Lucky you haven't put on weight then Joy and you've got all those new clothes to wear!

Georgina, I wonder if there is an old folks home nearby where they have a piano or keyboard so the music could be used?
My o.h.'s stepmum apparently took a load of magazines to a care home the other day, o.h. very hopefully told me and said Don't you think it's a good idea? He can live in hope lol, I am not sure my old Take a Breaks will be of much interest to them, with all the puzzles done. Stepmum's were glossy health mags and such.

I have lots of photographs from my late parents and many of them mean nothing to me but I just can't get rid of them. I think I must make a big effort to scan all the relevant family/friends ones and label them and then maybe the ones left over can be passed on somewhere.
Loads of an uncle of mine with all his friends and work colleagues, he never had a family, and no one else wants the pics - there are only so many I can keep of him! Lots from when he worked overseas during the war and after tho - he was a bit of a character and had many jobs, ran an hotel in England, dabbled with a film company in Portugal and all kinds of ventures!

Lovely to find all those new clothes Joy, I still have several unworn too so should sort them out, lots will never fit me again!

i am actually a size smaller now Ann
but i dont mind the baggy look in winter
yes it was a surprise Purple
i had completely forgotton about them

shows how much money i have wasted in the past

I have now cleared out my sideboard cupboard, got a box full of glasses ready to take to third grandson who is moving into a flat with uni friends in July, and another load to take to the charity shop. got rid of a load of paper and old note books from the second sideboard cupboard plus a lot of used envelopes I had been keeping, too many to re-use so they have gone for recycling. Found an 1985 diary that I had actually kept up for about 3 months that made interesting reading, Couldn't believe how often we were out in the evenings, despite working full time. Still it was 26 years ago, I was a lot younger then. next I part cleared the airing cupboard and sent some towels for charity plus sheets and pillowcases (navy blue, used to be used for the grandsons when they visited when small) which are going to second grandson as he has a double bed in his flat. Still a lot that could be got rid of but I am getting there.

Took 2 wool M & S straight skirts to charity shop today, loved them, one was red and one in camel - never get in them. Lots more to go!

We took 4 small carrier bags of glasses, a sweater and bric a brac to 2 charity shops. (we like to spread it around.)

Just seen this. I should have added to it as I have just put up my husbands a horder, same theme but I cannot get him to de clutter. Elaine.
