October Declutter - Day 4, 11th/12th October

Today’s items were gleaned from all over the house over the weekend. I combined the 2 days as we had been out and about. I had intended on concentrating on one room at a time, but as I was up in the loft I found a couple of bits and also some in the spare bedroom that I’m trying to tidy up ready for my 6-month old grandson to stay tomorrow.

 

From top left:

 

A giant Nemo balloon that has lost its buoyancy. We bought this for the baby, but the gas has nearly all gone and he doesn’t float any more. This I will have to pop and see if I can use any of the bits in my crafting. If not it will have to go in the rubbish bag.

 

A black panther soft toy. This I found in a bag in the loft. It’s not needed so I will give it to the charity we support for their soft toy tombola in November.

 

I also found the other soft toy with it, so that will also go to the charity.

 

A metal tin. Useful to put things in, but I have hundreds of such receptacles! My mum will have this, she’s always after more storage containers.

 

A babies’ names book. My daughter had this before she had the baby, and we don’t need it now. I will take this along to Oxfam.

 

A ‘chick novel’ – this has been read by me and my daughter, so we don’t want to hang on to it. I will take this along to Oxfam too.

 

A lavender bag that has lost its smell. It is made really nicely, but as it has no smell it isn’t much use. I will put this in the textile recycling bag.

 

A sympathy card with CD. I bought this earlier in the year as an emergency card, but I managed to make one so I don’t need this one any more. I will take this to Oxfam.

 

A velvet type scarf. This was a birthday present from someone a few years ago. I have never worn it as I don’t really wear scarves, so I’ll take it along to Oxfam as well.

 

A fun bag. I bought this in Marbella, Spain, as I needed something on the spur of the moment. Used it for one week then it got relegated into the loft. I will put this on Freecycle.

 

That concludes the weekend’s finds. A few more unwanted things gone from the house and it is beginning to look a bit tidier!
