    I've got someone coming on Friday to fix my sitting room light and they need access to the cupboard under the stairs :/ so I need to get that cleaned out and only have in what I actually need. ... I aready made a start and started finding things I never new I had (2 tents!)
    So my start is clear the understairs cupboard

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    1039 - Rusty chip pan basket (I actually used it for cooking pasta etc) binned when I bought a replacement
    1040 - DD's old school bag & she's using a bag she already has instead of me buying a new one :)
    1041-1063 - packs of catalogues no longer used for work. I buy them as packs of 5 so I'm counting 5 individual ones as 1 item leaving. ;)
    1064 - Main body part of the chest of drawers thats been living in the yard gone with the bin men (I asked nicely)*
    1065 - old sweeping brush which got covered in sewage when our drains backed up went with the bin men*
    1066/7 - old hosepipes which got damaged by the sewage*
    1068 - the broken edging from around the flowerbeds
    1069 - bucket which was covered in sewage also binned*
    1071-1073 - pieces of wood which had been stored in the yard also been in contact with sewage*

    * these items had been covered in disinfectant but just the thought of what had been on them made my skin crawl so I binned them. I then pressure washed the entire yard thoroughly ;)
    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!

    DD sorted her chest of drawers (clothes). Carrier bag full of no longer liked or too small tops and bottoms ready for CS. We can see now what is needed for summer and there is space for those new bits once bought.
