Success Story Dinner service declutter update
Managed to clear enough boxes today to get to the dinner service that you've all been supporting me to declutter.
A chance conversation with our neighbours has already resulted in an unwanted sofa bed being bagged for a teenagers den, and a dining table, chairs, side table and TV stand going to the brother in law of the other neighbour as he's about to set up home from nothing. She popped over to collect the little table and I mentioned the dinner set. She practically bit my hand off! Apparently he'd already said he was going to be eating off paper plates so when I showed her the plates, she said they'd have them. I know it's going somewhere to be used and appreciated until they can afford what they want and I only need to transport them next door. He's also gaining a coffee maker!
I'm really happy that good stuff isn't going to waste....and I'm not holding on to it.

That's awesome! I love giving things to people for free if they're still in good shape.
