I can beat you on the mugs, Buttercup...I've got 26 (but no cups)...and it's only me and my cat! But then you never know when I might need them :-5

I've got 6 matching mugs and 3 odd ones that have sentimental value.....1 that my son gave me with MUM on, one that has my name on and one I got from the Eden Project. The other 10 I 'dumped' on my husband when we split back in September. I have a bone china t-service still packed away....doubt if I'll ever use it although I've threatened my kids with an old fashioned Sunday Tea one day.....cucumber sandwiches and fairy cakes....

Have to find a t-pot first !

I have still got a few unpacked boxes with glassware etc in and I guess I'll have the final sort out when I find a permanent home.

Other than that I did all my de-cluttering back in August...felt good and satisfying.....I still do 'mini' chuck outs regularly.

So when I come and visit you next year....I can bring 24 other people with me !

I found a great site where you can recycle old stuff that's cluttering up your house.

Just put stuff on the site that you have no use for and it goes to a good home.

There's quite a lot of countries that you can link to.:-6

I have a set of 4 John Deere mugs, can't get rid of those or my son will have a cow. 8 mugs that came with my dishes. Several plastic cups that we mainly drink out of. And 3 sets of glasses that just collect dust.

Bez, you can bring a hundred, so long as you bring yourself. But of course the other 74 won't get a mug of tea!
