    I've seen sense & added most of the remaining items to the CS pile:

    672. i-duck
    673. draughts set
    674. book mark
    675 & 6. clockwork toys

    Kept hold of the Scrabble & i phone speakers....

    676-739 - 63 items from DS' room - various treasure (fossils, crystals, medallion, key- rings etc) & the shelves it was displayed on. 30 minute decluttering sprints seem to really work with him :T

    Not much going on this end, hence no updates from me for a while :o

    I've just been trying to sort things out for a flat my partner and I have registered our interest in.

    We have handed references to the letting agent so it's just a waiting game now.

    I've bought some nice things to kit out the place with when we do move :D
