I have been doing the odd bit here and there though. I took a big box of books to the local charity shop this afternoon and donated them. While I was there I spotted the beauteous shoes which, ironically, has had the beneficial effect of forcing me to sort through my shoes and haul out a few pairs to donate tomorrow.

UK people, did you know you can now Giftaid when you donate items, not just money? Good, eh? I gave my books to Sue Ryder, but you can do it at Oxfam too, and probably other places too.
