    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    My ex asked me on Sunday where all his tools had gone - told him straight he got rid of them about 4 years ago before we moved here as I had a complete toolkit and his was all odd ones from his dad. He also finally found an umbrella he's been insisting was here - in one of the 20 photocopier-paper-boxes of his stuff I packed up when he moved out in MARCH :rolleyes: I told him it was there but he wouldn't have it. That was a fun declutter session ;):rotfl::rotfl:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Excellent interpretation of the tune ZZ

    Today I buried a broken south park character that sits in a fridge and tells you 'you are fat' when you open the door..................!!!!!!!:confused:
    How nervous was I when he lifted the bag to put it in the bin!
