Orange coloured things. Orange flavoured things ( that bottle of orange liquor in your drinks cupboard?). Organisational stationary or boxes (obviously the boxes are perfect for seed storage so they wouldn’t be leaving)

Odd bits and bobs, covers almost anything. Old medicines. Overcoat, Onesie, Oven gloves, Openers, Old Oil, Obsolete anything.

Great ideas, Thanks. I was stuck on Ornaments!

Shuffled some "ornaments" into other rooms/windowsills working on the principal that there should only be one thing on a windowsill or top of a cupboard. The theory being that you can pick up the item and dust the surface in one swipe. I was told this by a lady who kept a B&B near an airport and had lots of clients staying for one night only. I'm a long way off achieving this but I have removed some Odds & ends including some Pot Plants which will be tomorrow's P.
Also found some IKEA drawer Organiser things - just need to find a drawer that they fit!! That's why they're still hanging around, I've filled all the suitable spaces!

Piles of Pages of Paper have been Purged today.........and the Pot Plants from yesterday.
Q is a bit Questionable for tomorrow! Something Quaint perhaps?

Quilt covers? Quality street tins . Of course you have more than one your a seed saver / collector / aholic . So just rearranging not removing of these.

Queen Elizabeth mugs which could segue into excess royalty porcelain/memorabilia.

Q was a bit of a failure. However, I did find a pair of unworn Hotter boots at the back of the wardrobe. Sadly, the soles on these were cracking, despite never being worn. That's the 4th pair of Hotter shoes with disintegrating soles. The only bright side is that I didn't buy them. My neighbour was a chiropodist with a shop that sold shoes etc. The shop was flooded and all the stock was written off. She gave me several pairs of shoes that were undamaged but couldn't be sold. I'll make tomorrow, S for Shoes day.
Meanwhile, Today is R for Rubbish. Let's see what I can find!

Yesterday was just Random Rubbish from the kitchen worksurfaces.
S was for Spices/Seasonings (and herbs) that were out of date. Where there were duplicates, I kept the most recent (still past their BB date though!). I rarely buy spices & herbs but seem to be given quite a few. Presumably other people buy and don't use them either!

T for Tee Shirts. Two have been turned into rags.
