(no subject)

[kept_wench]

In: a Jeep load of things like toilet paper, paper towels, and food. The only non essential was a pair of walking sneakers for half price that I bought for myself.

Out: a huge black contractor trash bag full of things like 2 strings of broken xmas tree lights and other junk like that which was simply not worth donating to Goodwill. Also dropped off the recycling since both bins were full. We can recycle most anything here (except styrofoam) through the county trash program. I say "dropped off" because I have to haul it myself now.. the house we moved out of last November had curbside pickup for recyclables, but the apartment complex we're in now does not. :p Florida doesn't tax containers like some states do, so there's no money back either. That's OK though. I try to donate & recycle as much as possible anyhow.

ETA: plus the biggest thing to get recycled this week was my dead washing machine that had been in the middle of the living room since last November. It would have been too much $$ to fix, sigh. So it went to a metal scrapper who came and hauled it off. Nice to have it finally gone.

Since my birthday...

I have cleaned the kitchen. This will be a big post.

[miss_s_b]

I totally cleaned out the kitchen, which is good! Scrubbed out all the cupboards and cleaned the oven and everything! But then I went to ikea, and bought New Things, which is bad... However, I am still quite a lot in credit. Witness!

Nothing felt so good as throwing that knackered old coffee table into the timber skip at the tip, and watching it pinwheel down to the bottom, shedding its three remaining legs on the way. It made a very satisfying crashing noise. Today I plan to finish scrubbing the hob and surfaces, and then sort out some clothes for the charity shop. Which will put me even more in credit! YAY!

One in, one out and shake it all about

[peaceful_sands]

So I messed up and thought I'd posted earlier in the week, but turns out I sent it to my journal instead of here *headdesk*

I shall try again, with hopefully a little more intelligence!

( So out went... and in came... )

The other good thing about this is I went up to the loft to look round (hence the large number of videos and books going out) because I needed some wool and I was sure I still had some bits up in the loft because I need to make some baby clothes. The bonus was I found two partially knitted baby tops, that I am now busy finishing off.

Look, more things went bye bye

[angelbabe_cj]

I threw some more things out. This is what happens when I stay downstairs late doing work and need something to do to take a five minute break. All to the bin, unfortunately, but it's not sellable in a charity shop.

1 x horrible mixing palette for paints (drove me insane and was stained beyond belief)
1 x tiny dolphin trinket
1 x used candle in pot (with my name on it)
1 x novelty flashing phone sock thing (doesn't work)
1 x tea bag plate (branded, chipped and we don't use it)
