How many bottles of windscreen wash does a one car household need? 

Asking for a friend.

Well.  Let's see... My friend says there's:

• the one in the boot
• the one in the rear footwell in case the boot gets frozen shut
• the one in the house in case ALL the car locks get frozen shut
• the one a friend or relative might need because they're not as well-prepared as you
• the one kept in stock in case you run out

Ooh yes!  PLUS (if concentrated) the diluted one in case the washer bottle runs out on a journey and you have to refill it.  (Although, if you're foolhardy, that could double up with the one in the boot.)  

And, of course, that doesn't apply if you get pre-mixed.

Unless you keep a concentrated one because it's easy to use up the pre-mixed stuff without noticing - and you don't want to risk running out.

How many's that?

I've decluttered myself into furry owners bad books, at 20 years old she is having the odd 'slight' accident when going to the loo, so I've bathed her today, she's been towel dried, then hair dryer on low now she's cuddling up to the radiator.  Bad pet parent that I am.

Day 16 of the Minimalists Challenge turned out to be easy: decluttered my bead collection to a neighbour. At least 71 items!

Phew. That’s all right then. I can tell my “friend” the cupboard full isn’t a problem.
And yes, they were a “bargain.”

I'm always surprised by how fast this thread is moving forwards! Everyone is so busy!

b/f 11/365
Productive morning today.
1 bag of puzzles and 1 bag of clothes to a friend, dropped off on my way to the supermarket - 2 bags
1 bag of kids bedding, 1 bag of socks and a handful of kids books 'sold' on a local free site - 3 bags
Couple of random items in a bag ready to give to the school nursery when it re-opens - 1 bag
A whole load of other stuff listed on the free site, will count it once it leaves the house one way or another though!

@elsien if it's any help I have a "friend" like that, but hers are in the bin cupboard. There are 3 bottles of concentrate and 2 x 2.5L of diluted, plus the emergency bottle of ready mix bought when at the local seaside at New Year. 

I've decluttered the dead electric toothbrush, old router & a dead mobile phone to the tip, and started another tip box with dead bulbs from the outside & landing lights. There have been a couple more things picked up from Fb and some sales on Ebay, and 2 surplus pairs of Converse to my niece & her mum.

Went to the supermarket for milk and noted that the recycle banks had been emptied- yippee - drove home filled up the boot and half the back seat , drove back ...... and they are jammed shut. So drove around 3 other supermarkets until we found a Salvation Army one empty and emptied the whole lot in !

So now I have one empty box in the car, and a charity coming to collect on Friday, so there’s incentive to fill it up again. 

DH couldn’t retrieve any items as they are out the house now. Very pleased!

apparently the charity box was irritating him sitting in the kitchen ..... ( but the loft, shed, wardrobe, cupboards etc etc overflowing with his stuff isn’t bothering him at all ) 🤔
