    1080 -1103 catalogues etc to recycling.
    1104 - 1107 plastic recycling to Morrisons

    1108 - 1120 general recycling

    Not much actual decluttering done today. Lots of tidying of the annex where son and his partner are living for the summer before heading back to uni. I listed a few bits of furniture on the local FB sites, a couple are going, a few left still. Will count them once they leave the house. Pulled up a few more of the never ending weeds and got stung by a nettle. Really need to get down to some actual decluttering. :rotfl:

    Woo hoo. I've just returned from a tip run. It feels so good.:j

    I have a new obsession on youtub@. Man Vs carpet. He's an American carpet cleaner and it so addictive and satisfying to watch. I get sadder honestly.:rotfl: I've also been watching videos about the sh@rk stick vacuum. I'm holding out at the moment though.;)

    I've just remembered, DH needs to take the old washer down outside the house for the day and bone man. He will be happy.

    Just housework for me today until hospital time. I may try and declutter some weeds when I get back. It's green bin on Friday and I like to put it out full every fortnight. I have plenty to fill it.

    Tonight I'm going to attack my t shirt draw. It's long overdue and wouldn't take long.

    Anyway back to dragging Henry around and cleaning the kitchen, putting washing out to dry and loading again (if I have enough).

    Have a fab day.

    I've not been buying shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc for ages and am getting through the ridiculous stockpile I had. It feels good to use it up.
    I've just caught up on the latest 70-or-so posts on this thread: you are an inspiring lot! I especially relate to the posts be people who are wading through a sea of toiletries. That's me too. I am determined to use up and not waste them, though I did throw out some razors that always got more skin than hair.

    Yes, I am the same as you two. I used up a face wash today. I have some hair conditioner that I don't like so I will use that up as shaving gel for my legs.

    I threw away some tampons that I found really hard to open. I would like to meet the idiot that invented them!:mad:

    Now there's an idea! Just when I need to buy shaving gel. Thank you. :)

    No decluttering as such today.
    However i took all the stuff that ive been listing as 'CS bag in car' to their destination. This is where im sure i have a hoardy gene, as handing the stuff over for me is that last minute i realise
    '' i could take it home i might need it'' moment
    Truly ridiculous i know. But having a father that was a ''collector'' and a mum that declutters and then promptly rebuys :rotfl: i have the odd s stacked against me:eek:

    I do notice a difference upstairs but still have masses to do.

    202 - 5 things posted which is great. Only little things but it is good to get rid of.

    Top tip. :)

    I used to refill shower gels with bubble bath too - can work out cheaper especially with teens around!
