A cardboard box with recycling is all I could muster.

Only managed ^^^ today as been at work and tired/lazy and want to watch trolls with DD (Not that that's an excuse)

Thanks Edwink for the tip about out of date veg seeds Do birds eat flower seeds? I have a whole drawerful.
103 warm cary to CS- I don't like the colour
104 another similar colour very think and a pain to dry.
105-109pairs of worn out manky gardening gloves
110pile of used white envelopes -no idea I had these or why
111 pile of unused postcards from holidays going back years
112 pile of unused birthday cards with above to CS
Flushed with success with cards I am going to attempt to get two pretty boxes worth into one. When out and about ,if I see a pretty card I buy it and then look through my stash when I need one,but as we all know they do all accumulate.

As long as they are small enough and not whole sunflower seeds because they can't eat the husks apparently. Although saying that its funny when I have planted sunflower seeds in my garden they get dug up by the pigeons and eaten. The ones I threw on the garden were really tiny seeds like carrot and leeks. Mr & Mrs blackbird and the Robins went for those.

HTH

Have done some more decluttering today but not much so will list those later in the week when I have gathered some more to go.

:rotfl: A colleague had to help someone clear out a haberdashery shop upon retirement. She sent me a message asking if I wanted any yarn (luckily I don't sew as well). Had to sit on my hands and give myself a good talking-to not to reply that 'perhaps I would pop round just to have a look'.

I buy bird seed for garden birds from my local RSPB centre and often get sunflower seeds with husks - empty husks below feeders:cool:

I am not counting individual items......too many! But trips to book and clothing weigh in,CS and Recycle centre this week. Also fed the log burner with loads of paper work and photos of places and people I can't remember

Hope i am not too late to join in. I have spent years browsing the forums but never really done much posting or joined any of the challenges. I have decided that this year i am going to get stuck in really challenge myself.

My fiance and i live in a decent sized 4 bedroom detached house but we have already outgrown it so this looked like a pretty good challenge for me to start with.

I have already sold a few bits on eBay this year and have some bags of old clothes ready to go to the charity shop so will count them up when i get home from work later and post my first tally of what i have gotten rid of so far.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
