Christmas decorations
I have put away the christmas decorations.
Just before christmas i bought a bigger tub to fit all the decorations in.
And they did, except for the reindeer, santa sacks, hats and cards.They went into the plastic bag, that i already had.
I put all the hanging decorations in paper bags, ziplock bags. If they are breakable i wrap up in tissue paper and place in a plastic bag.
If the original container is there, i will use it.
I keep all the same ones together and i just place the baubles on top and in beween spaces.
If any have broken i throw them out.
Then they went into the shed for another year.

 |   new ones from the sales |
the end result
Christmas toys.
Finding room for all the new stuff.
Thankfully i did a cull of toys before, so the new toys could just fit on the shelf.
Other things i put with things the same, like hair ties and hair bands in the bathroom.
Beach towels with the others.
Ten pin bowling in with the balls.
Craft things in the craft box.
I will do another cull when they are all at school
School books
I went into officeworks and got the two high schoolers books.
Before i went i sat down with the catalouges and checked who had the cheapest and worked out how much it was going to be.
And also checked what we already had.
I circled the products in the catalouge, makes it easier to see.
It only took 30 minutes and not expensive.
Since that didn't take long we went to get high school uniform for the 12yo starting next year.
By going before the end of december i got a 15% discount.
I only have to get everyone socks and shoes. which i tend to get just before school.
Also all the books from this year.
I go through them all and see if i need to keep any, especially if they have pages left in them.
If they are kept i put them either in the craft box or in the hallway cupboard.
The 13yo put hers into a drawer in her bedroom.
If they aren't being kept out they go.
