Have decided to stop buying things for a while - so nothing coming in minus things leaving the house = less clutter. 

3 jars put into box to take to mothers.
8 jars recycled
2 champagne flutes binned - I hate glasses with stem. 

2 glasses to into boot fair box
2 mugs - boot fair
8 mugs placed into a box - will only get out when extra people come or other ones get chipped. 12 mugs stayed in cupboard. 

Christmas savoury biscuits finished - box and plastic holder recycled. 

Uu foot cream - tube into recycling bin - ready to take to boots or John Lewis to either get points or money back. 

Backs of remaining cards recycled and fronts turned into tags or card toppers. 

Rest of Xmas decorations put away. 

Birthday card - neighbour - written and sent. 

Birthday card and present for friend written and wrapped awaiting to give her. Birthday close to lockdown's next review. 

Envelopes from post recycled. 
Chocolate box recycled. 

Jumper - boot fair
Two 16kg flour sacks recycled
 

Now going back to read 233 posts! (Seven days worth). Taken nearly 3 hours with a couple of breaks. Well done everyone on you achievements so far.

@elsien I love that photo it really made me smile, perhaps you have been ahead of your time with an investment opportunity as they have risen to around 20p each these days lol😂

Keep going all, we will get there. 😅

@Nicnak - chuffed that they came through and collected the chair 👏👏

@elsien I filled 6 bag for life's with carrier bags the other day! I think now we pay for them I don't want to throw them away. Although we've been having home deliveries and they come with tray liners that are pretty useless to reuse, yet the pantry is full of them!

After spending the morning on the sofa undef a blanket, drinking way too much tea, I decided to make a start on the bathroom. So far done shelfs around Bath and one big shelf. 

87 chewed up dog collar (replaced ages ago but old one left on shelf when he was showered)
88-90 old opened creams
91 electric flosser thing, gone a very funny colour.
92-101 various shower gels/shampoos that have been open years and not reused due to kids eczema and things DD1 had left when she moved out almost a year ago. 

Brought the washing down off the airer (it's in the bathroom) and fell on to the sofa with a cup of tea! Will finish it and tackle another shelf.

Not a lot out as it's baking day here, bread, cherry scones, cherry and vanilla cake, cheese & onion pasties and cornish pasties made.
So out is egg carton, tin from the corned beef, used up the cheese that was in the fridge, still got 3 packs in the freezer.

Ooh that sounds delicious. My husband promised to make flapjacks after he'd cleaned the kitchen but it's been 2.5 hours and he's essentially just loaded the dishwasher and eaten some croissants...

Also, before anyone notes that sounds ungrateful, we fight as to who gets to clean the kitchen so they get the time off from the massively over energetic toddler!

@charlies_tribe the problem comes (as I’ve discovered today) when they’re been there for so long they disintegrate. I now have hundreds of tiny white bits of plastic to declutter.
