Socks. Well, sort of. Dumped all the socks in my sock drawer into a large clothes basket. Matched the pairs and removed all the ones with holes, red clay stains, or stretched out tops.
Not quite thrown away yet. I put all the cotton discards in a plastic bag to be used for dust cloths. THEN, they will be thrown away, one by one.

I brought a new scales that does the body measurements , so we are going to rehome the old bathroom scales. It is still good, and has a usb port for recharging, so it should work fine for someone else who needs a bathroom scales.
The new one I got is larger and easier for me to read and also to stand on.

That would have been packaging from Cooplands sausage roll.

I went through the bedding, sheets and blankets, and bagged up the ones we do not use anymore. Our bed is queen sized, but the mattress is a deep one and it is getting harder all the time for me to put those fitted bottom sheets on the bed. Bobby usually has to help me pull them down over the corners.
Eventually, i just started buying king-sized sheet sets, even though they are too large, becasue they are much simpler to put on the fitted sheets.
It seemed silly to keep the smaller ones if we are not using them, so this morning , we will make a trip to the thrift store and donate all the queen-sized bedding. Them, I can browse through the used books and see what I find that I want to read. Always a fun thing to do , and I am looking forward to the expedition to the thrift store.
