This second week of the challenge I resurrected three items from the garage. Item 1 – a very old TV remote control. It doesn’t belong to any of our TVs but noticing it was the same make as the TV in the bedroom I cleaned it up, found some rechargeable batteries and hey presto it worked (despite hubby’s protests that it wouldn’t). Now when hubby is watching TV while I am sleeping he can turn down the ads which are always louder than the actual programme. Item 2 – a surge protector which we had put away a few years ago into storage before the renovation. Another clean up and it is now in place in the lounge protecting our electronic devices. Item 3 – a new pair of earplugs for my MP3 player – I have absolutely no idea when I purchased these but it would easily be at least four years ago. All of this goes to show that I don’t need to go shopping to buy new things – I have more than enough items to resurrect and reuse right down the end of the corridor in the garage, my own personal shopping mall! I wonder what next week’s ‘shopping’ trip to the garage will uncover.
