    This afternoon while DH was watching the rugby I took myself off upstairs and sorted through all my clothes and now have two full black bin bags to go to the CS.  It seemed to be a combination of things that are either too big (because of weight loss that I'm not complaining about :) ) or just never get worn.  On the plus side, I can now get into some things that were too small before, so it feels like a new wardrobe.  I've also condensed T-shirts and tops from two drawers into one using the Marie Kondo method - it works!  A couple of items have found their way onto the sewing pile for minor alterations.

    There's also two large boxes to go, one of knitting magazines, the other the last of my hardback books/video tapes.  Plus a small box of assorted bric a brac.  Good job DS is on hand with his car!

    Tonight we're having a picky tea so that will minimise odds and ends from the fridge and after that DH and DS will be watching the France v England rugby that I may watch (whilst knitting) or I might just have my nose in a paperback.
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.
