The new years purge

No not my scraproom (although it could probably do with one), but the boys play/toy room. We are lucky enough to have a big room downstairs adjacent the garage for the boys to have for their own. The problem with it being downstairs (which is external) is that I dont get down there very often.....does it stay clean...a big fat NO...

Not only was it not clean but we havent purged any toys in about 2 years. With a teenager and 2 pre teens thats alot of toys they no longer play with or have outgrown.

Yesterday i ventured in there and wished I hadnt..but I spent the day sorting, cleaning and purging toys!

Wow what a job, and with hubbys help last night, because mum had no idea what some of the toys were lol we got it all done.

This is the pile of broken toys an rubbish that is going to the tip.


This pile is going to our local day care centre and the rest to the thrift shop.


The final result, nice clean sorted shelves and toybox.




Now how long it stays like that for, your guess is as good as mine...not long would be my guess lol


Cheers

  3. I had a laugh at the dare to guess how long it would stay clean, if they are anything like my DD not long at all.
