get rid of 100 items

Recommended Posts

:oops: I fell by the wayside a while back! Actually I did take a big bag to the charity shop a few weeks ago, but forgot to list it - must have been at least ten items in there though.

 

A friend is running a charity stall at her workplace to raise funds for the local cat sanctuary, and I have given her quite a lot of nearly new stuff that was in my 'emergency presents' box. Generally if something's been in the box for a couple of years and hasn't found a home, that means I don't like it enough to give it to anyone!

I sold heaps of stuff on ebay a few mths ago, but the fees for ebay and paypal put me off doing it again (oh and the fact that I'd underestimated quite a few of the postage costs!) - so well done you!! If you have quite a few items you need to be really organised and it turned out to be quite a lot of effort for me!

 

11) 2 blankets - given to someone at work

12) 4 mugs - taken into work

13) computer desk - taken to tip

14) bathroom cabinet - taken to tip

15) garden bits - taken to tip

16) various clothes - given to friend

17) remote control car - given to friend

18) 4 board games - given to work colleagues

19) A rather nasty pair of stepsons trainers - binned!!

20) Squeaky old stepper - taken to tip

21) printer - taken to tip

22) picture - binned

23) placemats - binned

24) ornamental coral - given to my nephew

 

I have to work twice as hard at this now to make up for all the new things I got for Christmas!

I found this thead two days ago. I read about 9 pages and then gave up. I thought it was awe inspiing and a really good idea. I was thinking, I could neve find 100 items to get rid of. Also, I haven't got the time to stat clearing out the house looking for stuff to get rid off. Then........... I went to the toilet and as I was sat there :roll: I opened a draw and pulled out:

1. 2 nit combs (we didn't need 3 :roll: !)

2. a mud face mask

3. a bottle opener (not sure why its in the bathroom!)

4. Half used bottle of hair straightening gel

5. Tube of moisturiser

6. bottle of massage oil

 

Then I thought......... maybe I actually could do this. Maybe I coul get to 100. I trundle off to do my hair in the spare room and pulled open a draw.......

 

7. sanctuary body wash

8. sanctuary body scrub

9. sanctuary body butter ........... keeping them all to use one day...... no more..... out they go.

10. Sachet of elasticizer????

 

TEN items in a matter of minutes. I'm game! 100 here I come.

 

11. One strange fluffy camel

12. A mobile phone holder.

13. A rather lovely, but useless stone egg in a pretty box.

14. 2010 diary never used.

15. Waterproof poncho (hideous!)

16. Magnetic travel chess board.

17. Candle holder

18. Sachet of dove body milk.

19. Half use bottle of purfume.

20. Tube of volumising clay conditioner.

21. Bottle of skin scrub.

22. Sanctuary foaming bath soak.

23. Dry moisturising shampoo.

24. Picture fram.

25. Book called "Super Sue"

26. Nail varnish.

27. Scrub mit.

28. Lip gloss.

 

Okay, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to inclue stuff like half used tubes an bottles of stuff, but I don't think I can do it otherwise. I've told OH about it and she thinks its fun too.

Fab idea. Thanks omlet. :D:D
