Funny that the only thing that Husband wants to throw away are my things. His things are useful and it doesn't matter that they haven't seen the light of day in years. And just when we've had a clear out, after much 'discussion', guess what appears on the doorstep, more crap freebees he's scored from work. I dread moving from this house, ever.Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-1108791213610289682011-08-19T20:35:18.134-04:002011-08-19T20:35:18.134-04:00y'all don't know Mrs. Cranky you can not ...y'all don't know Mrs. Cranky you can not slip anything by her!<br /><br />crankyjoehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2954302575592245792011-08-19T20:19:35.390-04:002011-08-19T20:19:35.390-04:00MM is right - you will not win.

That's an upgrade from #2.<br /><br />Devon and I love to throw stuff out, however, we also like to accumulate. <br /><br />Here are some basic rules:<br />1. By something new, throw its counter part away or something of similar size.<br />2. If we haven't used it in the past 3 years, garbage.<br /><br />3. When Devon is not home I throw stuff out, she never misses it, and is thankful it is gone.<br /><br />I look forward to 100 years from now when Me, Peter, Casey, and Spencer rent a dumpster and fulfill your wishes.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369804112787506913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-180836548265805702011-07-13T18:50:29.166-04:002011-07-13T18:50:29.166-04:00what's wrong with tupperware??!! glad to see ...what's wrong with tupperware??!! glad to see i'm at least giving you some good stuff to write about ...kabarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783245495401683861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2396565703336673102011-07-13T15:52:32.470-04:002011-07-13T15:52:32.470-04:00Have to say Joe that if you are a jerk, so must my...Have to say Joe that if you are a jerk, so must my other half be too..<br /><br />Having travelled half-way around the world to spend 2 weeks together setting up stuff in our new house - I have never seen so much stuff..It's a good job that when the kids and I finally do get the visa sorted, that we are travelling light, because the new house is full to bursting and there won't be any room for anything else - the only saving grace is that most of it I can find a home for or a use for, and thankfully like..<br /><br />...and sshhhh...he has a cupboard full of tupperware too.....lol<br /><br />Have fun<br />Lou :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
