The Big Clear Out...

37 bin bags of clothes and 5 bags of shoes later Mushroom believes he has his own adventure park and I can now sit down - job done!

So the only thing we had to do now, was wait for the fabulous owner of Strut to come and take it all away! Where he will sort through what's good enough to sell (and his customers would like) and what is not for him but to give back to the charity shops.

Part 1. of clear out done. Now to clear up the chaos I made whilst debating - keep or clear out...

Part 2. tidy up.

Part 3. anything I find from now on that doesn't fit or work will immediately go into a 'give to friends / charity / sell' bag.

Part 4. breath...

Sunday, Funday...

Wow! The clothes cull continues and as fabulous as it feels its pretty exhausting! I've bags of stuff to give back the charity shops, bags for friends and already unexpected house guests have had a good haul (real people not mice etc...). So on with the scruffs on and out to walk Jasper & Sugar (our mini schnauzers) before more Funday Sunday sort outs!

New Season Start...

 

I'm not one for getting too excited about the post but at the start of a new season as the mail order and 'buy me, buy me' catalogues arrive I gain a lust for out with the old and in with the new. A renewed excitement for my wardrobe.

So this season before opening the magazines I have decided to have a harsh cull (and as it turns out much needed!). I invited a friend (print designer) over to see if there might be anything of use. Shortly after arriving she asked 'when did you last do this?' As I was thinking when it was, I asked if I should throw a top out or whether it was worth keeping... The reply was 'rather dated - throw'.

Previously I would throw out, bag and go back through but this comment stung (I know there was no malice intended - good friends can and should be able to be honest) but this time I have thown and baged - and - I feel great!

Now all I have to do is drop it all round the charity shop and open those new magazines - oh! And make a quick cuppa!
