The tendency is to hold onto things because you think they will be useful-you have to take the attitude if you haven't used it for 2 years you just don't need it-we all watch too many antique type shows and think we will throw away a fortune-the real chances are that is no good to anybody
On old tv will not work with an ariel-unless you have a digibox-videos will never be played-give it to freecycle
Becks-can I come as well?- I am not allowed fireworks
Well am getting there. OH will go back up into loft later to bring down the 2 boxes of Dad's clothes that the charity people can have. Daughter has gift aid for them so that all helps. The electrical 'stuff' that we brought back from dad's house all to go, p[lus a couple of small appliances that OH insisted on buying & now never uses!
Daughter doing a sauce to go with the chappatis that OH insisted he wanted last shopping trip..... & our bed is getting clear. Daughter & me off up to tip tomorrow! J.
Jo. I'm breathless just reading about your household. Does anyone actually sit down and do nothing?
We cleared my Mums house last year and I have still to go through such a lot of things. She is in residential care but I can't bring myself to sort through some of the more personal things as yet, not that she is ever going to need them. So the shed is full and things are stored in boxes, all over the house. OH is getting fed up of having to move things every time he goes in the shed
On the subject of SCD, I said at the time to OH that Darcey marked Louis down because she isn't going to give Bruce any more cause to embarrass her, pleased someone else thought that.
Hope Jess enjoys her fireworks, kids don't want to go but don't want to miss it either..
Just had mine , thanks along with a nice farm egg We've just discovered that there are some of our belongings in daughters loft. Must have forgotten them when she bought house More to sort out. Think I may be joining you at the tip, Jo.
Becks , Jess may enjoy the fireworks now she's a little older. We heard some last night but not many to be honest. Just wish that only organised displays were allowed - there's too many loonies around these days. Quite lucky here as our cul-de-sac is secluded but you hear so many horror stories every year.
Off to Cosco in a bit - May be tempted to buy some mince pies

Of course you can Geoff!! Bring your sparklers!
Bjay, how old is your granddaughter?
Still pleased I don't drink Coke. Son does so usually remnants of bottle around for more useful uses.
Think you are all heading in right direction Jo
I see snow in west country. Not this far north though.
Eldest son has told us not to buy baby any Christmas pressies as thye have already been given so much stuff. (sigh) Did so want to visit a toy shop!

On the firework theme-bangers anyone?
Chris, you've hit the nail on the head there! She hates missing a thing!
Nice bangers Geoff!

I know what you're saying Jean. Makes you wonder how the little kids you see in the news get hold of them in the first place.
