It's been a bit of a damp day today, so my motivation is low, but I love hearing what you mob have achieved, so at least making this post is an easy thing to achieve!

How goes the decluttering? Have you shifted anything out of the house? Found something to sort through? Had thoughts on things you can let go of?

Comments open to locals, lurkers, drive by sticky beaks, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.

I worked through a pile of patchwork scraps, sorting them into the sensible groupings, and throwing out all the 'too small' pieces. Not much, but it did make a space clearer!

Important work! it makes it easier for you to pick from only the useful pieces when you're looking for fabric next time.

absolutely true. And I have two projects that are going to use these scraps; possibly a third if there are still some left afterwards (I'm not regretting the method I have for assembling the current project, the authors are right it makes it much easier, but argh, there are so many good size scraps)

A whole very full car boot full of old paint cans, weedkiller, woodworm treatment, grease etc went to the hazardous waste day at the local recycling centre yesterday. It's made a significant space in the shed and made us realise that there's a lot more in there that needs to go - but everything that needs to go is non-hazardous waste, so it's less time sensitive.

Well done! And getting rid of the hazardous stuff does make one feel that tiny bit better.

Donating some glassware on Thursday. Managed to finally find the cargo cover to a previously leased Buick Encore so both of them are in the cargo area.

Sadly also donating the rest of the paperbacks I took last month because I remembered that I can’t read that small a font anymore.

Yay for getting rid of things. But a shame about the books. I can see that coming in my future, and I have a ... let's call it 'hefty' mass market paperback collection.
