Jan 2010 - Day 8
Had a break yesterday as we went shopping and that was enough excitement for one day!
Today’s decluttering was easy: I had a bag of toys in the loft given to me by a Freecycler, but because they were very old and had been stored somewhere damp, most of them were mouldy and smelled. I also had another big sack of toys given to me by my daughter to dispose of. These were given to her by her sis in law and an uncle of her boyfriend’s, and as Harry has millions (so it seems) of toys, these can go.
So..... from top. Big pile of toys my daughter gave me. These will go to Oxfam, or if they don’t take them, I’ll offer them on Freecycle.
Bottom right, pile of toys destined for the bin.
Bottom left – reel of draught excluder. Have had this knocking around for ages in the garage. Hubby has been complaining of the draught that comes through the door from the garage into the kitchen and had asked me to make a draught excluder. While waiting for that to be made, he’d stuffed a fleece blanket under the bottom of the door but it’s not very practical when we keep wanting to go out to the garage. I thought I’d dig this draught excluder out and have a go – and hey presto, no more draughts! Hubby was never one to go for the simplest option first!
It’s day 8 of my challenge and I’ve still got loads of things I want to declutter. I’m waiting for the incessant snow to go, so that I can put things on Freecycle and people will be able to get to us to pick them up. I’ve a feeling this challenge could run a few more days!
