October Declutter - Day 5, 13th October
Today I found various bits and pieces in a box in the garage that my sister had donated for a charity event. These were some of the leftovers. Plus I’d had a sort out in the spare bedroom wardrobe, which is where the animal books, coat hangers and shoeboxes came from.
Clockwise from bottom left:
Farmyard jigsaw puzzle. I bought this to go in a shoebox gift, but it is too large to go in as well as all the other bits I want to put in. I am donating this to another freecycler who will put it in her church Christmas fair.
Various educational books for GCSE and AS level. I have no use for these so they will also go to the church fair.
A bag of coat hangers, the plastic and metal hook type you get given when you buy an item in a shop. We have hundreds of coat hangers so can afford to lose these. I put them on Freecycle, but there were no takers. I ended up giving them to a lady who takes clothes to a homeless shelter – they hang all the clothes up so these should come in useful.
Shoeboxes: I am doing shoebox gifts for Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child, and was given these to fill. I had already got my quota of shoeboxes and won’t have enough to fill these as well. I offered these on Freecycle too and they were taken within the hour!
Various video tapes, given to me by my sister for the charity. As they have hundreds already and these didn’t sell, I’ve offered them on Freecycle. These were taken by the same lady who wanted the shoeboxes. She will be taking them to her church Christmas fair.
Another china teapot from when I collected them. This was taken by a freecycler.
An earring holder. In with the stuff my sister gave us that didn’t sell. Off to the church Christmas fair too.
A pill box with the days of the week on it. I had this when I needed to take iron tablets earlier in the summer. I no longer need to use it now, so I’m donating it to my mum, who needs a new one.
SIM card for mobile. Given in with stuff from my sister. I don’t need it and won’t use it, so it will go along to the church fair too.
Eye mask for sleeping on a plane. Again in with stuff from sister, and going to church fair.
Two animal books. I bought these from a charity shop sometime and was going to alter them and make them into mini scrapbooks, but I don’t think I’ll ever get around to it. These went to the church fair too.
Another hodge-podge of bits and pieces today, but they all go towards the grand total of 100 items that will be gone from my house by next weekend!
