Or lots of ebay listings Geoff - some people pay good money for tat - as seen on Flog it!
I have a couple of yuccas. OH says we should have planted them under the windows, as they would make an excellent burglar deterrent. Might mean the windows never get cleaned though.
Have collapsed for a bit- phew. When did I ever last actually move the sofa, 3 seater, properly? At least it's now hoovered beneath- only 1p, some Kinex bits & a small bit of black plastic tube - no idea about that!
Tree is still not in the box. I cant work out how to pull the final section apart- bright red face, much struggling, etc & it wont budge. It's got to come apart somehow, but am blowed if I can work it out....
I still want to clean kitchen etc, but it just may not get done today after all. Think tea will be whatever I find in the freezer.
The big Kinex wheel-thingy (proper name escapes me at the mo) is still up. OH will be dismantling that this w/end!
Right, a bit more hoovering to do. Why is it that bits of tinsel/glitter etc stay despite the cleaning? J.
A car boot sale is one way of getting rid of tat, for a bit of cash.
Some neighbours near me had a 'garage boot' sale - just loads of stuff they wanted to get rid of, stacked up in their garage, with a notice outside to attract the attention of passing callers.
I went along, just to be nosey. And came back, the proud owner of some of their old tat. If you reduce the price low enough, some people will buy anything.
On the to do list for this year is to sort out the loft, i dont know how so much stuff gets put up there. Could probably furnish another house. Never finished last years to do list so not much hope for this year. The saying one mans trash is another mans treasure is so true
We had a garage sale, the amount raised and got rid of didn't justify the hard work and time it took.. Tried car boots as well, with limited success. Charity shops are a good option.
Geoff -- Are you taking much with you or are you having a complete fresh start? Which would be the most expensive? New furniture or transporting yours over there?
Going to see The Hobbit this evening, so must go and get early tea.

We don't have passing callers-remember the apple fiasco
Have done car-boots before-probably will again
I like Nola's idea-always wanted to be on the telly
