My kids' school will start collecting soon for the school fair so I've been hoarding clothes, toys, books & household items for a while. They make pots of money from their 2nd hand stalls & we parents get rid of unwanted stuff, so it's win-win!

It's amazing how much stuff we have that we don't use.  I've just sorted/cleaned off my sewing table and filled a huge bag of stuff. Might have to split it into a couple of bags as I now can't lift it up. The sewing table has been a dumping ground, now I need to get to the sewing machine to make some curtains.

Have also filled a nappy box with paper, envelopes, cardboard boxes etc - will use this to start the fire with.

 . . . we moved from one full house to another full house . . .can't begin to say how much stuff we've gotten rid of over the time . . . the recycle/buy back section of the local tip (which is huge and extremely well organised); the op shop; the Freecycle website; the recycling bins that are collected each fortnight; the sorting/keeping/shredding of documents, etc. from previous generations; - and we're still going!  I'm sure there is an end in sight somewhere!! ;D ;D  But will add the 40 in 40 to keep up the momentum! :D

While Judy and CreamPuff are culling their recipe pages, I have been going through mine and have found that I want to cook most of these forgotten recipes. Stumbled upon a parmesan and pinenut damper. Having it with dinner tonight.

Oh please be carefiul of pine nuts. http://conversation.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/pine-mouth-nuts-bitter-metallic-taste/

We suffered this for about 8 weeks last year, it ruined our holiday. We'd never risk pine nuts again.

Thanks for that link DJ . .very wary of buying any foodstuffs imported from China . . .a very sad situation and one that our govts don't seem to want to address in a hurry . . if at all.

Ooh I am going to give this a try! We need to get our house ready for sale so I can't see my DH complaining about a bit of decluttering... If anyone knows of a family in Perth who needs baby clothes (girl or boy, from 0000 to about 0) let me know I have a whole heap to pass on. I have already cleared one bag of old recipe books :)
