started on the attic room. Lots of waste paper and saved schoolwork from DD's junior days - she is now in yr 9 so it can all go. Miniature Tudor bed and a papier mache model of a river estuary bye bye!!
Found several hardboard backs from picture clip frames where the glass has broken - we must have thought that they might come in handy!!!

Can I join please? Halfway through big house clear out pre retirement - but husband is a big hoarder / book buyer. Books!! The only way I have successfully free cycled some is to offer 'collections' eg Dickens, Thomas Hardy, but who wants 10 copies of The Wasteland or the Book of Common Prayer?

1. Two trays of papers – filed / put in confidential waste
2. 1 bag unwanted clothing – recycling
