These were stiff and not complaining about being grabbed by the tail (I did have gloves on). Dunno about energy, I spent most of Sunday on the couch watching DVDs<br /><br />OH Rev, you're such a hoarder. We couldn't move in there and besides it was all rubbish and junk. Pieces of useless string indeed!<br /><br />Thanks e . .well the last piece of the sofa had disappeared when I got home tonight!<br /><br />I know Kath, I'm so brave! I'm sure someone will find it useful. Yeh, I'm getting there just had a bit of stasis over the weekend. Thank God for politicians being assholes.<br /><br />Otin what can I say . . unclutter your clutter, and unclutter your life.<br /><br />Hardy har har . . .I have a small knife for opening chaff bags but that's about it!<br /><br />Well Jay, someone's getting good use from our cast offs. What was funny is that the bed Clare installed was someone else's cast off. We just bought a mattress. I must see if we have something like Freecycle here<br /><br />Ha Renee, my shed is cleaner than MY living room right now. The kids have turned it into a very messy office.<br /><br />Tom, me inspire you? For drawing maybe, or a poem?<br /><br />Trouble is Mel, it made me look at a few other cupboards so now this weekend is wardrobe time and that bathroom cupboard that seems to breed tubes of gunk.<br /><br />True Bimbimbie, but I think the salvos like to sell on their stuff and use the cash for shelters and food services. Still, a bit insulting when half of it was good enough for us just last week!<br /><br />Erm, took us longer than an hour kj . . more like 4 hours. But I had help from Babybro, Clare and Adam.<br /><br />Oh River you have to send me a pic of your granny trolley with big wheels. Loved your little lamp by the way, what a coup. I really should scrounge more but feel like such a scab. Maybe a 'casual' stroll with a big shopping bag . . .<br /><br />I know, I thought about ebay but really for all the effort of photographing and registering and fielding bids or calls and having to arrange delivery, I was happy to give these things away for free if someone would pick them up. If it was anything of real value, yeh, I'd give ebay the nod. I've learned that if you put something out with a sign saying "Free" someone will grab it!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-37187334080612923552009-09-01T19:15:24.634+10:002009-09-01T19:15:24.634+10:00There's ebay.

The Eastern suburbs area is broken up into council territories with each being allocated a different weekend. Well, as you've said, one man's trash...I really hate cleanup time. L goes trawling through the piles of stuff and brings home all kinds of things that might be useful, usually they're not. We have several things that he scrounged last time, I'm hoping that he'll put them out for collection this year. The one good thing he brings home is pram wheels. I've got one of those little wire market shopping trolleys with the small back wheels and really tiny front wheels, okay in the shops, but useless on footpaths as the tiny wheels catch on every crack in the pavement and come to a sudden stop causing the walker (me) to fly over the damn thing as it tips and land flat on the footpath. Ouch! Well, that happened twice, so L removed the wheels and fitted the trolley with large pram wheels. We also have a gorgeous stained glass butterfly patterned touch lamp in the living room that he brought home about 4 years ago now. Every year he says we don't need anything, we don't want other peoples rubbish, we've got no room for stuff, we're not going out even to look. Yet next Sunday we'll be out walking the streets....(pssst..I actually like looking at what others throw out.)<br />word verification is elookax, "ee, look ax that.." ha ha.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-54781854481476663292009-09-01T13:11:45.827+10:002009-09-01T13:11:45.827+10:00oh, may the day come when my garage looks like thi...oh, may the day come when my garage looks like this. it will take me more than one hour. but dammit, hells, if you can do it, i may just coast on your good example.<br /><br />charities are getting fuddy fussy, huh? hmpf!<br /><br />xoxokjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-45209812754556572502009-09-01T12:13:50.462+10:002009-09-01T12:13:50.462+10:00Tsup*!* Glad most of your gear got picked up - ch...Tsup*!* Glad most of your gear got picked up - charities are very choosy these days, they run their op shops as if they were some high street retailer *!*Bimbimbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427788003822538655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-63846670662229974762009-09-01T11:13:42.833+10:002009-09-01T11:13:42.833+10:00Fantastic, Baino!

I've been known to take repeated looks at the back room once I've hauled things out, cleaned up, tossed, given away and dusted. And they say when you make literal space in your life, good "stuff" (not necessarily physical/monetary things) has room to move in. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093282449753003894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-22605113300895464382009-09-01T10:00:32.381+10:002009-09-01T10:00:32.381+10:00with summer winding down...i really need to get a ...with summer winding down...i really need to get a lot done i've been putting off...you have inspired me, truly.

Talk about making us feel grubby."<br /><br />That is EXACTLY how I felt when I tried to give some furniture we were replacing to a charity here that furnishes places for the homeless, literally just-off-the-street homeless. I was told - quite snottily - that it was too tatty. I had been living with that furniture in my lounge until the day before and foolishly thought that now we could (just about) afford to buy new, it might be useful to someone who had nothing. Ha. Silly me. As you say, they only want virtually new stuff.<br /><br />Now, I give it all away on Freecycle and get gratitude, not insults. <br /><br />Shed looks good!

Some enterprising repairer will either fix it or recycle the parts!<br /><br />Oh ,Darlene, you need a couple of strapping lads to sort it out while you sip a glass of wine and bark instructions! I'll have your Chrissy decos, I love 'em!

The horses eat the other two acres! <br /><br />Tempting Alan and at least your spiders aren't hairy mofo's the size of your palm or poisonous redbacks!
