I have decided that as time is sort each day I will just grab stuff and put it on the kitchen bench, as I move around the house. hopefully todays job is to clean out one draw in my bedroom. I am sure there are plenty of clothes to go to the salvos.

Belinda, before and after

Before and after photos of the kitchen draws. It is a pleasure to open the draws now all the excess is gone!

51- 60. out of date food items. Garbage.

I am ashamed to say these are from  just one little corner of a shelf in the pantry. More thought has to go into shopping for both Lauren and I. Really pre made sauces! not the sort of thing I buy. We have had different people stay with us over the past few years and I think I have the remnants of these visitors food habits in the pantry.
Now I have returned from holidays its time to get back into de-cluttering my house and life.  My office is closing down and we are de cluttering it as well. maybe I need to document that as well.

I have started a metal recycling bucket, I have ezy scrap coming to pick up so me old garden furniture so and going to give them my bucket of met scrap. I figure this is better than going in the waste and I don't think you can put this kind of stuff in the recycling bin.

My aim to to get my ration of recycling/give away to garbage to tilt to the recycling side, I seem to be putting to much in the garbage. 

I also need to find out if there is any way to recycle power cords/ phone chargers etc. I hate putting them in the garbage so I will work on finding a place today for them, if its possible. searching now!
