Shift it to the Thrift Shop #2

Its Saturday morning, and there is nothing like the feeling of de-cluttering!
I've got some more not so treasured items to take to my local second hand clothing bin.

I must stress again, please don't take them things that are broken, dirty or rubbish. It costs the charity money to dispose of your items. They need good quality sellable items!

Here's what I'm donating today!


Three brand new room fragrance sprays from Crabtree and Evelyn (I bought them to try, but room sprays are just not for me!) and a charm bracelet which I think was from Target (I thought it was really cute - and it is, but I just haven't worn it).


Coffee that came in a get well hamper. I don't drink coffee, so off it goes.



A Black Books bar set, which I won years ago and has been sitting on my bar are, never used. Time to move on!



Another room fragrance spray that I bought after Christmas last year. Seeing as its coming up to the next Christmas and I still haven't used it, time to find a new home!



I'm really sorry to throw these out. I paid $112.50 on sale for these new joggers a few weeks ago. I have tried to wear them, but they have a synthetic lining and make my feet scream. They feel so hot on. I just know I can't and won't wear them, so they need to go!




Have you been inspired to do some purging? I hope so! Comment below and tell me what you've donated lately!

Meal organisation

Good morning!

I have a confession to make. I don't always stick to my meal planner. I know...shocking! I shop using Woolworths Online, so I usually get my groceries delivered on a Sunday morning. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong, but so far, so good! I plan and order my shop on Friday afternoons or in the wee hours of Saturday mornings. 

I use a meal planner that sticks to the fridge from Target - It was around $15 or $20. I can't remember exactly. I used to write really elaborate meal plans with me cooking from scratch every night. It just doesn't work. I need a few simple meals that I take out of the fridge & cook (like 'Steak and salad or Chicken Schnitzel & salad). 


 When I am working (I work part time and casually) I cannot face making a meal at the end of the day, all I want to do is veg out on the couch!



I love how there is space down the bottom for 'shopping list' items and the powerful magnets make sure it doesn't move. I find that the meal planning helps with waste. When I don't plan I throw out a lot of food. I know there are things in the fridge, but I'm not exactly sure how they fit together.

This planner has been working well for me. Each week I just tear off a new sheet. It always looks nice and I can see at a glance what we are eating for the week. I plan on sharing this every week!

What do you use for your meal planning? Let me know below!
