The school has put out the collection bins for the fete, yay! Got rid of one bag of toys yesterday, also have about 3 bags of clothes to donate once they've emptied the clothes bin. Also chucked out 1 bag of broken toys.

I've come to a bit of a stand still with the bag give away. Not that I haven't still got a lot to get rid of, just lack of time and I don't feel motivated when I get home to do it. But I'll get back into it.

Gert - I think that might be a case of "gotcha" . . . ;D  But then look at this way - you just applied the principle of whatever comes in, something's got to go out to make room and not clutter . . . :D

Yeah but.......

Anyway it  was a dress and a top  plus a pair of crop pants. New they would have cost about $200 due to labels but only $9.50 . So you gotta do it eh? Love it when ppl like me toss  their clothes.

You do well with your label shopping up there Gretchen.  On the odd occasion I was in op shops looking for something to wear on the dress up day, I couldn't find any really good labels.  Some of the better shops yes but not the top end of the market shops.  I wonder if they stay in the more affluent Eastern suburbs op shops.

In the major cities buyers  comb the op shops for their up market second hand boutiques. They can make a lot of money. Lots of socialites sell their stuff in recycle shops too.

Just lucky I guess. You have to be there on the day .

I've never really found any great clothes at op shops. Have found Meakin China and loads of cookbooks. (that now I'm giving away).
Can you get medication for hoarding?

I have just done 3 more bags to go to the Salvos.  :)
All clothes we had in storage since miss 5 grew out of them, now fit miss 18mths but are so ugly I don't know why I kept them...maybe they were cute 5 years ago.  :-))
