I have been intermittentlyplodding on with trying to de-clutter. Reluctantly, I sorted some more boxes and took them to the local auction rooms - some teddy bear ornaments bought by Mick for me over many Christmasses, another gift of a jewellery box which, to my shame, I never used. Also a few things that I hauled from the loft - bought years ago for the house but not used. I kept 1 favourite Teddy bear and 1 duck ornament only. And , out of the blue, I sold one of your shooting books on E- Bay. Total after commisions and vat - £39.00. Not great, but better than nothing!
