I’ve dipped in and out before but I’ve got to get properly motivated now. I brought so much stuff with me on my last move and it just needs to go now. I don’t want my kids to have the hassle of it. I’m aiming for 2018 in 2018.Magnolia Stellata0

Ok here goes, I’ve been busy. All to CS.
1-25, tops and sweaters I used to wear to the office when I was thin.
26-46, random stationery ie staplers notebooks scissors etc, I had far too much.
47-50 kitchen plastic storage set
51, unused Xmas toiletry gift
52-55 cookbooks off lounge shelves
56 a steam iron
57 a set of hand weights
58 annoyed me, a small half round table; the first CS refused it as it wasn’t new. Second shop liked it tho. It was heavy to lug about.
It’s a start. Going to ring round tmoro and see if anyone will take the spare bed, it hasn’t shifted on freegle.
Getting there.Magnolia Stellata0
