Thanks...but no thanks!

Some of you who stalk me on Facebook probably know that while Adam has been on holidays we have been doing a MASSIVE clean up of our house. We started at the back and worked forwards. And we were ruthless, if it hadn't been worn, used, looked at in 12 months it went in the bin. I have a new theory that there is nothing in this house that if we chucked would send us broke to replace it if in 6 months we decided we needed one again. So out stuff went.

For this task we developed a system. Basically we pulled EVERYTHING out and only put back what we were keeping. Then we created 3 piles... tip, op shop and eBay. simple.

On Monday Adam and Xave headed off to the tip with the trailer FULL of junk. excellent one load down.

I have a small pile of stuff stacked neatly behind the couch waiting for me to learn exactly how to sell stuff on eBay. As well as 6 boxes of baby clothes in the roof. This doesn't include the 2 or so boxes of Xave's stuff my sister has.

And yesterday, we loaded up the car and headed off to the salvos nearest us. Feeling rather proud of ourselves for being kind and giving (and well too damn lazy to organise a garage sale).

However, we arrived at the salvos to be asked (very politely mind you) if we could take our stuff elsewhere. :0 What the? Thanks for being so generous, but bugger off!

They did suggest a nearby store that was much newer and didn't get as many donations. So off we headed to there. Hoping someone would appreciate our generosity. They did.

So operation clean up is almost complete... since purchasing our new dishwasher this week, there is some packaging and an old dishwasher that need to go to the tip. but all in all its done! everything has a place, there are even some gaps to be filled.

but please people, if you feel the need to buy us gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or just because you love us... no more glasses, plates, platters, bowls, mugs or toys... we have ENOUGH!
