague at work who is the Angel of Mercy to plants with strict instructions that she can keep it or throw it but I do NOT want it back! Also a large donation bag filled and ready to go; some shredding done and every odd sock in the house either paired up or thrown out. Great feeling!
    Looking ahead
