As for the "st...Not gangly, Alis. Statuesque!<br /><br />As for the "stuff", I recommend skips. There's something enormously therapeutic about chucking things into a skip (we filled three when we last moved house).Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-58337846792185765202011-05-03T08:43:46.451+01:002011-05-03T08:43:46.451+01:00We're having to go through our own house and c...We're having to go through our own house and chuck stuff out to make room for the stuff we've brought back from my late mother-in-law's house - and most of it's not staying, we just need room to store it for a while. I'm dreading going through my wardrobe and chucking things out - I'll have nothing left if I do the 'if it's not been worn this year, throw it out' rule. If I was a different woman, I'd be rubbing my hands in glee at the thought of clothes shopping but, sadly, I hate shopping for clothes as I can never find anything that I like that actually fits my gangly frame!<br />word verification - argoss - perhaps it's a sign...Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-55617192553603759342011-05-02T22:09:48.448+01:002011-05-02T22:09:48.448+01:00Patsy, I envy you!

I'm definitely keeping all of those.<br /><br />Barnaby, I know all about your hoarding habits. When are you going to come and collect all your stuff? (in case anyone wonders, Barnaby - usually known as Barney - is my son)? And no. You can't shred a wardrobe.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-91443401397719461882011-05-02T20:11:10.267+01:002011-05-02T20:11:10.267+01:00I've been tidying the garden of our new (to us...I've been tidying the garden of our new (to us at least) house. The same principle applies if it is your own garden (in a previous house I had a dead redcurrent bush that I couldnt dig up because someone had given it to us as a present. I dont even like redcurrents, or as I have just discovered know how to spell their name). In a new garden though, with great satisfaction I can happily shred every last one of the wretched looking plants they passed on to me. I dont suppose the same can ever come of a wardrobe though.Barnabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514732451065187797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-32751832483554756272011-05-02T20:10:20.983+01:002011-05-02T20:10:20.983+01:00I go through my wardrobe once or twice a year and ...I go through my wardrobe once or twice a year and I've learnt to be quite ruthless...although most of my old clothes end up in my daughter's wardrobe ~ I look at that as a sort of compliment!Akasha Savage.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13482147165827577180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-71044142154369176362011-05-02T19:15:36.543+01:002011-05-02T19:15:36.543+01:00I'm the opposite - don't know what the ter...I'm the opposite - don't know what the term is for the opposite of hoarder, but I'm one of them.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.com
