This afternoon my DH sorted out the books that we have decided we don't want to keep - there are still plenty more to go through!

A few will be passed on, a few are listed on Amazon and so we won't count those until they go out out of the door. We tried we buy books and Ziffit but would only have made a pound or so for the rest, so they're all going to a CS. All 290 of them.

82 - a pair of oven mitts. They'd been put in the cupboard with the toaster before Christmas. I pulled them out while cleaning out the cupboard and they were covered in larvae to what I assume are moths :eek: In the bin they went pretty damn quick _pale_

Not much flinging happening here atm but the pile for the charity shop is growing and I'm hoping to clear some of that out the house tomorrow.
