* November 2007 AMEA Tiny Times

Out:
* 1 pump pack of sunscreen. When I was sorting out my bathroom cabinet to make room for last week's influx of skin stuff I did the yearly check of expiry dates. Obviously I missed last year's check as this had an expiry date of 2006 so out it goes. I doubt I'll replace it since I only use sunscreen once or twice a year and I have a couple of small sample packs in the cupboard: bin
* 1 dead white cotton sheet. (It's had a good life - I bought it on sale in 1992 for a whopping $7. I contemplated moving this into my craft room to cut up and repurpose but I already have at least one other in there waiting to be dealt with): given to mechanic friend to turn into rags.
* 1 broken Mary Quant travel umbrella. I really had to face the fact that no matter how long I kept it it wasn't going to magically mend itself. *sniff*: bin (even though, after seeing this I was sorely tempted to keep it just in case I ever needed to make a bat costume...)

Hmphhh You have done so well. I don't think I could possible compete this week....
Thank you for the pegs, and material swap, and everything this week. I am going to have to be busy aren't I?
Janet McK
You made it - woo hoo! and with things to spare.
Are you starting to feel the lightness of not-having? (not to be confused with the lightheadness of not-eating)
Maybe I can start over for summer, and do cleansing then.
M1K1 - not really but a lot of what is going has been stored away in cupboards and drawers and boxes. Plus there is now a "Seven Things Stattion" cluttering up the top of the stairs, where things wait for their exit from the house (and another one seems to keep wanting to spring into being at the bottom of the stairs.
I'm definately signed up for a "Seven Things Summer" (still deciding if I'll count what comes back with me from holiday or just do a final STS report next Sunday and just start again on Dec 16th) and know of a couple more people who are thinking of joining from December...
It would be great if you'd come along for the ride :-)
Ah! The out-of-date sunscreen. We had literally dozens of tubes/bottles cluttering up the house until I started checking expiry dates last summer. I must have thrown out sunscreen that I had spent at least $200 on. Never again!
