When you are having these clearouts, I dont get tired of saying it, do try Freecycle. I have sent another person away happy with some trees and cuttings that we didnt want.. Passed on a market stall a fortnight ago. Have more so called junk that will be advertised soon and I am certain it will go.

I'm too scared to move. We've been in this house for 33 years and I dread to think what it would be like to have a clear out. Especially with an OH who's a hoarder. We did get a rubbish skip a couple of months ago and it's very liberating to throw out loads of stuff. They're like bottomless pits - you just keep throwing stuff in and it never seems to get full:-))

Rose, if you find any £20 notes you don't want I wouldn't like to see them wasted!!! Or even £5s!

It's amazing what you find in your desk drawers lol, all sorts of family tree stuff, messages you've printed off and forgotten about from a few years back. Still can't find those hairdressing scissors though lol.
