2017 - No Clutter To Be Seen

85-6) mobile phone screen protectors
87-95) more dead pens
All in bin.
96-98) hair elastics - that have lost their elasticity - binned
99) leaflet for hair/beauty salon - I was keeping this so I had the phone number, opening hours and price list. The phone number is already stored on my phone and even if it wasn't it would be easy enough to find out. I can phone them to find out their opening hours and/or prices. I took a photo of the front page which gives most of the info I need. I can never find the leaflet when I need it anyway. Put it in recycling.
100) wheelie bin sticker. I'd had this for years - literally. It was in my living room in a cylindrical tube just cluttering. I stuck it on the wheelie bin outside - who knew this was possible
Win, win. Makes it easier to find said bin when it's been out on the town and the sticker isn't living in my living room :j3 stone down, 3 more to go0 -

Proud to have dealt with my debts0 -
Noelphobic I always have a bag set aside for "rags": clothes with rips,stains,not quite good enough to donate for sale,scraps of fabric,etc.Most charity shops accept these to sell them on to textile recycling companies.Socks can be included in these.
It was my partner's birthday today,so not alot done,but I was trying to tidy a few things off the floor of our bedroom.I set aside a few things for donation (will list when they leave the house),and threw out:
1369:a slipper,to go with the one I threw out the other day after they were chewed by a dog we are minding for 10 days :rotfl:
Out for recycling:
1370:pilates bands instructions
1371:Top Model "At Home "sticker book
1372:yet another rock the kids have bought into the house :rotfl:-returned to the garden :cool:SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

After I have today's washing dry I am binning the odd socks.
I've added them to the rag bag and they will go to the rag recycling bin at the local shopping park, I have been known to bring stuff back from the one at the council carpark in town.0 -
