Hi~~

Hope you've had a good day:)

I have a copper upside down cup shaped implement, covered bottom with holes in it, on a wooden stick.. Kept it when my parents died,for sentimental reasons, don't know if was theirs or my grandparents, but know it was used for washing , not heard of poss stick tho, different areas have different names for the same thing.
My 90 yr old aunt will know straight away what the item I have is called locally:)).. Will let you know :)

It's been a lovely day here, and whilst I'm not a golf fan I'm pleased that after a bad start weather wise, the European won it in Wales :)

I wondered if poss sticks had a different name in other areas. Was it a dolly?

Hi Paula~~

I think you could be right there,for our area anyway:)
Haven't spoken to my aunt today, but that rings a bell with me ; Thanks:)

morning I think mum called the stick a dolly when i think about it

Morning~~

Bit grey and a feel of slight drizzle in the air here, it rained overnight, I could hear it!

Hi~~

Unable to get hold of my aunt, but googled Washing dolly, their description fits mine exactly, down to them being copper and there's a pic.lol

Apparently some peeps now use them as toilet roll holders, I suppose it would look good with the copper cleaned up and the handle varnished :)
But my new bathroom is going to be a white suite, light ,dark grey and silver tiles, shower will be white base with any metal chrome, so it probably wouldn't go ; family probably wouldn't like it anyway, perhaps I'll use it in the kitchen as a kitchen roll holder.lol

It is also referred to as a Posser in some pics and some are all wooden:)

mornin all pouring with rain here again

Morning all~~ just .lol

Rained earlier but now it' cloudy, with lots of sun :)

No one liked my idea of using the Dolly in the kitchen, certainly not the bathroom, surprise surprise.
Asked my aunt she used to use one, which she did, so it's probably mum's rather than nan's.
I've got loads of things I keep for sentimental reasons, but you can't really put a Dolly in a glass show cabinet, so I'm going to sell it on e.bay.
The exact same one is going for £10 as a private sale and £40 with a dealer !

morning all
sandie you could by something then with the money would it make an art piece lol

see what I started lol. I can imagine Brian laughing at us lol

Hi~~

Not going to get much for a tenner Maz, but better that than throw it in the skip.

I've got quite a few pieces, that are very old, 2 little colourful vases with no's and Italy on the bottom, googled it and found something similar, which seem to be worth a bit. I'm not a person for ornaments, but I have a few little favourites:)
I have 2 chinas dogs from my grandfathers house, both the left handers of a pair, one 14 ins the others 8 ins, my grandparents had a wedding present in
1908, neither of them will be going on e.bay .lol

Sunny here today and quite windy, so hope to put another wash out soon.....and no I didn't use the dolly .lol

still foggy here,not a pleasant day at all.I am very busy as trying to do a deep clean/tidy.Tesc* just delivered my shopping so been putting that away and am about to go to the church to meet the engineer to service the boiler. hope he is quick cos we have a funeral at quarter to 3 lol and I need to be back ready for Ava finishing nursery.......taking a deep breath lol xx

It's gone misty again here , and I'd already put washing on, well they are light cottons so hopefully the wind will dry them, cos it is surprisingly warm.

Busy afternoon for you Paula !
As long as the engineer is on time they don't usually take long:)
