This post is going to be a long list – sorry!

Day 23 I got rid of:

1. Some coat hangers – given to friend.
2. Some plastic wine glasses – charity shop
3. Some more greetings cards – charity shop
4. A suncatcher – charity shop
5. A picture frame – charity shop
6. Some gift bags – charity shop
7. A DS Game – charity shop
8. A set of masks to make – charity shop
9. A curtain track – charity shop
10. A couple of sew on patches/motifs – charity shop
11. Some more cotahangers – charity shop
12. A Nike waterproof never worn – charity shop
13. 2 glasses which have been stuck together for months – recycled
14. half a solid bag of cement – landfill
15. A load of run out pens – landfill
16. Some broken golf tees – landfill
17. General usesless bits and bobs from drawer clear out – landfill
18. A broken tape measure
19. Some odd greetings cards without envelopes – recycled
20. some wallpaper offcuts – recycled
21. Some pictures/craft projects done by my kids (I know, I know… but they do so many and if I kept them all I’d fill my entire house with them. Anyway they are not their stuff!) – landfill
22. A mess of tangled thread – burnt
23. Half a dozen squirty bottles of children’s paint – used up by splashing/spreading over the walls of the potting shed. It does look nice and colourful now!

Day 24 – The big garage sort out begins.

This is all rubbish – I’ve recycled where I can, burned things which will not cause too much pollution and put the rest in the dustbin.

1. Dried up glue
2. Bits of Cable
3. Flooring underlay with mouse nibblings
4. A broken foot pump
5. A broken decorators spatula/knife/spreader
6. A mouse nibbled shower curtain
7. A frayed and mouse nibbled rug
8. Some broken hose fittings
9. A broken tennis racquet
10. Some mouse nibbled sponges
11. An empty cable reel
12. Several bits of strummer line too short to do anything with
13. A broken chicken feeder
14. A rusty filler gun
15. Some plastic spoons so brittle that they snapped very easily
16. Some plastic bowls
17. Several hard paint brushes
18. An almost empty tin of ancient paint stripper
19. Some mouse nibbled polythene dust sheets
20. A cracked cricket ball
21. A mouse nibbled plastic table cloth
22. Some solid filler
23. A pair of crumbly rubber gloves
24. A broken garden bird feeder

Mouse nibbling seems to be a recurring theme here. Note to self: I must make sure my bee frames and other equipment are in a vermin proof cupboard/trunk. I imagine beeswax is a bit of a delicacy for mice.

 

Completely randomly I have decided to put a photo of Batibou beach in dominica on today…enjoy!
