The current 'flotsam' is some large pieces of fabric that need to be used/donated/found a home

Hi, do you have any ideas for where I can donate the 2 large pieces of fabric that I found? Could just freecycle I suppose, but would rather a charity would take them. I did take some smaller pieces to the textile bank last week but these are really too good to potentially go for ragging.

choose wisely I thing you have found some real treasure there! If you are looking to get rid, consider looking online for guidance on prices for the Take That, Sindy & Barbie stuff and the typewriter ( or maybe offer that to your local Blind Society?)

Thanks, DD had told me they were not worth anything. I did have a quick look on the bay last night and there is a potential for selling. I will check with her when she comes over later.

Anyone have suggestions for 2 dozen flat terry nappies, unused for intended purpose as a fractured vertebra in labour meant that I couldn't put any pressure on the pins and then I got used to disposables.

Looked in the poundla d on way to work , no Delia boo !!! Just sat here today thinking that the one o the retail park has shut down, when I realised it has moved to next door to where I work!! Albeit on the other side to where I go in. So will check there on Tues. Thanks grunnie.

Wednesday - sending hugs.

Got up late, so only just had brekkie, I will put a colour on my hair and tidy the house whilst it develops.

Kittie - love the rug.
Choose wisely- I'm in awe of your memory! Mines shocking!
GQ - get the behind me satin ! :rotfl:gave me a giggle.

After KDing a Saturday morning club at the beginning of the year, DD1 is now doing GCSE PE and wants to keep her netball skills up so she can get a good grade. She is by no means the next England player but wants to do well. So the only training nearby that doesn't clash with everything else we do is, you've guessed it, a Saturday morning!


I know I moan as it messes up my routine but I am glad she is thinking ahead. However, it is also at a sixth form centre and one of them places where it is a waste of time for me to come home just for the 30 mins before I set off back to collect her. With this in mind I have decided to 'take' some small KD with me. E.g. I've put all the pens drawer stuff in a bag and will sit going through it!


If you've any other ideas for small things I can do in future weeks then I am open to offers... not really too keen to do things like my undies drawer though as in a public place!!

The other things can be taking a notebook and pen and writing shopping lists, gift lists etc - or even a ToDo list of your next Kondo!

Fabric - check if a local school etc would take them

Hmm find out if a women's refuge would want them?

Small piles of paperwork - take 3 carriers - keep/ recycle/ shred. Obviously still need to go through the 'keep' pile and action/ file etc another time, but it reduces the volume in meantime

Photos - possibly 3 piles again - keep for you/ keep to give to someone else (eg: pics of an aunt to a cousin)/ go

Notebook to do action plans of what to KM and when

Sewing stuff

If you have small bits of sewing (mine always end up with Cubs/ Scouts/ swimming badges) - take those with you and do. Also works with missing buttons etc.

choose wisely again eb@y may be your friend for green mums

Also, maybe offer to split the proceeds of any toy sales with your DD?

MrsPorridge, my friend has just rung and asked me to take her to Paddington2! The nearest cinema is closing middle of next week and the new one opens in a fortnight. Anyway, I am only avail on Tuesday next so hope that will be OK (am waiting to get through on phone, she's nattering to someone else atm!).

Curtains gratefully accepted in local AgeUK shop, along with a wheeled shopper I used to use for stock when I sold pretty notebooks and other stationery.

Am currently eyeing up 4 dining chairs to go ... ... they are very modern and take up a lot of space that we haven't got. DH resorted to putting one upsidedown on another as his chairdrobe but that is just an eyesore :mad:
I have browsed the web and found 3* replacements that would be perfect with the new table (promise to stop mentioning it!). The possible replacements are stacking chairs but in a lovely upholstery of a colour that looks like aged leather. Now i don't want you imagining school chairs, these are rather posh-looking. In fact I was doubtful whether they would stack when i read the blurb, but the pics are there to prove it.
*3 only, because I have a 'Balans' folding 'posture' chair that I can use, thus our chair inventory is kept to a minimum. We can only accomodate 4 for a sit-down meal in dining/kitchen

Am about to swap a couple of pictures round and see how they look. I was given the most fab felt picture of a sleeping Fox, curled up in the bottom of some bushes. I think i have spotted the right location for it. Involves another little shuffle of pictures but fingers crossed that the moves will work out:)

Mrs Porridge, OH are planning on going to see Paddington2 next weekend and we're 50s with no kids..


Tibawo, are you a reader? Do you have books you want to KM which need reading first, you could tackle one 30 mins at a time in the car if you run out of better KM wins.
