I'm downsizing my 3 seater leather sofa for a 2 seater sofabed. Unfortunately the old one hasn't left the premises and I get the next one on sunday 😄

Anyone want a 3 seater dark blue Milan made sofa? Has its labels, a couple of scuffs on the back and one small cut on the seat....

We still have a lot of vinyl records going way back. Also have a lot of CDs, and quite a lot of videos. We can play them but not as easily as we used to be able to.

Gz, that could be awkward. Sorry, don't need a sofa and you are a bit far away.

If you could see the shelves of CDs in one of the local charity shops you'd realise just how many of us have already done the clearing. Not sure they are a selling commodity.

Reducing mug stock.
Four going to #2 son who likes them, two others , ditto to #1 son

Box of cycling themed mugs going as prizes /gifts at the last Womens' Track Fund session at Glasgow velodrome

Two bags so far of various mugs and glassware for the op shops, plus two bags of books.

All this is time consuming and taking away from making....but on the other hand clutter also affects the ability to make....

Facebook has been a trading post this last couple of weeks. Toys clear outs mostly. Someone has been carefully checking his Lego sets and selling them off one by one for about a tenner a time.

There have been odd items that would make good presents from Santa mind. Think some folks have been getting new beds and sofas too.

We have a huge pile of Lego. Don't think it would be possible to sort out the sets, and don't remember if all of them came as sets to make something anyway. Think we might be giving them to a friend's children soon when they are both big enough. I also have my Beta Bilda which was the Airfix version, but sadly the bricks are a bit warped so don't all fit. It had tiles with it too, and there is a Meccano set that is partly my fathers and partly mine. Probably both of them would do well in a museum.
