    We took quite a few boxes and bags of stuff to the charity shop after work today. As tooties said, it's so liberating. I'd like to finish the spare room and a cupboard in our bedroom by the weekend so that I can carry on with the loft. There's so much up there that I might need to stop numbering!

    Out:

    A couple of magazines I bought back from the caravan.

    4 medication applicator things. I seem to be stockpiling them and I have a new one with each tube of cream.

    20. I went through the tiny cupboard in our porch and found a few DIY transfers in there (not even sure what they are actually!) covered in dust and so I binned them. Again they must have been from former owners.

    Rubbish and recycling is being picked up today, it's such a relief when they go.

    Mine was an actual physical in-tray on my desk at home. But had barely any papers in it, lol. It was mostly bits of old mobile phones and various cables, chargers and wires. I've been meaning to sort it for months :o

    Half the bits were for handsets that are long gone, and mostly obsolete. Ill stop collecting these now. How many pairs of earphones does one person need? I also have some in th office although I do use those for conference calls, can't be tucking a phone under my ear for an hour!
