I used to save every birthday card the kids got, then I walked out and left them all there............does anyone save birthday and christmas cards from special people i have all the ones that say to a special mummy or to a wonderful daughter in a box on the top of my wardrobe - im sure the kids will want to chuck them when i pop me cloggs -
He is a hunter-gatherer - it's the basis of our civilisation.Husband & smallest child are terrible hoarders - they like to pile stuff up in, well, piles - & husband infuriates me by bringing home stuff from *work that he says he's going to do something with & then DOESN'T!
Let me know where 1 is and i'll have a clear outI find a skip can be a useful cure to hoarding.
This was a few years ago, It made me quite unwell. I fought back in the end and then ran away to be doubly sure lol.Gadget. Fight back.
Also, are you sure the dragons are OK in the loft? Do they get enough sunlight to make vitamin D up there? Exercise? And I'm intrigued to hear that they previously lived on shelves. Knew cats are very fond of shelves, but didn't know dragons are funny that way as well.
Parents loft is stacked from floor to ceiling with full boxes of stuff. They recently decided that maybe they should start lookin through the boxes to find 'important' stuff to give to myself & my step-brother - there were large sepia pictures of people we don't know, tonnes if childhood notes, letters & cards, & my step-brother (50yrs old) received the receipt from his first Pram as a newborn baby....I tended to keep putting things in the loft then one day I noticed a crack appearing in the lounge ceiling. So I went for the skip option, that was about 15 yrs ago, I could probably do with another now.

....really useful stuff!
Not mine, but step-mothers...I don't believe old portraits of my family exist (well, they probably do, but not in my part of the family).Old photo's of your relatives ? do your parents know who they are. I found all our old photo's and went through them, managed to identify many with the help of the family.
