    I love that Jwil, de-clutter the papers and then de-clutter the entire filing cabinet :rotfl:. That will free up some floor space :).

    Yes, and I also doubled my money on the filing cabinet as I bought it cheap at a car boot sale several years ago :beer: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thank you :) It's been planned for a long time, just got round to doing it.

    I've never donated to a refuge. I do know where the local one is, but that's through work and don't think they allow people to turn up or publicise the address for security reasons. I think the best thing to do would google them and phone them, then they'd be able to tell you where and how.

    We've got a couple of local charity shops that we have a pretty good relationship with, and we know what they accept, so they get most of our donations.
