Using the room for this purpose has created a domino effect which at its other end has meant that there is now a decent space for cat's food and litter in "back-room" - previously it was really squeezed in and was a constant source of irritation to me ... Backroom - although far from big - now feels much more spacious....
Soooo....

HelloIn the bin today a bag of waste/rubbish from DH's shed and some old carpet that I have cut up into bite size pieces ( have a lot more of it to go but I will put in a few at a time as we have no idea when we will get to the tip ). He has also thrown out 2 electric heaters, neither are working, but we will wait for the scrappy man to come around for them. Into recycling 3 plastic containers also from DH's shed and an ice cream one whose contents were finished off by moinanFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently9
