Job half done :)
Wow. I don't think we have ever put so much rubbish out for collection. We are not supposed to put it out till tonight but DH, in his infinite wisdom, knows after a visit to a corporate box watching the footy he will be in no state to put it out safely, so put it all out last night. Clever boy. I was hoping the silly garden gnome carrying an oversized carrot ??? would have disappeared but seems no-one else has taste either. The rubbish has mainly come from under the house where there is a largish area that has gathered stuff from the previous owner. When they sold to the current owner (we just rent from both of them *sigh*) they said we could keep whatever we wanted and could turf the rest. Well it's just a shame we didn't need 23 tins of dried out multi-coloured tins of paint, or a fancy garden gnome, or curtains adorned with brightly but incorrectly coloured farmyard animals. It was more a shame that we didn't need a broken ladder, a paint roller sans the roller, or a box of baby shit yellow tiles. Such a shame. But more than made up for it scoring the cubby house. On close inspection will be an absolute doddle to dismantle and put on the lawn. On another day. LOL.
Now that there is room for us to store our 'heirlooms' I will get to the job at hand of sorting through the study. After our morning walk, and swimming lessons of course. I am hoping both DS's will do me the honour of sleeping simultaneously so that I can stand back tonight and look about me in awe. Awe that I actually did what I said I was going to do. Awe that I completed it. Awe that I can now bounce, bounce, bounce away. Ah, I love my life. :)

Wow, well done M :) It is amazing what people leave behind when they move out. Great score on the cubbyhouse though.
There must be a very early spring-cleaning bug going around :)

LOL they left that much crap behind? Must admit I do have a thing for garden gnomes...as long as they are in someone elses garden.
Well done, you did well - feels good to clean up and out doesn't it.

Great to have a clean out. The curtains sound lovely! The tiles would have matched the calf shit coloured carpet that was in this house when we bought it!

Mission accomplished! Good going M! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your bounce-a-ma-thingy. (try and get DH to take a couple of 'action shots'...)
Have a great week and thanks for your comment via email, good to know I'm not alone in my quest for ultimate cleanliness - at least when there are visitors around!
