  • Day 22
    - 1 Gillet into CS bag
    - 1 Jacket into CS bag
    - 1 handful of match attack cards from at least 3 yrs ago into recycling (I have more of these dreadful things on my radar)

    CS run is scheduled tomorrow after school drop off. Its also bin day tomorrow and ours is bursting at the seams with all the rubbish I have disposed of. I reckon another month of eliminating at least 1 item per day and I'll start to feel like proper progress has been made.

    I sorted out a good cupboard in the kitchen and not much binned which is good.

    166 a packet of chicken favouring. I think one of my sons brought it back when they moved back in.
    167 an OOD almost empty box of polenta.
    168 tube,almost finushed, of OOD tomato puree.

    Not much out but pleased that nothing else needed to go.

  • Another 9 items. I'll update my total later as I think more will be added. I did take the bag of charity things straight there this morning.

    I'll add the rest later if I get round to it x

  • Day 23 - charity shop run with all the stuff I'd put to one side since last Thursday plus the following for today:
    - 1 toy pram
    - 1 musical hen house type toy
    - 1 bag of kids shoes (approx 8 pairs ranging from first size to about 2yr old size
    - 1 stray match attack card that escaped my culling yesterday into recycling

    All in all the car boot was full which makes we wonder how we fit it all in!
