    Hey guys and gals

    We made the weekly email :T
  • Day 15
    Wednesday is always a struggle with an 11hr shift. Sadly I've only made a donation of a load of paper to recycling. Paper that had been annoyingly loitering at the bottom of a wardrobe I hasten to add.

    What I did manage to achieve was a bit of office decluttering in work to scratch the itch!!

    Just one for me today... decluttered a navy cardigan that stretched sideways but didn’t reach my wrists (came from charity shop so back it will go in the hope that someone with shorter arms will love it!)... the replacement from eBay a while back fits now. Into the charity bag it goes.


    My two largest skirts have their days numbered as I can just about take them off without undoing the zip :T:j. The charity bag is calling them!

    Didn't post yesterday and decluttering has slowed down but have done some daily which is good.

    112-113 remains of candles
    114 another sock with holes in it. I must be getting to the end of them by now.
    115 a Bottle of gin used up and recycled. It had been lying about in the kitchen for a while with one large drink in it.

    Just to keep the momentum going, I had a bash at the under sink cleaning cupboard. Lots of half used bottles of things so I combined them in one bottle where there were duplicates and threw out at least 6 used and useless sponges and cloths. Why was I keeping these?! Also to the chaz went a sofa throw and 5 tops I'll never get into again.

  • Progress report on my 4bags a month target.

    3 bags of books sold for 60euros I'm counting them as one bag
    I bag of magazines to a friend -English mags here are very dear and few of actually buy them new so they get passed around and around.
    1 bag of plastic bags to the same friend who gave me loads of stuff in those bags to take to the charity shop for her. Again we here in France have had to pay a lot more for these bags than in the UK ans for a longer time so we , well some of us, make sure they get plenty of use.
    4 used tyre that I am counting as a bag
  • Whoops
    a used tyre that has been in the garage for 2 years thinking it might come in handy( lol).We kept this from a puncture that meant a replacement tyre and here we had to replace the pair to allow even wear - safety-I think.
    So I will count that as space well gained in the garage and also pleased that it was DH that suggested it.
    Still working on a bag of rags.
    Keep up the good work, everyone. I'm sorry if I've missed thanking you all - miss a day or two on the site and the pages have shot up. Bye for now.
