@Working_Mum thats an impressive list of mostly large decluttered items and a great saving on costs!

Make do
Still working through existing stash of food and toiletries etc
Mend
Stiched the fleece liner back in place in my Fairisle gloves.
Minimised 
Opened a tin of quality street for visiting nephew and niece to demolish.
Finished 2 open bottles of wine from Xmas day.
Bottles recycled. 
Gave my friend a bottle of strawberry flavour wine. It's an unwanted gift. We can't stand the stuff but my friend loves it.

Still biscuits and chocs from xmas to minimise. All were gifts.

An unrepairable leaking kettle and a broken hairdryer are awaiting DS to take them to the electricals recycling point for me.  Not a Minimise in the strictest sense of the word since they've been replaced with new, but at least it adheres to the One In/One Out mantra!     The packaging, however, has gone into the recycling bin as have the manuals for the old ones.

i'd planned a trip to the shops today but didn't, there's more than enough in stocks to use up first so that's another NSD clocked up as well as falling under the Minimise/Make Do categories.  I'm beginning to think this shopping lark is more of a habit rather than a necessity!  Not much left now from the Xmas food apart from braised red cabbage, two packs of which I gave to DS, three cheese truckles and five slices of Stollen that keeps for ages.  Oh, and one (maybe two) glasses of Bucks Fizz.  I might make that disappear this weekend.     

Hairdresser appointment yesterday - lots of hair gone   as well as a fair chunk out of the Hair fund  .  My one nod to vanity though, so it's worth it (to me).
