    31. I use a lighter to burn incense and candles and it ran out today.

    32. Old bottle of hand wash that gave me a rash on my hands used up as bath foam. The skin on my body isn't as sensitive as my hands.

    Who is bringing it in, Judi? If it's the offspring can their stuff be immediately banished to their rooms?

    Not really its hubby. He's a hoarder.

  • Just one from me, today, managed to get to the small electrical recycling bank:-

    327. Shredder motor (broken) - recycling

    Liz_M my local Sue Ryder charity shop will take unsaleable clothes (including things like odd socks, holey socks, worn out (CLEAN!!) underwear) and sell them to the rag man - I just make sure it's clean, put it in a separate bag and label it 'rags', and usually tell the staff when I hand the stuff over. My Mum works in a charity shop, and they take rags, too. Ask in your local charity shop, if that's easier for you to get to.
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.

  • 37. Another bag of recycling out - mostly paper and card.

    I can't believe how much paper there is in my home, I think it's breeding. Still lots to tackle but I am beginning to see gaps in the clutter. Keeping a list is really helping me to remember that I am making progress (so I don't get disheartened).
    I need to make a concerted effort on wardrobe this weekend which is still a big sticking point.
