Spring chuck-out!

Well I was going to say I've been spring cleaning all day today, but in fact I haven't done much cleaning; more clearing out and throwing stuff away.

It's amazing the stuff we accumulate in our lives. I've thrown out half my sheets and towels and pillow cases etc. I don't know where they all came from. Well, actually I do ;) Well meaning friends and relatives, who know that we don't have a lot of money pass their stuff on to us before it goes to the thrift shop. And while this is AWESOME sometimes, we also end up with alot of things that we'd never go out and buy.
Today I halved the amout of towels in the linen cupboard...we still have 24 towels (goddess that's heaps!) the equivalent of 4 towels each. Thing is you convince yourself that all these extras will come in handy. Well, we've had visitors stay for a week of rain and the kids have been playing out in the mud and still we've never run out of dry towels...they really had to go!

And all the half bottles and full unopened bottles of beauty care products (that we don't use becasue they contain really nasty chemicals...even most of the ones that say 'all-natural on the labels) went straight in the bin.

Oh, I wish you could see my bathroom, but today's your only chance to admire how clean and shiney it is as I'm sure that by tomorrow it'll be a mess again (even with half the stuff in it)lol.

Off to start on my bedroom now...
