While we were away, I was able to acquire things, but not get rid of them. This has shown very obviously in my numbers.
In the seven weeks since I last posted, I failed in four of them. Op shops are a weakness. Interstate op shops even more so.
That being said I still managed to average more than 26 items out per week, largely due to transforming some of my (not inconsiderable) fabric stash into things I can give away.

| 6/4/19 | 70 | reusable makeup removing pads | Buy Nothing Community | made from reclaimed flannelette from the free bins at the Green Shed and some from virgin vintage flannelette from deep stash. I make them when I have time and give them away on Buy Nothing as a contribution to the community and to the environment. A great way of using up my stash, diverting cotton textiles from the wast stream and taking single use items out of the environment at the same time. The threads I use are also from my Mum’s stash or purchased at op shops and the like. |
| 6/4/19 | 87 | family cloths | gift | made from reclaimed flannelette from the free bins at the Green Shed. The world’s weirdest housewarming gift, but one the recipient was keen for. |
| 6/4/19 | 1 | pair sunglases | Buy Nothing Community | I’m levelling up to multifocals for everyday wear, so my old sunnies could go. They were designer sunglasses that I loved but what’s the use in holding on? |
| 6/4/19 | 1 | bread maker | recycling | We got it from the Buy Nothing Community but it died after a few months of fairly constant use. fortunately, the Buy Nothing Community was able to replace it for me, and kicked in with some bread mixes as well. Richard is chuffed because it has a gluten free setting, so we both get home baked bread now. |
| 6/4/19 | 1 | blender | recycling | We bought it about 5 years ago. The seal gave up the ghost a few years ago and we were unable to get a replacement seal so Richard superglued the jug which made it difficult to clean but it still worked well. But it died mid-mix and I splurged on a new one. |
