Moving on up! 🏡

I wouldn't be getting rid of any of those, they are probably better quality and after a few washes will dry better than any modern one plus so jolly to use and remember your gran 😁

Seconded 👍 You'll also never need to buy a tea towel again!

Belated happy anniversary 🥂

Aww🥰, love your Nan's tea towel collection you can think of her when your drying up.

I must admit to buying new tea towels, but then still using my old tatty ones because l don't want the new ones to get stained 🤣 .

Wow, 78 teatowels is certainly a commitment!

Tea towel collecting is a new one on me. My nan used to collect those small decorative teaspoons wherever she went and they were displayed on a special holder on the wall. I always wondered as a kid what the point was.

At least all these things could be practically used I guess… better than some plastic tat that immediately breaks!

@beanielou thank you for the anniversary wishes and hope you had a lovely holiday! X

Thanks all for the tea towel comments! My nan would have laughed knowing her collection had caused such a stir in the forum 🤣 I'm starting to wonder what i will find next! I did suggest to my mum about keeping them all and that they would see us out 🤣 She said about getting a stall at the village Christmas Market, selling them for a pound and giving the money to charity and my dad says we should have a garage sale at my grandads to sell all this stuff I find!

@QueenJess Funnily enough I found a small box with 4x teaspoons in! Maybe my nan had starting branching out into those as well 😅

Omg do not get rid of those tea towels! They'll be worth ten of the ones we get now! I'd be hoarding them for my own use and every time you pull a new one out for years to come you'd get to think of your nan ❤️

There's someone who comments on Foxgloves thread who likes to use the phrase 'sable' - supply acquired beyond life expectancy' (or similar). Now, it's not normally something you'd think of for someone in their 40s, but this seems like it might apply here if you keep them! 😂

Haha! Tea towels for life! 🤣 Well, my mum and aunt are keen on the idea of selling them and giving the money to charity. I did already take 4. Might sneak a couple more and leave the rest for charity.

Well, the 1st of October saw all the bills go out, there is just groceries and dog groceries to come out of what is left in my account. What is left over from then will go back into building my savings up to £4k after paying out for the new fence, it's currently £3,585 so not far to go.

I have a few Christmas presents now and they just need wrapping which I'll do at the weekend. I did some baking yesterday, cheese scones and school cake (sponge cake with icing and sprinkles). I'm thinking of offering ironing as part of my cleaning business as a few people have asked about it. I need to do some research at the weekend. This could be a nice job to do at home and to make some extra money, so as much as I dislike ironing and don't even iron my own clothes, it could be worth it!
