DeCluttering
Re: DeCluttering
One must remember that not all these items are big, some are actually quite small.
Re: DeCluttering
Well the total for the year is up to 492 items donated, given to the DS's or recycled. Things are looking up in this department. I am hoping to manage a few more (at least 100) by the end of the year.
Re: DeCluttering
Did more decluttering over the last few days and now 522 items are either recycled or donated!!! I wonder how high I can get this year.
Re: DeCluttering
Good for you, Jackie.
I know my DDs are doing the pre Christmas decluttering and have asked for any " good stuff " for my school. We need books and pillows and cushions to make the book corners attractive and comfortable..............and we are doing a Children only fete and were thinking about a Cuddly Toy stall and a general Toy stall. Lots of the ones at our school won't get much , if anything this Christmas.

Re: DeCluttering
Rinty let me know if you do this and plan on continuing the cuddly toy stall. Pretty sure I could make a few cuddly toys over the summer and mail them off to you. Every child should get a gift at Christmas.rinty wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:40 amGood for you, Jackie.

Re: DeCluttering
Jackie what a lovely thought. A lot of our children are from minorities and DH always says he is humbled that their familes donate to Harvest festival and such when they have so little themselves.
The parish collects money and it goes to St Vincent de Paul ( but then some comes to specific families identified at the school ) Its a nice church family .
A lot of the kids are thrilled at just getting Christmas sweets.
