    I have 3 bags of donations for my son's school fete including 5 tins of food for the tombola, toys and about 12 books. I also gave my nephew a big bag of clothes/shoes and a wooden car garage and wooden airport set (ELC). Feels good to be decluttering!

    Got rid of loads so going to list them!

    Boxes 16
    Toys 23
    Blinds 5
    Wood 4
    Bags of papers 3
    Locks 10
    Gloves 9
    Clothes 93
    Print cartridges (bags of) 24
    Books 16
    Handbags 5
    4 pairs of pants
    3 pairs of socks

    and a tent, a phone, connector, water heater, boots, fluffy boots, trike, gas fire, metal box file, body board and a computer.

    So 229 + 1170 = 1399 :)

    And no one has noticed anything yet. Strangely although a lot of stuff has gone I don't feel any tidier yet. I think it is because most of that has gone I had hidden away anyway
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    Wow MsC that's really impressive !! You've inspired me to get back to it this weekend. I've done nothing this week so far as I've been busy & fed-up with the weather. :(
