I had a nice little bike, no idea why I got rid of it.
Also a really useful navy blue V neck jumper with a ribbed pattern.

The Brio. We had loads of Brio and other compatible train set stuff. Sold it as a job lot on eBay when we thought the DCs were growing out of it. We miss it.

I sold something belonging to DS (he hadn't looked at it in over 2 yrs). Hobby I thought he'd forget about...

Sure enough, he's totally into the hobby again. Oops.

My teenage diaries
My old vinyls
My photos with one ex. Mainly cos I was gorgeous then. He was a cock.

Our Honda Crz in a white pearl with grey leather seats. Got rid of it so we could get a family car as I was pregnant. We both still miss it Grin

A wool jumper that was really warm, but I thought that the pattern made my hips look bigger big. My DM has outgotrid me though, by selling my Great Grandparents old victorian rocking chair. It was the only heirloom furniture in the family. And no, she didn't need the money, she's richer than lots of rich people.

My funky checked trousers.

My clarinet. I really enjoyed it but DH was obsessed with whether I had practised that day and it became a chore so I got rid of it.

So wish I hadn't.

We had lots of Hornby "Thomas" trains etc for our son when he was young. They'd been cluttering our spare room for years, so a few years ago, we sold them on Ebay. At the time, very pleased with the money we got as it was more than they cost us.

Now, they're rare and have rocketed in value. We had a Flying Scotsman which cost us around £75, we sold it for £150, but they can now sell for upwards of £500. Some others are in the thousands.

Hey ho, you win some, you lose some.

Yep it’s photos with ex’s here too! I thought they would be no ones by the time I was 30 and most are but actually I would still like photos of those parts of my lives! X

Seriously, Kazzyhoward?

A beautiful white leather chaise longue- sold it on eBay thinking it was the right thing to do with having DC- I miss it so much. I've tried and tried to find something similar but no luck.

A fuchsia pink wool rug- also sold on eBay- doesn't seem to be another one available anywhere else in the world :/

A teddy from when I was young.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 17/01/2021 16:24

A suit which was my mum’s from the late 50s. Ditto a leather handbag. My dh’s clothes from the 80s.(including a zoot suit and a very funky overcoat and his paisley shirts.)

Bearnecessity · 17/01/2021 16:28

My mum knitted for England when dc was young, beautiful jumpers and hoodies I gave them all away really wish I'd kept 3/4....sniff I have got photos but it is not the same.
