  • A whole load more stuff has left the house today. Quite pleased but there is always the potential for more.

    Are the kids getting rid of stuff too? Or are you just binning Mr Shs's gubbins?

  • The kids have got rid of lots, but they have so much it is obscene.

    Today it was my clothes and colanders. Who needs 4?!

    I'm a total hoarder, ph calls me the womble as I keep stuff for other possible potential uses. Still have nappies in the cupboard and my youngest is nearly five. Maybe I'll find a use for them ?

  • Nappies are good for dressing a horse's poorly hoof, but also the gel can be put in your plant pots for slow release watering.
