2018 - No Clutter To Be Seen

I took another 2 bags yesterday and 2 bags today to the charity shop full of books and children's jigsaws and games. The 5 year old has spotted some of the bags in the hall ready to go and is objecting strongly to me throwing out his stuff even though it's things he doesn't use any more. Kids!
I haven't kept count of how many individual things are in the bags but if I can make some progress every day I'll be winning.0 -

bit by bit, rather than using 2018 as the number perhaps use 52? So 11/52 is great going!:T
I have gone the route of 2018 & count absolutely everything:o as I need to keep motivated. I also need to start posting again as I have been rather remiss lately (ooh er - I have not posted since the 17th Feb:eek:)
The two large bags of cs stuff will be delivered today & I will get back on the bandwagon!

7/52 - Box of Quality street - some toffee chopped into a banana loaf, the rest shared out at work and the tin recycled.
It doesn't seem like much but I'm proud of this one!0 -

Thanks for the advice Mrs Salad Dodger. I wasn't trying to get 2018 bags out tho'. I think my signature is badly written. I like the idea of the out of 52 though. I think I will manage that this year.Wife, mother, gardener, nurse, Big C survivor.
