Happy tress, happy kids, happy me
Ok, this is what I do. Any mail that comes into the house which is only written on one side and I don't need to file for a rainy day I put into the 'scrap drawer'When I need to write a shopping list, when my darling girl is having a work of art moment, when we're doing some wonderful home ed project or the phone rings and I need to make note of a message, out comes the goodies from the 'scrap paper' drawer.
It's incredible how much paper you can save in this way. In the past I've given away 2 piles of it to friends to use too - it soon accumulates and there is more than enough to go around ...
Share and share alike, but do try and stop the paper coming in at source by stopping your junk mail ;)
Let other's benefit
Paula, I agree, Freecycle is wonderful.Alas I don't have many toys of my own any more, but with an eight year old girl in the house, there are plenty of toys around!
Every now and then we make a trip to a charity shop or give them to friends, but this time of year why not look for small treats that can go into an Operation Christmas Child shoebox?

This is a great way to recycle your toys and bring meaning and joy to a child less fortunate than yours. Plus it means you get to have a declutter before Christmas arrives again.
You'll find knitting patterns, suggestions for toys, along with drop off points around the country on their website.
