Slow journey but it all matters.

Yes, it doesn't matter how many things go each day - as long as there is a continuous flow out, a difference will be made.

OH has moved a number of his things out over the past few days and I can feel my tension has eased. Funny how "stuff" can be so stressful.

Just a few more from me:-

2 x cordless phone shoulder rests - unfortunately had to go in bin
1 x plastic pot into recycling
1 x metal nail file into metal recycling box to go to tip

Running total 59/2018

Another chest of drawers sorted through. 20 bits for the bin. Plenty for the charity shop too, but will count those later. A few things from the garage away to the dump also.

Well done! I have been encouraged by your start to get going again and see what I can manage. As my name shows we emptied 42 years worth when we moved here . I am a fan of our local charity shops and the stuff keeps growing. Here goes.
1-50 books to CS
50-62 French books to French charity shop
62-67 old knickers to rag recycling.
