    Found a pair of J's old work trousers which are way past it - didn't ask as such, just said I was going to put them in recycling. He hesitated but then OK, yes that's fine so another step forward.

    77. Trousers - recycling


    Craftingmad can't imagine having an obsessively tidy husband! Well done to you on getting rid of what you have - that's great :o)

    I'm working on decluttering my work paperwork. Everything will need to be shredded first but I've done 5 months worth so hopefully I will get fully caught up tomorrow and will be able to shred it then get it out the house :D My accordion file is half the size it was this morning :j
