And that's another one gone.
The bin by my chair was full - so that's been knotted, taken out, and replaced withan empty bin bag.

We just lugged some stuff to the charity shop before our walk on the beach front. It was two pictures, a dress and two tops and some ornaments I didn't want. I also dropped off some wine bottles for recycling.8

I've been up and filled a carrier bag with some of the gubbins that fell out of the bin bag.

Morning all xx
I sorted through the second bag of gubbins last night and did the same:
Broken toys / bits of toy - binned
Decent toys - cs
Part sets - put to one side
So I now have a carrier bag of 'waiting to see if my mates turn up' as the lunch box wasn't big enough to hold them all. And the bin beside my chair is nearly full again. I recycle what I can though.
And I'm up early because I left the next bin bag to be sorted on the landing ready to bring down and as soon as I woke up it started shouting me! I'm here. What's in me? That sort of thing.
It looks like more paper - bills etc plus my Cursillo file, and old letters. This may take a while. But I've rolled up my sleeves and I'm going in.
Have a good day

Just coming up for air.
I'm still wading through the contents of the bag. 2005!
I have a pile for paper recycling, a pile for card recycling, and a pile for shredding.
Numerous bits and bobs ie key ring, badge, brooches - cs
So far in the keep pile there's:
4 bookmarks
A pen
A paperclip
A heart shaped stone
A hand-stitched cross brooch
And I've just discovered photos of my school reunion in 2004 or was it 2003?
Time for another brew methinks

ETA I forgot to say: my waste bin is over flowing with non recyclable stickers, envelopes etc

That is great @QueenJess. My DiL company has a bit of a more relaxed attitude while she is working at home is a great help to DiL with intermittent breaks for feeding baby etc.
Fab to see all the decluttering going on here.
Family situation eased a bit with 'friend ' of BiL and SiL handed them back her key after she feels BiL lied about something very serious. I think he got himeself mixed up, babbled incoherently and she didn't clarify. We think he has onset of vascular dementia which is to be confirmed. So the situation has temproarily eased with future drama to follow.
So a great day yesterday. In the morning had GS4 for a few hours. He is a cutie and no trouble.
In between dropping him off and going to the CS I dropped off library books, picked up euros at the PO and posted some online sales. I dropped 6 bags off at two charity (5 in and outs including 3 of the CS's own stuff for Chrimble) Numbers updated.
Finally out in the evening to a friends house for a birthday and pre holiday meetup. On the way dropped off 2 large bags of plastics to the supermarket and a present to the party.
Right. Its raining and I have some ends to sew into DD blanket before she takes it back to Manchester tonight.
