Only one thing out today and not my doing - Will was given a book recently which is of absolutely no interest to either of us, so that's out.
Unfortunately I went to the library today and bought two second hand books - Ray Mears' autobiography and a Joanna Trollope for me.. But books don't really count, there's still space on the book shelves, and what this exercise is really about is getting rid of things I don't, won't or can't use ,and making the house easier to clean and keep clean.
I have also ordered myself a pair of nearly new brown loafers from ebay - I realised that, as it is the way, almost all of my shoes are wearing out at once and my go to, every day, go with everything shoes are a pair of doc marten black lace-ups, which honestly I think I'm getting a little old for, and even they are getting tatty.
I have vowed to go through my shoes and chuck out anything that has seen better days, and have also made the decision to sell my pink dr martens which have definitely had their day - I am not 22 any more, and every time I reach to put them on I think better of it because frankly a frumpy, knackered looking 32 year old mother wearing a long dress and a knitting cardi looks nothing short of ridiculous in bright pink doc martens.
I'll probably sell them on ebay if on inspection they look in good enough condition. Next month I will probably order a nice sensible pair of flats from ebay, probably hotter, and that'll be that. I have a good pair of fly london boots. and perfectly good wellies, and more sandals than I can wear.
Anyway, that's enough of that, shoes shoes shoes.
Scratch that, I did it while I was thinking of it-
OUT:
- Pink doc martens (Bit worn about the toes, charity)
- White doc martens flats (Worn through soles, bin)
- Book about covid (Charity)
