On Thursday of last week I took 4 large boxes of books to a local primary school - they felt positive that they'd be able to use the majority themselves and would either pass the others (I warned a few might be too mature for their age of children and more suited to 'young adults') to the local secondary school where they have contacts or would put them into their own jumble sale next time they had one. On Friday, I gave a bag of adult books to someone else. Over the weekend, I've started a bag and have begun to fill it with DVDs that I've watched over the last week that I don't want to keep and books/audio books that I've finished.
I've purchased some new stackable storage bags that are going to work better for storing spare bedding and towels that the ones I've been using to date.
I've also turned down something that someone else wanted to buy me for Christmas and convinced them that it isn't something that I want or need (which is correct but normally I just agree so as not to offend).
The bonus of the things that have gone is that there is a little bit of maneuvring space in the spare room for me to sort some of the things in there with a view to them going - the downside is I've run out of boxes of a decent size to get rid of stuff in!
