bragging about rubbish

[mrsbrown]

I've written before about the too much stuff in my life.

Last weekend we cleared the junk pile in preparation for a council pickup and last night we put it all in the back lane.

There is an 8m long stretch, about 0.5m wide and 1m high.  That's about 4m2 of crap that is no longer in our back yard, with occasional forays into the house.

I was feeling guilty that I'm all about reducing the load of stuff to landfill and praise myself for the small amount of stuff that goes into our regular bin.

And then I looked at the pile.  Not one thing in that pile was bought new by us.  It was all scavenged or passed onto us.  We've kept it out of landfill for a while.

Sounds like you have done really well.

That seems like perfectly reasonable bragging! Not to mention a lot of hard work.

If you have any large plant pots among the detritus (and/or other big tubs suitable for container gardening), we'd be happy to take them off your hands, btw.

I think that's awesome, but are you sure you won't need any of that stuff again?

I mean *really* sure?

Too late now!

It was all gone by 8am.

Bum.
