    I have A4 sheets of paper with printed out emails from 10 years ago when we first got BB and joined AOL (just in case I need to contact them and need their details :o).

    That's it, I'm now beginning to feel a little more embarrassed, I'm nudging towards ruthless again now. None of this stuff makes me feel good. :confused: Thanks. :D

    Hello, I'm aliasojo and I'm a hoarder. *waves* :D

    I'm in the loft today trying to empty it as I have 32 rolls of insulation to lay and no space to keep them so they have to go down soon.

    I've done well up till now, I've been quite ruthless about some things. I have a 'donate to charity' pile, a 'dump' pile and a 'not sure about' pile.

    It's the 'not sure about' pile I need help with.

    So fancy helping me out?
    ....

    7) Old wooden crutches. Found them in someone's bin years ago and asked if I could take them as I thought they'd come in handy for a school play or something. :confused:

    8) Antlers (Shut up Pavlov) and a matching ship made out of antler I think. :o

    :rolleyes:


    It was the antlers and the crutches that absolutely cracked me up - I was reading it quite seriously up until then.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh lord, I have no room to laugh as my loft is probably a lot worse than yours! But thank you for making me giggle this morning, I so enjoyed this post.

    :T:rotfl::T:rotfl::T:rotfl:

    Ok, I'm having a tea break because Lord knows how hard I've worked this morning (:o not) and I'm going to get going properly soon, I'm just working up to it. :D

    Lunch time! Just thrown out LOADS of empty cardboard boxes.

    I found a cardboard box full of small squishy pink pigs I got when Pigsback.com started up and gave them away as a promo thing. I thought I was getting one...but I got one box...they're very cute. Don't know what to do with them though. :confused:

    I also have loads of ITVDigital 'Monkey' stuff, when they shut down, the employees ransacked the building and sold off all the Monkey memorabilia on eBay. I'll not tell you how much I paid for a signed picture of Chris Tarrant and Monkey. :o I have umbrellas/mugs/pictures/stuffed Monkey x 3 (the original with original T-shirt).

    I have 3 x Sony freeview boxes, 2 are brand new, I have a brand new stereo (which daughter will get for Xmas so that's ok) and various portable tv's and video players.

    I have an exercise machine and one of those sets that you stick to yourself with pads and it exercises your muscles whilst you sit on the couch eating chocolate biscuits. :D

    See......I have lots of good things as well as junk. :confused:
