Item #23 & #24

101 goodbye 023 to 024
Last things from that plastic cupboard... So, I could have sent these to the thrift store, but they're so useless they went in the recycling. They're ice cube trays but they're only about 1/3 of a centimetre deep. Which means stupid ice cubes. I tried using them for baby food, but that didn't work either. I'm not sure where they came from, but they're gone now and it's so nice!

Item #22

101 goodbye 022
So technically there are four (or even eight) items here, but I'm calling them a single unit...As I mentioned, I cleared out the plastics cupboard last night. These came to live at our house the day we moved. We picked up lunch at a local restaurant and they gave us plastic kids cups for our drinks because we hadn't unpacked anything at that point. We never used the lids and straws because we were all adults (me, Alex and my parents) but for some reason I never got rid of them. We still have a couple of the cups. J uses them in her bathroom to rinse her mouth...so she doesn't need a lid or a straw! These were also left out for Alex to recycle.

Items #19-21

101 goodbye 019 to 021

I cleaned out the cupboard for plastics and tupperware last night. And I found not one, not two, but three Nalgene bottles. The warning on these came out three years ago. Yet we still have them. And we've moved since then too. I left these out for Alex to take to the recycling this morning, because we're never going to use them again...which is too bad. The pink on was mine and I loved it. I haven't been able to find a good water bottle since...

Items #17 & #18

101 goodbye 017 018
I was very sad to get rid of these table clothes. I got them both at a lovely shop called Drinkwater that doesn't exist anymore. Most of my table linens are from there and so are my most favourite, beautiful casserole dishes. One of these was actually a gift from my sister Kelsey when she stayed with me (maybe when she got flooded out of her apartment?). It's fitting then that I gave them both to her. They don't fit on our new table, but the old table went to live at Kelsey's house, so it made sense to send the table clothes over too!

Item #16

101 goodbye 016

This got mailed to Edna...I think if I'm going to give away any more books, I'm going to do it locally...every time I mail something I flabbergasted how much it costs to send parcels within the country....internationally isn't so back, but locally sucks!

Item #15

101 goodbye 015

We got this an engagement gift - I love having a spoon rest, but it is not allowed on our new stove top - scratch, scratch, scratch...and because we have a lack of counter space it couldn't stay there. And because it's beat up I wasn't going to put it in the donate box, so it's gone. Bye...

Item #14

101 goodbye 014

This broke. I loved it - it was my loose change purse and usually had a couple small bills in it and it stayed in my desk...it was perfect. But it broke. I wanted to keep it but it kept spilling beads everywhere. I tried to fix it, but it was having nothing to so with that...so I sucked it up and tossed it. And you know what, I don't miss it. But it sure was cute!

Item #13

101 goodbye 013
