More (or rather, less) clutter

Here's day two of the declutter exercise - I confess that I actually did this group of 10 things yesterday, which is just as well, as I wouldn't have had much time to do it today, as I ended up going on the trip with the Year 3s to the RAF museum. And consequently, lost a whole days' sewing time. Anyway. Here's what I've got to dispose of today. From the toilet room - a step stool, which Alex no longer needs to reach the toilet. We have another in the bathroom for the sink, so this one can go - might offer it to a neighbour who has a little one about 15 months old, otherwise, off to the charity shop. Two items for the recycling - a shoe box which had been serving as a home for small odd toys (and which has holes all punched in the lid and drawing inside, so isn't much use for storage) and a McDonald's happy meal box, which had been acting as a dog house for a small toy dog, who has now moved out, so the box can go. Both of those items from Alex's room. Also, the sock puppet from nursery - missing most of its bits and in the bottom of a basket, so it won't be missed. In the bin for that. And a talking Dora doll for the charity shop bag - just not played with any more. Also for the charity shop bag, a Wizard of Oz video - we have it on DVD now. And finally, four different quilt tops - two for Project Linus and two the the Teenage Cancer Trust, I think. Will post them along to their respective charities next week. And that's 20, total. Not quite as odd a collection as yesterday, but still worth clearing out.
