Csarina, could you not scan the paper cuttings? Then you still have them o the computer but not in physical form.
I'm sure some of the kondo team do this with photos and paperwork.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will talk to him about it. There is also a box his sister gave him with a load of stuff in re his Grandfathers old shop, long since gone, as is he!! I keep asking him to go through it but thats as far as it gets.

I am planning to scan at least 3 lots of photos a day until they have all gone. I put them through the shredder after they have been scanned and then transfer the pictures to discs.

2 large toy fire engines that my boy has grown out of. One of them kept setting itself off making noises 'brm brm...nee naa nee naa'. I did get some strange looks as I was walking along the road.

I was a little sad to see it go as he used to love it so much but then I reminded myself I bought it from a charity shop in the first place and now some other little one can have the fun of playing with it.

That made me laugh Ginmonster - I had a similar experience with a ZuZu pet which I sold at a table sale. It 'woke up' as the lady put it in her bag and kept chirping all the way round the room.

. I've mentioned before that I also feel sad about my DD clearing out things which were significant in her childhood, particularly books.

I keep telling myself that someone else will appreciate both the book/toy and the fact that it's a bargain from the cs...... and then let it go!

Well,that's a bit rubbish!!
I have spent the last hour typing up my list of stuff that left the house today.Went to press "enter",and my internet was down (my computer has a habit of losing connection if it is "idle" for too long :eek:).Fiddled around with it,copied my post,reset internet,restarted computer,but computer obviously doesn't "save" when it is restarted.I have taken a photo of my post (because my computer has form :eek::eek:),but don't have time to relist now.
