Big flinging session in the kitchen yesterday. This is what made it into the bin, I have a box of stuff to go to the charity shop as well!
254-258 - 5 empty sweet tubs
259 - Bottle of sticky stuff remover (I hate the smell)
260 - Tin of Neutral shoe polish partly used but no idea when
261/262 - 2 old battered fairy cake trays where were too shallow (I prefer muffin tins)
263 - Grill pan (brought from our old house in 2004) which was rusty and I can't remember the last time I grilled something! I bake everything in my remoska or fry bacon in my ceramic frying pan!
264 - Battered Storage box which just looked terrible
265/266 - 2 bamboo utensils. I didn't like using them and they were splintering
267 - Edible glitter (best before end of April) as I won't be baking DD's birthday cake this year again
268/269 - Cookie cutter/punches which said "Eat me" and "Homemade". Loved the idea but they were a nightmare to clean
270-275 - 6 jelly tubs with lids (bought from A$da) they leaked and were growing icky things from the 1 and only time they were used.
276-280 - 5 steam mop cloths for the steam mop that died the other week.
281 - Broken plastic pot I'd been using for storage
282 - Wire food bag ties
283 - Thin food bags which I never use
284 - 1 odd plastic knife
285 - Bandage scissors given to us by my ex-mil before I moved in here. I used to use them to cut the skin off chicken.
286 - Random medicine spoon (I have 3 in the medicine box already!)
287 - Damaged rolling pin (no idea what happened to it, but it was dented and had splinters)
289-291 - Icepacks bought for DD to use when taking chilled stuff to school for cookery. She no longer does cookery so don't need them any more. They were also whiffy
292 - ice pack from the inside of a sports bottle we no longer have
293 - bag resealer from Kl33n3ze. I just couldn't get on with it and it didn't seal stuff so I binned it.
294-297 - Flexible chopping boards that I couldn't stand. I tried, I hated them *fling*!
298 - Pathetic icecube tray that came with my fridgefreezer (I have 2 better ones)
299 - Plastic storage cup which leaked and I haven't used in years
300-303 Plastic tumblers which we no longer use but were too scratched to donate
304 - broken router
305 - Smartprice sports bottle used once and found lurking in the back of the cupboard
306-310 5 round plastic storage food tubs (really cheap ones designed to be disposable) with their lids
311 - Bottle of wood floor polish (bought in error, I thought it was just a different scent) which made the floor too slippery for the dog to walk on
312 - Accessory from the steam mop
313 - Hob cleaning stick (just messy and horrible to use)
314 - Damaged placemat which was used for crafts
315/316 - 2 water refill jugs for irons. We never use them, always use a normal jug as you can fit more water in one!
317 - Almost empty bottle of mould killer (as in dregs, no idea why I kept it!)
318 - Broken torch/light thing (batteries put with the others waiting to be recycled)
319 - Bottle of limescale remover. No idea how long it's been under the sink but the spray part had started to perish and wasn't working :eek:
320 - Tin of stain remover for the carpet. Awful product
321 - Empty tub of ant powder (or it was so damp it had stuck together)
322 - Perished/mouldy heavy duty rubber gloves
323 - Rehydration crystals for the dog which were out of date
324 - Bandage used from when he wore the cone of shame
325-327 - 3 damaged dog toys
328-331 - 4 handwarmers which didn't work very well
332 - a broken cheap bubble gun
333 - a grooming brush which the dog hated and scratched him
334 - Curtain wire
335 - automatic spray airfreshener thing which was rusty on the inside. I kept the cans and will use them up as normal airfreshener
336/337 - 2 glass candle sticks which were chipped due to the way they were stored
338-340 - 3 individual tealight holders also chipped
341 - small storage box which has gone icky which contained the glass candle sticks/tealight holders
342-345 - 4 small candles in jars which were burnt down or had grown ick on them
346-356 - individual tealights which were icky
357/358 - 2 tinned candles which were burnt down.
There was more but I can't read my own handwriting:rotfl: I'm hoping to get to 504 before the end of the month to be on target for the year.
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0
