IN today came some books, a box of candles and tea light holders (including a nativity scene!) and a thing for crushing tins. Not sure it'll work as I think it has to be attached to a wall and I don't want to do that in case it doesn't work. May have to make a pretend "wall"!
I've arranged some OUTs for tomorrow - a printer, steamer and the HFL Veg book.
OUT today went the can opener (doesn't work on dog food tins), 2 printers, a small set of shelves with chickens on and a bag of socks and shampoo for a hospital ward for the elderly. That's a bit more clutter gone. Big Grin

Mention of books reminds me that I am now on the fifth lengthy tome of 'Earths Children' which started with the Clan of the Cave bear! One more book to read after this one and I am still enjoying reading about our ancestors! Did you ever get round to re-reading the books Veggie?
I was stowing some books yesterday and spotted Clan of the Cave Bear (and thought of you Wink). Its on the top shelf. left hand corner and I need steps to reach it. It hasn't moved since you mentioned it, sorry! The other book is Mammoth Hunters.
IN today came 3 containers of shower cream and a book which I am missing from a series so I can start reading them now from the beginning.
OUT went the steamer, a hoodie, the River Cottage Veg Book, 2 paperbacks and an old leather briefcase that is going to be used as a prop in a drama group!

I have read both of those plus The Valley of the Horses and The Plains of Passage. I am now on with The Shelters of Stone now and after that it's only The Land of the Painted Caves to complete the sextet! Cool Enjoyable and knowlegable easy reading although she does seem to concentrate on Alya and Jondalers sex life quie a bit! Rolleyes
OUT yesterday went 9 x Bill Bryson books and 3 sets of drawers (cardboard ones, not for wearing!).
£5 x 2 Pantry this morning. Lots of fruit and veg - potatoes, string beans, mushrooms, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, sweet corn, peaches, bananas, wraps, bread rolls, ginger cake, cookies, crisps, soft drinks, tins of beans and rice pudding, KFC, Chicken pie, pasties, probably more but I can't remember what!
In today 2 push bikes.

When collecting our insulation from a friend’s shed. She asked if we wanted any of the other stuff in there because loads of it will be going to the tip. So we came away with a bike each.
Not ridden one for many many years!
IN today, nothing as exciting as a bike (can't ride one anyway!) but a big vinyl coated tablecloth for the kitchen table/computer station/dining table and another bag of toiletries! Most of them I give away, just keeping the shower cream/handwash and some hand cream for my dried out gardener's hands.
IN today 3 pairs of leather work gloves, new ones! Unfortunately they're a bit big for my dainty little hands but I'll still wear them for bramble work.
The donor had 5 packs x 3 gloves to giveaway - her partner's work provided them and he didn't need that many. Happy to help him declutter. Big Grin
OUT went a packing tape dispenser and 3 rolls of tape. I'll never use it.
