Last night I got rid of half of my clothes

I have always preferred sparingly furnished rooms - probably a reaction to my parents' house where whole rooms were dedicated to collect clutter.

However, I am guilty of buying cheap throwaway clothes, mostly at charity shops, some at H&M.

This means that once a year I take half of my clothes back, so last night I took a trip to my local clothes collection recycling facility.

The eight bags below contained:

  • 16 t-shirts
  • 9 polo shirts
  • 4 shirts
  • 3 trousers
  • 3 jeans
  • 1 pair of shorts
  • 2 jumpers
  • 4 pairs of shoes
  • 1 duvet
  • 3 cushions

Eight bags full of clothes

They all went in here, not without considerable effort, as the four containers were rammed to the top:

And then I crossed the parking lot to Sainsbury's and bought more stuff.
