    Back again after a little break. Got a bag to go to the CS and another bag filling with books for the shelf at work. Been a bit slow as I have been doing fitness training for the Moonwalk instead.

  • Yes, I could have saved and added it to the box of used calendars that DD sends us with photos of our UK region.....but it wasn't pretty and too big for my handbag. Good idea though!
    Now off to clean and declutter. Perhaps I should start with the box of calendars.:D

    12/52 - I've FINALLY used up some fancy face wash (after 2+ years of it sitting in the shower) and binned the bottle. Again this seems a bit minor but it took a really concerted effort and I'm chuffed.
  • 212-213 Two plants - not dead to CS . They were presents and as I can't seem to keep plants alive , we decided to donate them while still alive , but without flowers.
    214 small makeup sample used up and now in bin.
    I was in my CS today and it was announced that next Wednesday will see the summer stock on the rails, but I am trying to avoid the temptation as it is de-cluttering, not re -cluttering. However I will still pop in on Saturday as usual. Must be strong!

    Went through the large felt tip pen/crayon/pencil box, threw away lots of non working pens etc.
    Sending some of them to church.

  • Thanks, MrsSD, you have been working very hard at the decluttering and once started it's hard to stop. See you soon.

    13/52 - old toilet bag and some unwanted cosmetic items in the bin. Rather than buy a new one I decided to use a freebie of my OHs (not as pretty and not my colour but using something we already had feels good). And 2 broken glasses also binned.
