An old ironing board, a bedhead, a drain cover etc<br /><br />It's a bit awkward now the local tip only opens at weekends but I promised her I'd get it sorted soon.<br /><br />"Why are you so keen to get your garage clear anyway?", I asked yesterday.<br /><br />"I'm not worried for myself. It's just that if I kick the bucket I don't want you to have all the hassle of emptying out the garage".<br /><br />I didn't know what to say.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780409453528524865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-29545704738478962742010-10-04T13:35:25.672+01:002010-10-04T13:35:25.672+01:00I don't go in for ornaments myself, Roses.

If I saw and bought one attractive object, it wouldn't make me want another one.<br /><br />The worst, Pat, is when someone tries to use their will as some sort of threat to try to keep their relatives in line! In the case I mentioned, at that time the china wouldn't have been worth that much - Lowestoft wasn't highly rated on the whole, though interesting shapes and inscribed pieces have always been valued - it was portable and convenient to sell and the brothers didn't rate it - certainly it wasn't intended to do their sister out of anything!<br /><br />Priceless indeed, Anon, I hope you're having a good day. I'd not mind snuggling up under a duvet with a clutch of films to watch and books to read today.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-14635342256518261832010-10-04T11:12:05.307+01:002010-10-04T11:12:05.307+01:00Yes there are some things of little monetary value...Yes there are some things of little monetary value which are priceless to us.<br />BTW I wish old people would keep quiet about their blessed wills. It can cause so much trouble and disappointment and often is done as a carrot which more often then not fails to materialise after they've popped their clogs.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-47245255770622977832010-10-04T09:33:09.079+01:002010-10-04T09:33:09.079+01:00There is an all out tube strike on and the rain is...There is an all out tube strike on and the rain is pelting down in bullets.

I am a fan of boxes. I have an old cigar box from my grandmother which I love to bits. And no, I wouldn't sell that either.<br /><br />Though goodnes knows what Boy is going to do with all the crap I've collected when I drop dead. He certainly won't thank me for having to wade through it all.Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.com
