DG - scrapbooking stuff........ oh this is about de-cluttering not getting more... ;D ...I'm totally addicted to scrapbooking.  :-)) I love it!! Don't tempt me.....!  :)

I have decided to try this challange, tho I'm not sure I'll get 40 bags as I have just done a HUGE clear out - if I could start from a couple of months ago I'd allready be 27 bags gone - from supermarket bags to big wheelie bin liner bags.   :o  Did get another supermarket size bag of old books off the girls bookshelf tonight - missing pages, ripped, etc. Or does rubbish not count?
:D

I'm sure rubbish is OK. I binned a bag today. As long as one way or another you do 40 bags in 40 days.

I may be wrong though and making this up.

I am also culling recipe clippings and print outs - over 2 nights I have done 2 folders, was very proud of myself as I only kept probably 1% of them.  My tastes seem to have changed from when I started saving all these recipes  :-))

That's so good Judy. I'm going through my mountain of magazines clipping recipes. Still to go through my recipe folders.

I'm never going to be done in 40 days.

I think especially with a lot of old magazine and newspaper clippings the older ones especially used cans and packets of soup etc and we have really evolved these past 2-3 years. We are making things we never thought we would or thought we could be bothered doing. Sometimes when I go through recipe clippings I wonder why I ever saved them. Even touching the paper they are printed on repulses me  :-))

Spot on CP, many of them were like that - others couldn't be done in the TMX so out they all went.  Still quite a few folders to sift through but it will be one less job for the kids when the time comes ;)

If anyone finds any old gaming consoles or games that they are dumping, my son has asked me to ask if he would be able to have them....he is happy to pay postage.  He's apparently having a few nerd moments....he is getting a nintendo and a super nintendo for his birthday and is angling for an atari 2600 system that is currently sitting in a display cabinet in his favourite game shop.

Stacelee I will have a look for you, I think there was some nintendo games up in the cupboard.

I love my cookbooks and magazines, although if I'm after a recipe I usually look here on the forum or google it.  :-))
