:.....I shall be spending the christmas week at the 'rents and Mum has already asked me to sort out The Bedroom Cupboard of Doom and the linens, and I have volunteered to do some additional sorting in her bedroom, which she has seized up gleefull..................….Cannot wait!

:j:j:j looking forward to reading The Continued Adventures of GQ! :T

Today we took a bag of craft books and some Christmas decs over to the CS and have sorted out some hats, gloves and scarves for the night shelter.

DH finally agreed his too short, too tight winter pj jacket didn't fit and makes him grumpy (only took him 2 years to admit it!) so it went into the recycling bag. Result! On the odd days he feels slightly chilly - he is usually impervious to the cold -he can now happily wear a t-shirt .

Three bags of stuff dropped off for the night shelter, and have started putting the CS collection together. I'm going to sort out the Christmas decorations as I put them up, so a few of them might make it in.

A particularly sweet and satisfying Kondo... My daughter has undergone 5 years on the IVF rollercoaster, and her wee babe, my first grandchild was born earlier this week :A

Congratulations wee midgie.
I've treated myself to some new winter tights for work. So I'm off to sort through the tights and socks to see if any can go. I know that a few pairs of tights have holes and bobbles!!!

Another carload to the CS. Most of it from my SIL, but as I was going I said I'd take it. Not finding much stuff now, but I bet things will turn up!

5 Xmas ornaments set aside in a bag for CS - will have to drop them in on Thurs as they won't be open for donations when I finish work tomorrow. 1 Xmas ornament passed onto my mum (no obligation!) 1 secret santa present received by my OH last week and since sold on flebay by me 2 large cardboard boxes broken down for recycling this week. 1 cardboard box and 1 old cotton teatowel used for the coffin of 1 guinea pig who sadly died yesterday :(and has been buried in the pet cemetery in the garden (aka the strawberry patch)

Poor little guinea pig! RIP ...

I was looking at a picture on someone's phone an hour ago of their baby guinea pigs. Their pets were thought to be two boys........ they were a mixed pair. Baby piggies tres cute, tho........:rotfl:

WeeMidgie

Thanks everyone for the good wishes on becoming a granny. Mum, dad and babe are doing fine

My next task will be sending off a box containing my daughter's old Peter Rabbit and Bunnykins china, and a full set of Peter Rabbit books.

Ah, alas poor GP. Even the smallest creature who shares a life with us has a life worth marking with a decent burial. Great use of a cardboard box and tea towel, greent.

Looking forward to reading your updates from the homestead, GQ. The book recycling via kid bruv sounds very logical to me, similarly short of book storage space. I recirculate DVDs promptly too, with just a few keepers.
