Sounds about right to me, are you looking forward to your move?

Yes and no, looking forward to move but not to decluttering LOL Does anyone|?

All those memories! Won't you be sad to throw it all out

Take photos Susie you will still have your memories, and less clutter

Do you think It's a good idea?

Last thing I want is pics of old clothes I have not worn for years!!


Has anyone else got photos of them?

Not me! I can think of far more interesting things to photograph, can't you

I wasn't referring to old clothes

Why don't you take them to the charity shop?

I always take clothes worth taking to the charity shop, doesn't everyone?

Yes, I do - and I try not to come out with any books! Does anyone else buy books from charity shops

All the time! Bargain prices, aren't they

I only ever buy books from charity shops but how do I stop myself when I am trying to throw books out?

I suppose it means not going in the shops, that way there's no temptation. But that's hard, isn't it?

It is very hard when I am going to the charity shops to donate my old ones!! I suppose I could put them in the book bank at the recycling centre, what do you think?

Oh, I don't know, that would mean the charity didn't get the money. It's a hard decision, isn't it

Does anyone know where books placed in a book recycling
container go? I assume somewhere they will be used and re read but I don't know

Some are sent abroad to needy countries like Tanzania, aren't they

Are they really? Worth taking some there then

I take all my books to the Genesis Centre (breast Cancer)

Another good charity, they sell them for £1 each

Don't you think that's reasonable?

I think that is very reasonable. It is amazing how many times a second hand book can be sold for a good cause don't you think?

Obviously they can sometimes be third, fourth, fifth or even sixth hand, can't they?

Well there is no point in buying new at high cost when a charity can benefit is there?

Of course not, but in that case I'm surprised that bookshops stay in business, aren't you

Do you think most books are bought from shops as presents?

Possibly, but isn't it cheaper to buy them (even for presents) from Amazon
