* 2 black and white serving bowls
* 5 pieces of vintage fabric, 1 white toothbrush, 1 book (and a bottle of Baileys which doesn't count!) from Taph

* Dress (in fact, a dress so cool I had to buy one for a colleague in Sydney and post it to her)
* Short sleeved swing jacket (cause I was cold just wearing the dress!)
* Batiky short sleeved shirt (OK, I don't really need this but was imagining wearing it as I leaned on the railing of my ship watching everyone else head off to look at big lizards)

* US voltage hair straightener

Oooh, well done. You know what's really scary? How close our numbers are this week. Well, that and how we are the receptacles of each other's clutter (and creativity - my maths, your actual talent).
Hi sis,
I was wondering about the counting of things you gain and things you get rid of, what is it for? Whats the purpose - (I may have missed something earlier here) please enlighten me :-)
Dear Stressed Studying Sis
After a month of telling you erxactly what I ate (June) I decided a month of telling you exactly what I bought and got rid of was only fair...
Seriously though - a number of us are doing a challenge called "Seven Things Spring". See here for the beginnings:
