Evening,

Had some progress today.

11 books sold to one of those online things. In the car to be dropped tomorrow.

Total = 32 items

New total 953!

Got another box of books to go. I will update that total when they do leave the house.

I'm going to look in the garage over the weekend. I need some pots and seeds to go to one of the centres I work at. They have a dedicated garden. x

1. DO NOT PUT OFF TO TOMORROW WHAT CAN/SHOULD BE DONE TODAY
2. WRITE AND USE “TO DO LISTS”
3. LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
4. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
5. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’

Wednesday has been a dry, bright & sunny day but cold 🥶 I did 2 loads of washing & put out on whirligig to air before being put in the td. Now folded & put away. I also went to sm for a small food shop & treated myself to a tray of primrose plants - go me :j which will be planted tomorrow. DH did a spell of gardening :T

Dinner was pork steaks, boiled potatoes (los bagged & frozen), baked tomatoes, broccoli & mushrooms & boiled fresh carrots. Trying very hard to up our vegetable intake :rotfl:

196 - 208 Three newspapers, plastic bottle, plastic tub & lid, plastic tray, cardboard packaging, handful of leaflets, 3 magazines, glass jar & metal lid, bag of recycling from DH’s office - Recycled
209 - 218 Bag of kitchen detritus, bag of garden detritus, 7 empty compost bags, manky sponge cloth - Binned. I am now back on track :j as I need 6 items per day to reach/pass my 2020 target

Good work villagelife :T

I did catch up EssexHebridean :j - rather chuffed with myself :rotfl:

Great work short_bird :T

Box of clothes to chaz, I found I couldn't part with a lot of the things in the wardrobe but there's at least 20 items gone. 4 things posted to eBay buyers. Bottle of fizz to birthday friend (regift from Xmas). Bag of shredding to tip. 2 duff lightbulbs to tip in fluorescent bin.

Not much done but

257 a mug to work.
258 virtually empty bottle of flat coke recycled. It had been sitting on the side in the kitchen for a week!
259 empty bleach bottle. I've been waiting to see if anyone else would bin it . The answer 3 weeks later is no. DS1 used up the bleach I think.
260 a sock with a hole in.
