          Hahaha oh dear.... :redface: "please take my items"?!

          On a serious note though, can you take me away from this hoarder's heaven?

          (Chicken run people have jumped after an email to them.. apparently, the parts are arriving tomorrow :th scifD36:)

            @Linz - you are not alone, we all hoard stuff unintentionally and it is only when we get to the point where we start having a clear out that we realise just how much stuff we have. You should see my shed!

            So yeah, I honestly don't think I would be any good to take you away from anywhere....

                FC means we Men do, Sheal:dunno:. We always store "stuff" for decades because we "know" we'll need maybe in the next century:yes::heehee:.

                  I don't think it's just a man thing Armandii, :biggrin: I think it's down to the type of people we are. I've never been a hoarder but my seven year old granddaughter has been since the age of three. Getting her to part with anything, even a piece of paper with some scribble on it and it's fight on! :snorky:

                    Other half "stored" 2 front doors, an internal door and 3 bags of cement mix (2 of which are gone off!) Me on the other hand..a 2-man dingy that is nearly as old as me - just in case, various camping cr**, left over tiles (about 4/5 boxes) and grouting stuff from doing the kitchen last year (and the bathroom 9 years ago).. that's just the shed.

                    I have, however, managed to get rid of a kids armchair, little Ikea table, a subwoofer, foot spa, a storage poofee (pouffe) and a light fitting from inside... When I say "get rid", I mean I've put it next to the shed :doh:

                    Ah yes, Sheal! I hoard paper too, every little scrap the kids have come home with.. it goes into a box (or moved around every few days).. even my nieces' drawings her mother has dumped on me I just cannot get rid!!

                      I kept certain things from my own kids past, their first pair of shoes etc. which have now been given back to them. I also treasure some of the little things that my grandchildren give me but my granddaughter will scribble something with no meaning but it's still kept and fought over. Then there's the bigger fight about getting rid of some of the two to three dozen cuddly toys she has that never see daylight. I've been there when that's happened, not a pretty sight! :snorky:

                        Well, not many Women[:love30:] use a Garage the way a man does, Sheal:dunno: It rarely holds a car but becomes the Workshop and, as all Men know, a Workshop becomes over the years a National Collection of "Things that might be needed during the next ten decades". So it's in every Man's DNA to have many, nay, innumerable, boxes of nuts, bolts, nails, screws, cable, string, opened tins of paint, power tools that no longer work, tarpaulin, sheets of metal, timber, old lighting bulbs, oil, pots, broken spades, shovels, empty plastic bottles and storage bottles, ladders, vices, brushes, Pressure Sprayers [working and broken], 50 year old Saws, Chisels, screwdrivers, measures [wooden and tape], latches, locks, varnish, glue, roofing materials for solving leaks, old and new fishing gear, old oil cans, hacksaws, canvas, mowers, hedge trimmers large and small, tree loppers, Jack Hammers, Sledge Hammers, Bird Seed Storage Bins, Drill Press, Bench Grinder, Voltage Testers, Muiltimeters, Battery Chargers, pumps, etc, and also anything else that can be fitted in.:snorky: Hmm, I might just have described my Garage:scratch::doh::snorky:

                          It sounds like it's bulging at the seams Armandii! Yes, I'd keep things that I know I would use at a later point (but not until it's antique :snorky:), but all the stuff that doesn't work or is broken would be binned. :)
