    Yeah, husband has uses for them - wearing them! Only for sports, but still... :o

    Men... you can't like with them and you can't live with them :p;)

    Ah, they differ there because mine will wear them anywhere. The number of times I look at him in a week and say "are you wearing that OUT?" Honestly. He wears pyjama shorts that the kids bought him as outer wear. :wall: He wasn't like that when we met!

    Sometimes he comes home wearing his dad's clothes if he's showered there. (shudder)

    We had a loft at our first house and took all the junk to our second house with loft.

    We moved to a third house and over 40 years of accumulated junk came with us.

    As my husband says "you never know if it will come in useful!" (as he stuffs it in the draw/wardrobe/garage). I have had to prise holely t-shirts out of his hands before now.... :o

    mine claims he needs to keep them as gardening clothes! I'm embarrassed that our immediate neighbours see him in them :o

    We moved from a 3 storey 3 bedroom house (with storage in the eaves) to a 4 bedroom with a loft. I had a huge clearout. We didn't have a garage at the last house. We haven't put anything up into this loft yet, and my garage is full to bursting. I don't know where the stuff comes from.

    Think i would have needed 20 skips with the amount of stuff that has already come out.

    We are moving in 4 months to a new biuld....we have had several trips to the skip already and that's without starting on the loft. That is next on our list. Bags of stuff to charity too!

    What CAN we do with them...

    I am afraid that mine was always like that (actually he is now a HUGE improvement on what is was like... :rolleyes: ): sort of a "project"...

    I think that I have a LOT more work to do... :o

    Having a good tidy up and throw away is one of the most satisfying things you can do. I loved moving, it was fantastic just being able to empty drawers and fill bin bags with stuff you didn't need.
    I think the charity shop woman thought I was mad cos I kept going in with bag fulls of stuff.
    It was a bit annoying though because everytime I went in there for a browse, the only things on sale were my own old clothes!
