    You're doing better than me, Stellata. Everything out of the door is a win in my book.

    Just 1 item out - some face scrub which has gone solid in the tube - binned

    296 disposable razor with a broken blade binned.
    297-298 sachets of absorbent gel.
    299 rubbish in bottom of laundry bin but did find £1.21
  • Villagelife,
    your 299 reminded me of 59 cents sitting on the food carousel in a mug SO
    cash decluttered into purse
    another load of paper to recycling
    4 library books returned - been sitting there for ages and only took 3 out.
    half packet of crisps left by DD decluttered - yes I ate them.
    load of plant labels into bin
    will tot up on next visit-just had to reply to Villagelife and get up off the sofa to move the cash before I forgot.
