October Declutter - Day 3, 10th October 2008
Here are Day 3’s offerings.
7 mugs of varying sizes and patterns. None of these match and yesterday we bought 2 sets of 4 that match, so we don’t need these any more. There are only 2 of us after all! These will be offered on Freecycle – if there are no takers, I’ll take them to the Oxfam charity shop next week.
A dozen plastic plates, not the disposable sort, the kind you use on picnics. I think I had these for when I did refreshments for an annual charity event. Someone else took over and I was left with these. We don’t use them so might as well find them a new home. I’ll Freecycle them or let Oxfam have them.
A box of drawer liners with one missing. These have been in a drawer for ages and have mostly lost their smell. I don’t actually like the pattern on them so wouldn’t use them. I’ll Freecycle them or take them to Oxfam.
A novelty headband with Devil’s horns. This was given to me by my sister for a charity tombola, but I don’t think it’s suitable. It needs 2 batteries, and lights up when switched on. As Halloween is coming up, I’ll offer it on Freecycle. Somebody might like it.
A nursery rhyme jigsaw with big pieces. I bought this at a charity shop when I was doing altered art jigsaw pieces. I also bought about 6 other jigsaws with even larger pieces, and have only ever used about 6. So this one can find a new home in Oxfam as I don’t need it.
3 diet books on the GI diet. I haven’t followed this diet, so might as well get rid of these books. I was successful when I went to a slimming club, and when I decide to lose weight again I will follow the club’s diet again.
An empty bathroom cleaner bottle. We had 2 of these on the go in the bathroom at the same time, and this one only had a few drips left in it, so I emptied them into the other one and disposed of this plastic bottle in the local council’s recycling bag.
2 small Tupperware containers. I don’t really need these any more and can’t think of anything to do with them except offer them on Freecycle, or give them to Oxfam.
A jumper that has stretched in the wash. It doesn’t fit me any more, it got stretched widthways and looks far too baggy, so I will put it in the textile recycling bag. Our local recycling facility has a bin for textiles so next time I am passing I will put it in.
And finally – a cat identity tag. Don’t ask me why I’ve even got this because I don’t have a cat! I think I bought it for some craft project or other and it seemed a good idea at the time! I think Oxfam will benefit from this item.
Just goes to show what weird and wonderful stuff I hang onto that I don’t need any more. Thank goodness for Freecycle and charity shops is all I can say!
