jacwins

35 - book sold and collected

Ideas - put a n other toy on selling site (photo taken), do a bag full of shredding, spend 10 mins going through my letters etc in the kitchen (school newsletters etc), sell / CS baby cooking books, making jam tarts with jams in fridge that don't get used and lard (one of the ingredients we had to buy for food nutrition) batch 1 made, no jam finished yet.
Listed - children's hangers x16 free, 3 hoodies (put on other sites too now)
Not decluttering but I got around to printing some photos for the photo frame that is up in the hall.

Current totals 35/2020 5/52

Im back on it a bit carefully after having put my back out and then spent another couple of days in bed with a long standing problem too.
Decluttered a whole bunch of store cupboard goodies into a cake which I took to a friend who invited me to lunch. Then 5 unwanted Xmas gifts to the chaz and sold 6 items on eBay unexpectedly, they'd been sat there for ages. That's 15 things gone.

I had a top to bottom house clean on Saturday (but I will forgive you for not believing me if you see the house today), I managed to fill a large bin bag of rubbish and a large bag of recycling for the green bin, just general stuff like old magazines, papers and containers.
I have also recently:
- used up sample size shampoo's
- used up some sorry looking veg in the fridge, preventing food waste and actually had a healthy meal
- started a charity shop donation bag off, 5 books in it at the moment
- finally hung a picture in my living room so one less item getting in the way and being where it should be

Ok, so storm Brendan allowed for a little more time spent in the black hole that is our walk-in cupboard, lol, and have managed the following -

6 x pillows
2 x mirrored candle sconces (these will go to the next fleamarket)
Another bag of clothes (charity shop)
4 x large boxes
1 x king-size duvet (will get this cleaned & see if it's worth charity shopping)

In addition, we have an Arts & Crafts Movement oak dining table that we no longer need so that will be going on faceache

After days of inactivity, I've got back to it and started on the loft :eek: a morning's work has resulted in: 1 bag plastic recycling, 1 bag paper recycling, 2 bags of rubbish, 2 bags to charity shop, 1 bag for ebaying and 1 bag of carpet samples to go back to the carpet shop. Exhausted but delirious :rotfl: 30/365

Finished a handwash that had been hanging around for ages almost finished - pump in the bin, bottle recycled.
Finished a moisturiser that had been hanging around almost finished. Sadly not recyclable here, so all in the bin
Beads from broken necklace in the bin

Box of books ready to go off to webuybooks tomorrow.

Trying to finish up an almost-empty tube of toothpaste (isn't it funny how long things last when you think they're almost done?).

You could ask at your local surgery the midwife should be able to help.

Thankyou! I didn't think of a facebook group! I'll have a search. I'd be upset if I knitted a pile and they couldn't accept them because I've used the wrong wool or something.


15 Magazines in the 'to go' pile. I'll probably drop them to the drs or dentist.
