Had a very productive day yesterday
Now have spare drawers and shelves in the cupboard
Kit room has a place for everything and everything in its place and stinky kit has been thrown out
Handed over a bag of warm clothes to go to the homeless too

2 shoe boxes of my Mum's photos looked through and put in the recycling bin.

Goodness AR. You are sturdier than me. That would make me hit the panic button. It was hard enough getting rid of books, but photos

Me too. I have boxes of my dad’s photos and his diaries. I can’t bring myself to read them but also can’t throw them away.

I have photos today. Boy even I can't do that. My plan eventually is/get them transferred to CD. But I need to get a CD thing for my computer as it hasn't one

CDs are a bit outdated now, you may find you won’t be able to read them easily in the future. How about a portable hard disk? Or even an old fashioned photo album to display them?
My daughter spent a bit of time making photo books from our digital pics. One book for each year. They’re much easier to flick through and more likely to be looked at. We still have the digital ones though.

I've been quite enthused by the idea of digital to paper books too. So many digipics simply vanish.

Also you have too many digital pics. Teen picked a few representative ones from each occasion. I think we used myphotobook.
The other useful thing is Freeprints. You download an app on your phone or iPad and each month there is a quota of free prints you can use. You just pay for postage. Teen 1 has been using it and pins the pics round her uni bedroom, or puts them in an album. Teen 2 used it to print some photos for A level art, they’re not too quality but they’re better than printing yourself and much cheaper than all that ink and photo paper
