Last week my son was ill, and one long evening he was very fretful if I left him alone in his room. So I unexpectedly achieved my goal of sorting out his room by doing a bit at a time in between soothing him back to sleep. I've now spotted a couple of extra tasks to do before I consider the room "finished", but I've done everything I originally specified. So 1 down, 2 to go!

As a result of the reorganisation, I've ended up ordering a load of extra storage boxes which are on their way; I've also been able to see where we have gaps in the children's books, so I've been ordering and mooching (thanks for the reminder last week!) to fill those gaps. And we were kindly given a lift to the DIY store by a friend and got in a load of things we needed. This is all pushing up my INs, but for good reasons.

Totals:

IN:
For me: 1 hat (made by aunt from fleece I sent her), 1 phone, 24 books
For child: 1 toy car, 1 DVD
For house: 1 storage bin, 2 spades, 1 scoop, 1 trowel, 1 dustpan & brush, 1 tin paint, 3 paintbrushes, 1 first aid storage tin, 2 under-bed storage boxes, 1 drill, 5 jiffy bags
Total: 47

OUT:
Sold: 1 bike & 1 bike lock, 1 scarf
To charity shop: 1 cd box set, 5 curtains, 4 clothes, 16 books
To BookMooch: 6 books & 6 jiffy bags
To educational outreach project 1 pile dead cds & 1 jiffy bag
To bin/recycling: 1 bag cd/tape cases, 2 old hangers, 2 piles paper, 1 lightshade, 1 tin
Total: 50

Totals so far: In: 209, Out: 393, Net out: 184 on day 48.
