when i was a child you either fixed it or if beyond repair buried in the garden. No recycling centres then, just the rag and bone man. happy days

I am mindful of the fact that we have a little too much 'stuff' and have been sorting out. I have an aversion to dumping things in landfill, our recycling centre is very good and has a home for lots of things, but not old crockery/glasses. You can't put drinking glasses in recycling, and the crockery is just old stuff not good enough for charity shops. Any mosaic makers out there? :-D

To be fair to hubby he does occasionally have a clear out but only when he can’t get in his man cave/shed/ work shop. But not often enough.

"Sotheby's described the sale as an "auctioneer's dream"."


not forgetting a possible 15% +vat surcharge.....

It is a good thing to have a clearout now and again.

My brother would want to donate things to a charity shop that were totally useless rather than throw it away, it became an obsession and he would ask me to take it, I took a lot to the dump.

:-D

My mother would buy things that were broken because you can never have too much junk can you?

Because ZZzzz :-D

I’ve been watching this program and it is interesting but what I will never understand is why people keep stuff that is of no use to them, broken etc.
Hubby is like that and even wanted to buy another shed because the one we have which is very big and full up, I said no cos that will be filled with junk too.
So why why why are people like that :-( :-D :-( :-D
